Pictures, More Pictures

Here's my view - If I'm selling a hi$ component, and a prospective buyer requests more pictures, or asks nitty questions, I don't think for a nanosecond about whether to comply. It takes at most 10 min to take shots from multiple angles and upload them to an email.

Certainly, do what you want. But if I was a buyer interested in your sale and you balked at sending me some pic's, it would probably be the last conversation we had. Feedback isn't everything, and I agree pic's aren't everything either, but, it's so easy to be accommodating and demonstrate goodwill by being responsive.

$11,000 worth of gear and you can't be bothered to spend 3 minutes and take a few more shots at a buyers request?

I'm not upset. And I don't need more hits. The response has been quite adequate. In fact, I'm not even all that eager to sell. It costs six bucks to drop your line in the water and there are upgrades I would pursue if the planets were to align favorably, but what I have is pretty new and pretty nice.

The reason for the thread is simple enough - I just sold a couple of stereo amps and traded a phono section for an amp. None of this required suspicions or proof. Naturally, it's nice to see the product in a photo. Certainly it makes sense for a buyer to sometimes need a specific question answered or a specific detail revealed. What I've gotten lately were requests for more photos, without any conversation whatsoever. In fact, as far as I could tell, pictures were all the guy wanted. Sorry, but that rubbed me the wrong way.

So the speaker ad, with its 2700 or so hits, will expire in a few days and I'll try again someday maybe.

I've noticed in the past that ridiculously low offers tend to appear just before an ad expires. Anybody else had that experience?

Even an amateur photographer (and Audiongoner for that matter) could have taken pictures, edited same, and uploaded them in far less time than our friend has spent on the whining, crying, and chest thumping here.

Lack,

Could you send me a pic of the back of the Rowland unit?
