Ad pet peeve #1: feet in pics... especially bare feet. I don't care how good the deal, I click away as soon as I see feet. I don't even want to see shoes.. unless that's what's for sale.
Ad pet peeve #2: Grainy or out of focus pics... Ya it's better than nothing, its literally harder to not take a legible photo. If your posting to the net.. you have the tech to take a decent pic.
Ad pet peeve #3: no description... saw an ad on armslist yesterday that said: M1 $300... no pic, nothing else. WTF?
is it a helmet, a rifle, or an abrahms tank?
Ad pet peeve #4: your list of demands to potential buyers being longer than your product description.... as if your doing folks a favor by letting them buy your crap. If you are selling something on a public forum, your gunna have to deal with the public... good luck making a sell when your terms are more restrictive than those of dating your daughter.
Ad pet peeve #5: no price. Thank you NWFA for that rule!
And lastly over priced items in a forum like this are not harmless... in that people browse and see what is being asked and assume that's the going rate. Then they post theirs for a similar price, and before you know it the whole forum is filled with used gear at full retail prices.
There is no way to govern what someone asks for their item. Nor will there be here at NWFA. Trust me, we have enough educated members here that there is no way the classifieds will be full of used gear at retail pricing.
The no thread cr@p rule will NEVER go away.
