"Rotary Phones" You date yourself! Ourselves? If you remember party lines you get a "Full Pass"
I bow to your age and wisdom.I remember the crank type phone we had in the kitchen. Our ring was two longs and two shorts. Mom would frequently need to tell the neighbor to mind their own business and get off the line.
Rant Mode On: Guy has a part listed here for months with no takers, he's in OR and I'm in WA. The part is small and probably weighs no more than 4 oz. I offer to buy it at his price shipped and he says that he wants a local buyer, his prerogative but WTF! Rant Mode Off...
It would help if the photos are in focus, too. And camera is on a tripod, not hand held.For all that is HOLY, When you need to sell something. Something expensive, like a GUN! With lots of moving parts, and things to wear, or rust, dent, fade. And you want OVER $1,000.00. That is one, thousand, dollars! TEN one hundred dollar bills!
Learn how to take pictures and post them. I can do it for hell's sake! And I'm not very smart!
Good lord people! Another gun in the ads for a K with no pictures. Sure, I can go online and look at the model. But I shouldn't have to ask for pics. And get a little light on the gun in those pictures. You know, so you might actually see the finish? Try looking at the picture before you post it on the board? Put all your feet in the picture for all I care. Just get some damned light in there so we can actually see the gun.
Rant Over. For know.
I'll admit, the pics I take aren't that good. Compared to some folks here that have it down pretty good, But I try. I look at the pic on the camera, and on the computer before posting.It would help if the photos are in focus, too. And camera is on a tripod, not hand held.
Every used gun has minor scratches. If I don't see any I figure you have buffed finish and removed who knows how much rust, pitting, etc.
Depth of focus should be deep enough to show most of gun in focus. You can get this by setting aperture as small as possible that still gives adequate light.
Avoid glare and whiteouts by doing photos outdoors in overcast light. Alternately you can use a Polaroid filter.
It will take multiple photos to show both sides and all parts of the gun adequately.
A photo of the whole gun is a good place to start but doesn't show the details well enough.
As a consumer it's not my job to build value into somebodies vague listing! I shouldn't have to request that the OP provides more detailed photos. 9X out of 10 they get all booty hurt and insulted when you inquire for more. Just piggybacking your rant.OVER $1,000.00.

It might help if there was an explanation. I'm an older guy, and not tech savvy at all. I don't use a cell phone, and when I need to answer the wife's phone I have to look around for the answer button. And the hang-up! So if a seller said "Hey, sorry no pictures, I can't figure it out", would be different. We'd have to figure something out.As a consumer it's not my job to build value into somebodies vague listing!

You can bet if I put "I'll Take it" up there, that I'm getting right on opening a convo!I got one, please do not say "I will take it!" then just disappear.... At least tell the person that you changed your mind, that is ok to do ya know...
And double...
Then what the H E double hockey sticks man! I have a NIB Eotech EXPS3 with your name on it just waiting for you!!!You can bet if I put "I'll Take it" up there, that I'm getting right on opening a convo!
And Three Feetsies in the photo!Then what the H E double hockey sticks man! I have a NIB Eotech EXPS3 with your name on it just waiting for you!!!
"Email for pics" is code for "I can't post pics."For all that is HOLY, When you need to sell something. Something expensive, like a GUN! With lots of moving parts, and things to wear, or rust, dent, fade. And you want OVER $1,000.00. That is one, thousand, dollars! TEN one hundred dollar bills!
