This is not a B1tCh, just a perplexing observation from a consumers point of view
Subject has likely come up before but I either cant remember, (most likely) or couldn't come up with the right key words, but even this old man found a way to post pictures on this forum.
I don't understand the aversion to, or is seemingly downright obstinate in not posting pictures for sale ads.
Why do some deny easy visual access if a sale is truly what they seek.
Heck, I caught flack from a moderator some time ago just because I did not word the title enticingly, or accurately, enough they felt ambiguous! (OK, it was ambiguous, but like those I'm mentioning here, it was my post)
There have been a few even become cantankerous when pictures were asked to be posted.
"I said I'll text them to you!" Some have angrily retorted.
But I don't have a cell phone!
Even if I had, I still don't want to Willy Nilly send my phone # to the cyber space or even unknown ad snobs. I already get a minimum of four unsolicited calls a day to my land line and I'm on every no call list I could find!
With all the phishing and other forms of unkindly intrusion happening, I don't like sending E mails to the unknown without earnest interest and the feeling (at least) the other party is on the up and up.
Some times earnest interest is inspired by the pictures. Admit it, you have all found something you had to have from seeing a picture when previously you were happy without it.
Also I don't like having to click on another, and unknown, link to who knows where, just to view the picture portion of their ad. though happened on this site, (that I know of) but has had detrimental side affects other places.
By the title, some ads spark interest but when the seller won't meet you half way, I ignore them.
Nor will I buy from catalogs that show their wares via drawings in lieu of pictures. Lord knows pictures can be deceiving enough, but drawings? Really? In my mind some have unmitigated gall. Even when I want something it comes only with inspection and refusal rights if used, and inspection and return rights if not.
Their right to do so of course, albeit likely their loss.
