RANT: Sellers who take poor pictures when selling their car

[MrSlacker]

Its 2am, I am pumped on coffee and don't want to study for finance exam so I want to vent!
Why can't people take goddamn 10 minutes to clean their car before taking pictures of it???

I am sick and tired of looking at FS threads and seeing the same shit over and over again: garbage all over car, crooked floor mats, shit out of place, DIRT, dirty exterior.

Also, why the hell do you post FIVE shots of the same fucking side of the car? I understand that you love photoshop and your best friend Jimmy is an aspiring car photog and did a "pro photoshoot" of your car, but I want to see ENTIRE car, not one angle that Jimmy likes to take pictures of.

One picture of interior is NOT enough!!! Take picture of all the seats asshole. I know you are trying to cover up that rip in the driver seat, just man up and show it!

I hope I offended some of you, so may be you can take some new fucking pictures!


Should I post 30 pictures I took of my E30 when I was selling it as an example of how it should be done?

[e30nub]

Yes, show us how it's done "MrSlacker".

[MrSlacker]

Dont mind the first 3 pictures.

You bring up a good point. It really shows how much people care about their cars.

If it's a car you're seriously interested in, why not take 10 fucking minutes to call the seller? Or 30 fucking minutes to see it yourself?

Because it might be more than 3 hours away in one direction! Calling a seller does not always get you a straight up honest shot of a car as well.

Because I want to see pictures before I contact the seller. My rant also applies to people who email shitty pics when you request more pics. 30 minutes to see the car? Not all cars are being sold in my back-yeard... :down:

Exactly... I almost bought a car that seller said "small rip in the seat" then he sent me pictures - the entire seat was DESTROYED

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww rust. :giggle:

YUP! Thats why I sold it

[IminDiegoTriick]

I agree with you. Saves everyone the time if the seller takes a the time to snap shots of everything that matters. Easier Sell, Easier transaction, Easier life

[coreyw]

Seriously. I hate when people are such dicks about selling there car ("Don't call unless you have cash in hand", "Don't waste my time with stupid questions") Like for reals? You're selling a freaking car, I'll ask whatever the hell I want to know.
And when people don't put pictures or bad pictures, well I might've been interested, but seeing as you can't even take the few minutes to take and post pictures (or clean your car for the pics) then no way am I going to care anymore.

[Butler]

Agreed.



But not everyone gives a fuck, so its confirmed, searching for used cars sucks.

[LuckyHenriksen]

I agree. I will also ad to the rant: When people write ads with the worst grammar/spelling possible, including gangster slang. I actually pride myself on my CL posting abilities haha

Also crappy camera phone pics make me sad
