Default Quick Rant

I have noticed as of late (I am looking to get another ride) that in our very own classified section, There is a shortage of people with cameras. I cant understand why people trying to sell an item for several thousand dollars will not post pics? If your too lazy to make a decent ad why would anyone want to give your lazy butt their Hard Earned Cash? Just sayin. I posted my car awhile back and had plenty of pics, I have posted door panels, Steering wheels , and alot of other things here & other sites.
Don't feed me that "I don't know how"CRAP. I am not very computer savy and I do it. Someone you know can walk you through this impossible feat!I don't have a camera? Someone you know does. And its free to join an image hosting site. (I'm broke & I'm on 2).
for the guys making good ads with PRICES & PICTURES. Please grab these other fellas by the collars and teach them the ways of a True Jedi!

One thing I have learned from selling online, is that pictures sell.

Most likely someone is trying to hide something if they don't have pictures. Every cell phone nowadays has a camera.

I just sold my car in three days after posting on craigslist, had good pictures in the ad. Got exactly what I was asking for it too! Ha! 98% of the people on here would have said it was over priced and I would never get what I did for it, but then again that's why I didn't post it on here.

Laziness... that's all it is - people are too lazy to invest a few minutes to create a solid ad and then blame the economy for it not selling.
