it's not just you.

The point that I take from this topic is that if a seller is not willing to put in a bit of an effort, then neither are the potential buyers. The sellers who opt not to post pictures lose out.

that's pretty accurate

EXACTLY And I didnt put that rods for sale in ads need pics in the title so........BUT I did delete it

That feature was completely from Admin. He convinced me it was a good idea and then he implemented it. He gets all the Kudos for it.

Even better, if you want to send a donation his way, we have that Donate button on the page now (keep scrolling down - it's near the bottom).

If I have something to sell I always post some pictures. Maybe not the best pictures but you can get a good idea of what the item for sale looks like. Seems to me that if you want to sell it giving a potential buyer as much information as possible is a good thing. With the new picture thingy it's a piece of cake.

I am one of those that tried to figure out the photos before the new system, and was frustrated and didn’t want to deal with it. I don’t always get to visit the site as much a I would like to and was unaware of the new photo system. I recently posted two rods for sale and didn’t realize that some were so offended by the “email me for pictures” statement. I read all the posts and I can see your points about wanting to see pictures, or that a picture just might be the trigger for a sale. I agree, however, in my case, I can assure you that it isn’t because I’m lazy, or I don’t care about selling my rod or if the person buying the rod likes it or not. I do. It is simply that I didn’t want to deal with a third party host to post pictures and I didn’t realize that it the statement “email me for pictures” offered some people. I have since discovered the new system and have compressed my photos and added them to my listing. Thank you for the new system; it’s so nice to be able to post straight off my phone.
