Seller Listing Pet Peeve


When I'm viewing for sale ads one of the first things I look for are the connections the particular piece of equipment require or can accommodate.  

The latest was a DAC that had many photos of the top, sides, front, even different angles of the same view, but not a single photo of the rear.  Yeah, I know I can look it up if I'm that interested but the seller could make that point easy on me.  

To me it is critical to understand the options/limitations of a piece of equipment from the very start whether it is an amp, preamp, speakers, DAC, etc.  

OK, rant off.

OMG!!!  So many times have I seen ads for:

1.  Expensive speakers and they won’t take the grills off to show the drivers

2.  Electronics where the seller thinks everyone wants to see a dozen pictures of the insides and none of the front faceplate and rear, yet label it an 8 or 9

3.  Expensive speakers but they won’t take a picture of the rear so you have no idea of the terminals or if it’s rear ported

 

These are the main violations…. And if I’m looking at ads late at night and less tolerant of things after a full day, then you just want to vent!  I have found myself loudly exclaiming to no one, “Jeez, how hard is it to take some GD pictures!!!”
