I will not consider gear if a picture is not posted with the add. I also want to see the original specs in the body of the add so I don't have to go searching all over the place to find them. I'm not sure why anyone thinks I would spend $5000 on something sight unseen but I'd test drive a $1000 winter beater. What I like about pictures is that I can quickly see how a person takes care of their gear. I will not consider gear when the picture..
-shows a dust covered piece of equipment (lazy slacker)
-was taken in your garage, sidewalk or deck (stored in garage?)
-is from the manufacturers web site (hiding something or just lazy?)
-was taken with the gear on your wall to wall carpeting (why?)
-is taken so far away I can't pick it out from your other gear
Dents are absolutely out of the question. I can understand a scratch but not multiple scratches. Then I know you're running through the woods with your equipment : )
