Huge Pet Peeve!!!!

Sort of off topic I guess but my biggest pet peeve is when sells do not post pics of what they are selling on this site! Provide links for pics at the very least!

A bunch of words with prices really does not sell the product very well! :P

If I don't see pictures, I ignore the listing completely.

Re: Huge Pet Peeve!!!!

Also for me, and while this doesn't exactly involve toys or unwanted feline urination, it both irks & amuses me to come across a job advertisement wanting people to apply via fax. Like, I know this usually isn't the reason, but part of me still laughs at the idea of said employer not having a computer or place of business, even though at least one of those things is usually needed to place an ad online to begin with.

Re: Huge Pet Peeve!!!!

i agree with your gripe,also i have to add ones that lack pricing...."pm me for details" usually to me means i'll spend more than it's worth.(i also grow tired of playing "pm tag" some days)

Re: Huge Pet Peeve!!!!

I think while pictures not being there does kinda suck, not having prices is my biggest problem, your just wasting everyone's time. A lot of guys do that to see who offers the most money while ignoring other pms of lower "bids", it's a waste of time and "PM" message slots.

Yeah, this is a bigger pet peeve of mine. Put a price on it. I've been on other forums where they require sellers to have a price on each item. If a seller wants highest bid style selling, there's always eBay.

Re: Huge Pet Peeve!!!!

I'd say Ebay is my biggest collecting pet peeve. It basically turned everyone into wannabe day-traders. :/

I totally agree!

However, I also acknowledge that taking pictures, uploading them, and linking them on a forum can be tedious and time consuming.

On the other hand, if a seller is selling loose items, pictures are essentially vital.

P.S. I didn't post pictures of my "for sale" stuff because:
  • I was lazy
  • they were "stock" MISB items
