I have one more thing to add:
Buying and selling on here is something I learned through attrition. I had to learn what works and what doesn't. Not everyone is a sales person or has the depth of knowledge others do. Some ads are good, some ads are bad. Because you over look the ad for not having pictures may mean you miss the deal of a lifetime.
Instead of being negative about ads try to offer help on posting pictures and posting something positive instead of bashing someone that is trying to sell their items. Maybe even PM the person that maybe over priced and send a similar ad to them. I have many of times asked for pics and or offered to post them if they get emailed to me.
Its about being a community not about yourself.

People online for the most part are stupid VERY stupid, and added to the fact you can never tell is someone is genuine or being a smart ass. People automatically amusing the worst and well........you get responses like the one i used as and example.
again i commend you and 100% agree with your statement keep up the good work!! Me personally i don't have the patience to hold someones hand like that but then again, when pics are posted i don't bother to ever ask for pics i just move on to the next thread

Sarinexia LMAO... And your photo shows just how dirty you keep your cars. You shouldl be ashamed of yourself!
LOL
If you are going to put in your thread, "pm me with your email for pics and questions", be ready to answer them. I am ready to drop $300 on a slash and have been asking this one guy a pile of questions. He sends me one small ass photo and I have to keep asking over and over about what speed control and motor are in it and what parts come with it. If he really wanted to sell it he should be jumping at the chance to give me exact model and part numbers so I can see his asking price isn't out of line.
oh, and another one for me... You know you are selling the car. Take the 5 minutes and remove your damn electronics or servos if you don't want them to be included. The photos show a really nice setup that makes the asking price worthwhile. Then you put how everything in the photo will be removed. Why not just remove it and then take the pic?
Oh, and I'm sorry if this strokes a nerve with some... I don't care if your car made every main on the planet. Doesn't mean squat at my track because I will have to install everything electronic, it will be on my local track, and most importantly, I WILL BE DRIVING IT! LOL!!!
<edit>
One more... Don't call it a damn roller if wheels aren't included. Its NOT GOING TO ROLL ANYWHERE WITHOUT WHEELS OR TIRES!!!!
LOL

I just stumbled on another DO AND DON'T................going on this very second........
I HATE WITH A PASSION when people decide to sell off half or all of there collections and insist on having 15 threads another it.....There is plenty of room in the subject line to add a ton of info.....WHY WHY WHY do people do this......
For example........the FS section will turn into something like this
1)F/S HPI savage for sale clean.....
2)F/S Wheells from hpi savage
3)F/S Spare Misc parts from a savage
4)F/S A screw i found on my table i think it came from a savage
5)F/S The servo horn that was in the savage from the factory
6)F/S Futaba RX that was in my savage NO LONGER NEED
7)F/S Piece of tree i found in my truck while cleaning it........good deal here!!!
AND ITS ALL FROM THE SAME STUPID GUY!!!!!!!!!! DIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Ok that's a little far LOL but it does anger the hell out of me!!!
Ive seen tons of Getting out sales with great success a simple thread called....
Getting out, FS, Savage,Revo,T-maxx,Jato,E8ight,Mugen,InfernoGT,Plugs, Recivers,Futaba Radio ETC..................
LOOK HOW MUCH INFO I CAN PUT ON ONE TOPIC!!!!!

This thread describes how I feel absolutely perfectly haha
Things that bother me the most:
*not putting prices
I swear, it's a ploy to get their thread bumped up a bunch of times!
Post a few pics, post a description... no price
30 minutes later: post- "Price?"
another hour passes: post- "Price?"
and so on and so on.
*Asking for paypal fees
Don't even get me started.
Sometimes, if I'm buying something small (under $20), and the seller has been super nice and communicates well, I'll calculate out the fees and pay the extra $1.50 or whatever it would be to cover them just to be nice. Pay it forward, hopefully it'll get back to me someday!
*ALL CAPS
all caps, not neccesary... ever
(unless you are currently being stabbed)
*awesome things I can't afford
but that's my problem, noone elses

I find it irritating when buyers send a pm stating "I'm interested in your xyz. What's your best price shipped?"
I posted the price in the add. If you want to negotiate a lower price, this is the worst way of going about it. I will either ignore your pm all together or not budge on the listed price.

Some people might not want to waste time haggling and just want to know your bottom dollar price.
