Default Why do so many people post things for sale without prices or pictures?

Posted By: Shawn Chambers

Barry,



I did buy a few T205s off of you recently (requested scans) and appreciate your promptness. I am super happy with them.



I, honestly, rarely request a scan and usually just skip the ones that don't take time to post photos. I don't always have email access during the day and I figure by the time I request a scan, get a reply, and see the reply--someone else has probably snagged it (assuming the price was realistic).



Occasionally, I will get a scan that is in an odd format or otherwise unopenable. By the time I work it out to get a proper scan re-emailed more time and energy is wasted.



I am a lower end collector and I do want to always see what I'm buying. I like bad corners and bit off-center MUCH more than a crease or paperloss on the front. Also, I really like good registration and I have seen plenty of higher graded cards that have poor registration.



The handful of things I have sold on B/S/T...I ALWAYS use pictures. Saves me the hassle of having to respond to a bunch of requests and doesn't waste anyone's time when a requested scan arrives and they finally view my substandard goods...lol...





Best to you all,



Shawn
