I'm selling a bass, pics coming soon, make me an offer.

[thumbo]

Come on people of the basses for sale forum, put a bit of effort into your ads. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes to take a little time with sorting out some nice photos and a proper description. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but as daily browser of the for sale forum these lack lustre ads are becoming too frequent. And the forum rule on stating a price - how hard is this to comprehend?

The classifieds section of this website is a privilege, treat it as such! *grumble over*

[4 Strings]

So, um, how uh does it weigh?

[fumps]

Does it waste you Tim ?

I'm just glad my work based browser will not show pics from stuff like flicker.....all i get is "posted image"

[tonyquipment]

What is this bass?

[BassTractor]

Yeah, why not try to [b]sell[/b] when you wanna sell, like for example stating it's the best bass on here.
That should get people into action!

Seriously though, isn't this regulating itself? As in that lazy sellers don't get the sell?
Me, I'd never even respond to a lazy ad - thinking that that person probably is not who I'd want to deal with anyway.


best,
bert

Normal kind of bass weight, about the same as a large cat.

Don't worry, you're money is quite safe. David Smith's brother is definately transfering £2,000,000 to my UK account now that he has my account details and I've only got to give him half back for my trouble.

That one is a massive red flag to me. It suggests that the seller may well change their mind once you've agreed a deal.

Either sell, or don't.
