  • probably going to get a warning for this one or hate email

    rant time...

    so it never amazes me how lazy some of us are around here...
    lots of golf nuts are on this site and on others, golfwrx for example.
    on this site they wont post a picture or a decent picture of the product they are trying to sell, yet on the other sites no problems (hi res and lots of them) what gives???

    what? we don't want to sell our goods to ourselves first?
    I understand that this site might be short of server space (perhaps) but I have seen several pictures that are mid res and larger then the little post-its that seem to be the norm around here.

    I tell you, if you are trying to sell some item and you don't have a picture I'm not even bothering to open the link!
    and if your pictures are the postage stamp kind in dark light...that doesn't cut it either...I have to be really serious to even send you a message and you know what, I will want high res pictures to confirm the condition of the product...so why try to hide it or not show it in the first place?

    and while i'm at this rant thing...
    what's with certain members posting single ad's back to back?
    just post one ad with multiple products on it...you can do that yes?

    but then again...its the same member that couldn't send me an simple email with the requested hi-res pictures, after I provided him with the my email address and requesting it twice "can we say ...trying to hide something..."

    rant over!

    I don't get the ads that say PM for pics. Why? why not just post them in the ad. it's not difficult to do.

    WRX requires pics, TGN does not. We've been down this road before and I wish pics were required.

      I don't buy without a picture or two and I never sell without posting pics in focus.

            host them on a service and post a link. Easy peasy.

              I prefer email. It's also a better way to communicate directly with people rather then going through PM on here. I can reply to emails faster then opening up links or this site on my phone and replying that way. Also, why use another source for a service that should be on this site already, but that would leave yet another question about the direction of this site that the owners won't answer, correct?

                I don't need pics in the ad, just an accurate description of the item.
                If I am interested, I'm quite happy to have pictures sent to me by email , more and better quality , also happy to send pictures.
                Many of the pics displayed in posts are distorted

                  why not post an image or two on this site then? I can then quickly decide if I want to follow-up or just move on.

                    really, golfwrx has pics and look at their success.
                    nothing sells better then a picture(s).
                    let me give you a good example,
                    right now I'm on wrx and here. on wrx , a member has posted a machine putter! I don't think his description would give credit to the quality of the putter especially the hozel. what did he do?
                    he just described the measurements the color of the insert and what grip the putter has. The pictures is what's really selling the item. It's a gorgeous machine putter! if I liked machine I would be all over that putter!
                    it's not the description that is selling me on the putter its the pictures! that have me really interested.
                    if there were no pictures, I wouldnt even open the post, since I dont buy machines'
                    All i'm saying is why not just let the pictures do the talking...
                    do you buy a car without seeing it first?

                      Been here since 2005, issue has been raised COUNTLESS times and has always fallen on deaf ears. Ownership are next to non-existent and don't really care, which is about the same attitude the rest of the long time posters and supporters of this site take. You are just beating a dead horse.

                      The site software is also in need of an update, but again they have no plans to do so. This place could be a lot better than it is, that's for sure.

                          And to think that there has been people interested in purchasing this site and helping it grow into what it should be...

                            Photobucket, Imgur all make it that much easier.

                              It's extremely easy to post images on this site that are hosted on another. You can use the image function ([ IMG ] url [ /IMG ] without the spaces) to have them show up right in the thread too - so that you don't have to click a link.
