TV without a picture is not much use. Eh?

I can say if there is no picture or details (like price), I'm not interested. I figure if they don't post information and picture, then they aren't that interested in selling, so I'm not that interested in buying. This may sound harsh, and I'm sorry if anyone is offended, but you asked...

And PLEASE post the picture 'upright'. It is very hard to see an upside down or sideways table or sofa.

Very cheap digital cameras, like Vivitar for $15 at Wally world are adequate and should have very easy instructions to follow.

Or take a picture with your smart phone, email it to yourself, save it to your desktop, and follow the instructions to upload it onto the TV for sale site. No smart phone or digital camera? I bet one of your friends would have one or the other and be happy to oblige. It's a little extra effort to attract buyers.

Curious what if anything someone would buy without a picture these days?

Guess it depends on the item.

I guess I should preface that a picture-less photo ad is from a person who made their living as a salesman. Still have to work the potential sale.......

As a buyer, I resist having a salesperson attempt to influence my decisions. If there's a sucker born every minute, it means I have to work at not being one.
