sellers DO NOT clean the chrome they are selling.

Pieces for sale with dirt, grease, small rust pits etc.

All which would take about 5 minutes to polish off and make the piece look worth the $$$

Would these sellers go to buy a car and expect it to be grubby and grimy?

I  bought a complete exhaust system and the whole set was clean in the photos and on arrival at my house. That's the main reason I bought it. That and price of course.

And they give one or two pictures the pictures are fuzzy and they don't consider the market when pricing.  Saw this yesterday.

I have should have been more specific.

I meant the VRCC Classifieds but my comment does apply to ads placed elsewhere.

I agree.  People are either lazy or don't know how to sell.

I even try to wash my cars before taking them in for service.  I think that the techs realize that the owner is someone who cares so they, in turn, do a good job.

Have you ever seen the interior of some cars?  Full of Big Mac bags, coffee cups, spilled french fires, loose papers, etc.

My complaint about the classified adds is the number of people who do not put their city/state in either their add or their avatar.  A lot of things are big and heavy and going to be expensive to ship.  Some stuff might be within reasonable driving distance, but how would we know?  I'm not going to email/PM them to find out where the part(s) are.  I just move on.

I agree.

Also when there is not a price listed, to me that is telling me the seller knows he is asking too much but trying to "hook" a potential buyer.
It could very well be the seller just "forgot" to put the price there.
Regardless, I too just move on.

I M H O-state price wanted and whether or not it's negotiable and whether or not it includes shipping. I've noticed some of the ads have pictures and the imperfections are pointed out. Something like an 8 out of 10 MAY help. Found out here honesty IS the best policy-ya never know-you might share wind with your customer!  2funny   Roll Eyes  Up to this point in time I've NEVER been burned.  cooldude And as shy and retiring as I am-I couldn't tell anyone here bout a bad deal!  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes RIDE SAFE

One thing that squeezes my grape about the Classifieds here, I see where someone will post they are Looking to buy an item and three posts below theirs is the item they are looking for. Seems they don't look before they post uglystupid2

Squeezes your grape ?  Grin never heard that one before. It might be that they didn't look before posting, but it might also be that they couldn't come to an agreed price. You southern boys sure have some funny sayings though  cooldude
