Pet peeve of mine: list your damn location so we can figure out if it can be a FTF or have to go through FFL. And saying "Texas" isn't being very specific.

I don't have to sell it, but...

Make up your mind!

Car forum classifieds seem to be the worst for those two.

Guys will price it thousands of dollars over what a realistic price is and hope they find that sucker to bite.

I always try to provide good pictures, always try to focus on any perceived blemish/wear etc. and usually simply say that I am happy to provide any additional specific pics as requested (down the barrel if I can, broken down, whatever.)

I just try to present an honest group of decent pictures so the buyer can decide on the condition.

All my stuff is basically LNIB though.

That's another one: looks like any other XXXX pistol, Google it if you want pictures.

Minty. My all time favorite description.

Is it MINT or sort of mint? Isn't mint also a flavor?

I bought a revolver from someone I new online for many years. , so I trusted their description, no photos. "Bluing is 85%".

The RE-BLUING, over the pitting that covered 75% of the gun, was 85%. And the only reason it was up to 85% was that they'ed blued the hammer and trigger. Those extra blued parts that shouldn't be blued brought to 85%. With friends like that...

Seriously.

With the way I take gun photos (the gun laying on my back porch, in indirect sunlight, with the photo taken from above) my toes are in nearly every shot I take. But it takes literally two clicks on my smartphone to crop them out before I upload them to my image hosting account.

No excuse.
