I NEED PICS

[JAMMIN]

Is it me or is a post to sell, trade, or buy just not worth it unless you can see the gun? I wish more people would take the time and snap a pic to show you the gun. Everyone has a digital camera and obviously a computer so take a pic and show your product. Its hard to want to drive 1-3 hrs in any direction without seeing what it looks like. Just an observation.

I agree- unless...

unless it's something very specific.

Like when somebody says:

FS- Glock 26, 3rd gen, born in 2007, NEW in box, never fired, newer slick paint over tennifer finish. Copper grease still in place. FTF only. Plus if they are a reputable NESer.

Anyone know of a deal like that?

EDIT: I just found out that such deals are being scrutinized by the AG. At first, I thought it would be cool to have newer Glock. I just heard that people are being busted for this. Having a new Glock is not worth losing you LTC or ending up in jail!!!

EDIT EDIT: That can't be true. From what everybody says here, the dealer that told me that is trying to scare me into getting one of his guns instead.


I think that if it's a person who is on this forum and they make an accurate verbal description, it's worth the ride.

Some people say that the best buys were from people on this forum.

Perception, you can rap it up in 24kt Gold words but when I get there it should look like it sounds.

Jammin,
If it is a "commodity" gun, like a glock and the description is thorough AND the price is fair, it will sell very fast.
New guys would definately benefit from a couple of decent photos.
OTOH, poor quality photos are worse than none.

I have bought and sold a few. both with and without photos. A good description, good price, and someone that I "know" from the forum is enough for me.

Be assured that anyone misrepresenting a firearm would not last very long on NES.

+1 on the NES reputation but pics are nice to.

I bought my 4 year old a Fisher Price digital camera for Christmas for $50.

IMO pics are worth a lot and adds a lot of credibality to your sale.

I put a want ad out for a SW638 last spring. A reputable NES'er responded saying he had one in new condition. No pictures, but the gun turned out exactly like he said.

I think it would be nice if all the posters put what town they were in not So. NH or SE MA. Sometimes they are 50 miles farther from where you thought they were.

Ditto for me on a Sig 239. One of my best buys.

It did have pix though.
