You respond to somebody's WTB post for an item. And it's an item that a fair KLOV price is $25 or less plus shipping. And the first thing they want is pics.
Well, is it just me or do these WTB posters always seem to be the ones who never follow through? Off the top of my head, I'll bet that 95% of people who ask me for pics of cheap items don't buy or even respond. The item is exactly what I said it was and always better than described.
And the 5% who do follow through end up being like the guy I just sold two cheap items to. I quoted him the total with shipping, he Paypaled me and sent me a PM saying he added some extra for my time. HE ADDED AN EXTRA $1....Yes, a freaking dollar! Then tells me in a PM that he also needs a speaker and a grill cover and I could just throw that and anything else that would fit in the box in there.........stuff that we never discussed, figured a price on, or even extra shipping costs on. Geezzz!
Unless it's a game or cabinet, anything above about $50 I rarely get asked for a pic, it's sold and shipped, and the buyer is very happy. And I'll bet that 99.9% of what I post for sale here or respond to in a WTB that's worth $50 or more in KLOV dollars gets sold without a pic....and everybody is happy.
I guess that the point is you're not making anything off what you're selling to begin with when it comes to cheap stuff. It's mainly a matter of just helping someone out basically. But you take the time to take and post pics and they generally end up being tire kickers wasting your time.
