...that someone has multiples of, do you prefer to see the actual item you are buying, or is one pic for all of them okay?
The reason I am asking is because I am setting up a webstore on my site, and have many things that I have more than one of. For example, let's say I have 10 manuals of the same game. All are complete and perfectly useable. However, one or two might have some spotting or a water stain on the cover (but not inside), or might be creased from years of being stored in a bent shape inside a cab while others are flat. Would it be best to post 10 pics of 10 manuals, or just post one pic and list "Number in Stock: 10"?
Right now, I'm thinking to just take a pic of each manual and letting people choose which they want "for those who think they have to have a minty manual for their minty game". My site will let you add it to your cart and checkout, and I have a method of identification that will ensure you get the exact one you choose, so you'd get what you see.
Just not sure whether anyone would care, or whether it would be a pain for someone browsing manuals to have to slog thru 20 of one title before getting the next title, although I could just have the game title categories, with the individual manuals for that title on a sub-menu.
What do y'all prefer?
