Or when the picture is so dark, or so small, that you almost can't SEE the item you're supposed to be bidding on. Why bother? Of course, IMHO, even a bad picture is worse than NO picture at all... most of the time...
And if you're happy with scaring off bidders by your auction terms, then obviously you're more interested in selling at YOUR terms than in getting the highest bid possible. Nothing wrong with that -- I can respect that!
My bad, looks like I misunderstood you. Oh yes, I see bad pictures all the time. I espically like the ones taken with cheap cameras that are meant to be used as webcams. The ones that have the colors all out of whack - i.e. everything has a red or green tint to it. LOL.
Most of my items are small and the bidding goes in $0.50 or $0.25 incriments. The way I see it, getting an extra $0.50 on the ending bid price really inst worth it if I have to extract the payment out of people. If I was selling cars or something where another couple bids might mean several hundred additional bucks, I would probably be much more of a suckup.
I guess everyone has thier own selling style - some people are after the all mighty dollar and are willing to work for it. Call me lazy - I just wanna cash the checks and be done with it.
