    This has nothing to do with contributions mate, its just about how some things work. If we are talking about Perci then he has the runs on the board. I too have asked him for photos, but when others to not worry about I took their advice let it be and have been happy with each and every one of my purchases from Perci.

    100% of your Ozgolf "For Sale" threads contain no photos......

    You are always free to ask for Pics, as are sellers to provide them, or not, as they see fit. Which would you prefer? A money back guarantee, if you aren't satisfied from a long term and respected seller, or rely solely on pictures and description? I know what I do, buy the goods whilst other are thinking about it!

    I know that the only issues I have ever had with Ozgolf purchases, you would never have picked up with pictures.

    This.

    Yes, photos make it more likely your stuff will sell and less wasted time later taking them (or not) for people who ask for them. But I don't personally think we should make it mandatory. There are some very good sellers here who don't do pics, and I don't see any compelling reason to try and force them to.

    really not sure how Perci go brought into this, I have bought off him and not a $50 purchase either, very happy with the transaction so nothing to do with Perci, like I said Jack, well done, all 2 of them for a 50% strike ratio, so, not sure how long I have to be here but maybe I need 8000 posts to have a voice without the rebuttal being reasonably personal. Point taken.

    Perci is the king of no pic sales.

    Stating that pics should be mandatory automatically brings him into it, along with 3-1 and TNO.

    Stating that pics should be mandatory directly affects 3 of OzGolf's biggest sellers as they don't use pics.

    True for me. Sometimes i use pics on lower condition items but i rarely have any to sell anyway or price them low. On irons i do pics but that's been about 3 sales in 6 years. Mandatory pics i'd probably set up a chain PM thing with about a dozen to 20 odd members and ebay more as well. Won't happen tho.

    Peace brothers


    Whatever, nothing is selling unless you give it away anyway, which really makes it less appealing to take pics

    It would be nice to have pics for all, but if something is mint or near new, do you really need to see a pic if the seller is reputable?

    I recently bought some irons from PTP without pics. He rated them a 9/10 which was good enough for me.

    If I wasn't 100% sure of the seller, I probably wouldn't have bought them to begin with and certainly not without pics.

    Once you play a game with an OZgolfer or two, in four hours, there is enough banter to get a good idea about the reputable sellers here. (You will probably see a Perci, 3oneday or TNO club in their bag also.)

    I also like to acknowledge (in the For Sale thread) that I received the product and it met/exceeded the condition stated, to help the next prospective buyer (if they are prepared to do some background checking).

    Lucky it wasn’t me who decided to share an opinion on how betterment could be useful to others. I do like the fact that some who never or seldom use the Pro Shop have such strong views.
    In Oldracers first post he used should and I have read his posts with the understanding that his views are about improving the Ozgolf experience and in his words for new users. It takes some time to understand who is who in this place!

    If it ain't broken....

    I don't have a problem in principle with "Newbies" being required to post pics, perhaps with a trade off on number of posts required to post in the Pro Shop or similar. But I am told that this can't be automated via the forum software, and I am totally against anything that requires extra work or intervention by the Mods, they have enough to do.

    We also seem to be forgetting the different technologies in use, and the various media options that users use these days. Loading pics and even posting via Smartphone presents different challenges, some are masters, others less so..... . Then there is the fact that some much prefer to share photos via SMS or email.

    I think the base premise that pictures improve For Sales threads for some is a valid point, and personally I agree that for the vast majority they should be encouraged, but "Mandatory" is a bit too prescriptive imo. Especially when we have some long established, high volume and respected sellers who mostly prefer to provide a condition guarantee, which imo is better than pictures anyday.

    True, I may have had more interest in those S56's if the guy had been more responsive AND posted pics. Mainly cause I have no idea who he is.

    Is it wrong to assume that everyone reads the Pro Shop Guidelines?
    http://www.ozgolf.net/showthread.php...EAD-THIS-FIRST!

    I think it is clear that the majority do not want the pictures to be mandatory, however they are recommended, as stated in the guidelines.
    2. Please include all relevant information on the items you are selling. Clubs should include brand, shaft make and flex, loft (if appropriate) and condition. Be truthful in your appraisal. Make sure you would be happy to purchase the item at the rating you give it (We know this can be subjective, but be truthful). Photos while not required are definitely recommended. Please use your own photos of the item, and not a generic one off the internet. Try and make sure the photos are clear and in focus.
