Auction Photos...More Than One View...

[Pete Ebbink]

Good photo essay on the value of asking for a lot more photos of a gun that is for sale/auction on the Internet...especially if only a 1-sided photo is shown in the ad...

One side of this pistol looks fairly decent...but the other side tells a totally different story...

Before you bid; ask for many photos and a thorough condition-statement regarding the gun.

With these in your file and if the gun is a big disappointment, you have more documentation with which to convince the seller to return your money as well as pay for or at least share the shipping costs to get the gun back to the seller...

I have sent many an Internet seller a request for more photos, detailed condition-description, and a host of questions to boot. If I get no reply, in writing, I will pass on the sale... altogether...
