maybe people do buy things they haven't seen pictured, but a lot of times when they get the item and it's not what they were described, or when they go to see it and spend time and gas and it's not what it was described that person can get irritated or upset. yes it IS their fault for not demanding pictures, but when they come back to this forum and start bitching about it it's the mods who have to deal with it. The rule makes sense. and the "I don't have a camera" argument is pretty much invalid at this point in time.

I'm not saying that's an argument you use, I get you were probably just playing devils advocate, but even if someone doesn't have a camera, I'm sure they have a friend or or family member who has a camera phone at the very least. If you really want to get something sold you can manage to get a couple pictures of it.


And please understand, I'm not attacking you or trying to be a dick. Just having a civil discussion on differing points of view.
