Seller honesty and courtesy Options

[dgbldr]

Some of my recent experience here prompts me to offer the following advice:

1. Honesty

If you advertise something for sale, be honest with the description. I just bought something described as being "in great condition" and it's really just barely passable. And I'm being charitable. Pictures are not always helpful, depending on the item. Be honest and realistic. The buyer is neither blind nor stupid.

2. Courtesy

If you post an item for sale or wanted, have the courtesy of returning PMs. I don't mean you have to respond in 2 minutes, but if you don't respond in a week, or ever, that's just rude. If you don't want to respond to PMs, state so in your ad.

Let's try to all behave like adults. Thanks.

There are a couple things I'd do here. First, I'd ask for detailed photos before handing over any money. And second, I'd leave honest feedback...if it doesn't arrive as promised, let everyone know by saying that when leaving feedback.
