As a seller, and buyer here on PT.Net....I can clearly see that this discussion could probably go on for months and possibly years with no clear cut winner.

As a self-admitted "Low Tech" kinda guy, posting pictures causes me alot of extra work and makes me want to throw my camera in the road and run over it sometimes. This is exactly why whenever someone becomes seriously intrested in something I'm buying, I offer them my home phone and work phone and suggest they call me and talk to me about it. It offers a personal touch and a one-on-one discussion that explains how I do business and why I do it the way I do. Usually at the end of the conversation people find that I'm for real and the transaction has been a good one.....even without pictures.

But sadly, theres no escaping the rip-off artist that lurks around every forum and website looking to screw someone. But you'll find that the majority of us on here are good people that are respectful of others and we all hate to see someone get ripped off here. We kinda take that personally and we all try to chip in and find the scammer.
