Pics are essential, what gets me is when people tell you to look in their album for pics
Put em on the advert you lazy tit
Saw one recently where peeps asked for pics, look at my olds ads was the response, do they not want customers ?

I just feel it needs to be cleaned up big style location,pic ,price not too much too ask nowadays .
you do have to wonder at what sort of person doesn`t access to even a modest mobile phone camera nowadays .

No pictures smacks of slobbish laziness to me

A basic layout when posting ads would help some people, one that prompts you to input information.

Temperement:
Feeding Regime:
Price:

Location:

Delivery/Collection/Courier/Meet/:

Dunno what else

i agree with the location, price and pics but sometimes it isnt possible to put pics on like if their photobucket is messing up (which happnes alot) or the have lost the cables for the cam to the comp.

the most annoying thing for me is the location i read through a post think hmm id like that when right at the bottom of the ad is their location and they are at the other end of the country, if there was a location in the title i wouldnt read it like others have said.

A form like that would be a great idea. That way nothing gets forgotten and you have a familiar pattern to the adds so buyers can find the info they need quickly. Come on mods, make it happen.

i think everyone should state their location. but the postcode distancefinder idea is a great one!
not everyone has cameras so the picture idea would mean those without cameras couldnt advertise and plus sometimes you get a right bargain if theres no photo becuase nobody can see how good it is!!

does my head in when there is no price and when asked by someone they PM them it, then someone else asks and the same happens and so on and so on

Why cant they just put the price in the add

I agree with wayne a form to input everything into would be great

I see your point, but some people like myself do not have a digital camera, and i cant link up my phone camera to my PC as its not very good.
I do manage to get pictures up by borrowing a friends camera from time to time, but when i cannot get hold of one I dont post pics.
Im far from a lazy keeper, i just have better things to shell out my money on then a decent camera
