			<description><![CDATA[ Let me get this straight-- nowadays not owning a digital camera and not automatically providing rod photos on this Forum is akin to wearing a soft helmet and
goggles in an open cockpit bi-plane?!

So what&#39;s your point again?

			<description><![CDATA[ Re-read oneculm&#39;s initial post, please.
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t know why it&#39;s so hard to figure out that everyone in the universe doesn&#39;t automatically own a digital camera.
<br>
And that&#39;s just one reason why.

like.........yes...thats right.......what does the rod look like.....I am not the expert on cane rods as some of you here are and quite often am not familiar

Dave, you and I are definitely in the &quot;OF&quot; class; which I wear with a badge of honor! You know I would buy from you sight unseen, but lets face it,
if I didn&#39;t know you, I wouldn&#39;t. It&#39;s simply a matter of marketing in todays e-world. Every time I try to sell something without pics, it fails
miserably. Take a few glitzey pics, and, BINGO, top $ for quality... ]]></description>

one time because I did not get any pictures.  Sure, if I am buying an item from some one that I have dealt with before and know and trust, no problem.  The
fact is, If I am going to sell an item on line for $1000.00 or what ever amount, I can certainly take a few minuets to take a picture.  Look at yabe, just

			<description><![CDATA[ Even with our generous return policy - sending a classic cane rod across the country via UPS or USPS is still not a fun experience. I worry the entire time a
rod is in transit - inbound or outbound. Good pictures are simply one more step in trying to avoid a transaction that ends up being nullified and causing the
rod to make a couple of unnecessary and dangerous journeys. Not to say that even with pictures - some rods don&#39;t pass a picky buyer&#39;s close inspection
- but they sure help.... ]]></description>

problems on eb*y by looking at pics closely. (although I very seldom purchase rods or reels there anymore with the proliferation of fakes and frauds)  If I
personally knew the individual it probably wouldn&#39;t matter or if I had bought something from them before (so far I have only bought one reel on the forum).

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey Dave:
<br>
<br>
It&#39;s a wonder Marty Keane; Carmine Lisella; Bill McRoy; Jim Adams et al have been able to sell all those rods over all those years mostly <strong>without
photos</strong> isn&#39;t it?!
<br>
<br>
As an addendum to your post, it doesn&#39;t seem to matter if you do your best to post photos anyway. Someone will always ask for more photos; better
&quot;close-ups&quot; etc. And then when you send them what they ask for, many times you don&#39;t even get a response.
