So apparently most sellers on FB marketplace don’t bother to clean their stuff… Not even to remove the dust. A simple wipe with a dry cloth or brush would at least make it look presentable. $15000 for a dirty camera. It’s hardly a bargain.

I’m continually amazed by 2nd hand camera gear sellers on FB Marketplace and the really terrible photos they post of the cameras they’re ostensibly selling.

The bodies are:

  • covered in dust or grime
  • (if they have screens) turned off
  • out of focus

It’s like no one can bother.

Please at least look like you care! You’ll find more customers that way! And better prices! After how long does it take to polish a small camera body, huh?

But I know I’m preaching to the converted… !!! ??

Last night I was scrolling through memory lane when I came across something someone was selling. Kitchen equipment with a cockroach lying on the surface, right in full view. They didn’t even take time to clean the gadget or remove the roach … Uploaded! Of course, it sold. But majorly GROSS!!!
