What is it with Craigslist and picture quality. I rarely even check it unless referred by one of you guys, but I've never seen a picture there that even comes marginally close to good enough that one could make a buying decision on it.

Alot of eBAY sellers have the same problem but at least they seem to have the capability to post multiple excellent pictures if they desire to do so. :monkey:
I've noticed the same over here, most online for-sale ad lists, have lousy pictures, when most auction-sites have, in general, a much better description/photos.
Maybe the "forum" for a sale chosen, says something about how serious the sellers are?

Absolutely lovely machine by the way!
Allthough the condition stated above, is far from good, I just love the model!

George, thanks for the report, I think I'll pass. I do have the "stuff" to make this complete, but it's over four hours away from me and $1200 is a little steep for a machine needing that much attention, I'd say...

I guess I don't want one of these that badly either! ;)

Craigslist automatically reduces the size and quality of your picture when you upload it. I suppose because they are hosting it for free... but all you have to do is ask the seller for pics via e-mail if you're serious about it.

Of course... if it's a picture like the previous post, that's just unacceptable. :>

While I think that at this point there really isn’t much interest at the price the seller is asking, since I promised to post pictures when I received them, here they are.

At least 2 are gold. And 1 or more boxes of tungs-tone.
The price might be right after all.
