I am busy moving and many of these items are not in a place I can easily get to them to take a picture. I don't want to waste my time on people who won't bother to PM me so I know they are serious. The items are real in reasonable shape.
Again I don't want to spend ½ hour researching a reasonable pricec if all the cheapskates are looking for a stupid person who sells $1000 items for $50.
Sorry if I offended you.
I am very busy and if I was retired and had nothing better to do I would do a better job.
I have already given prices and pictures to serious inquiries.

In a month or so I will separately market these items properly.

Oh... well, now you know how we feel about people who won't bother to post a photo, so we know they're serious. :coffee:

I don't want to seem rough, but also for us (including you, bkasindorf) it is an additional safety to post photos of machines for sale, herein publicly, not only privately. As you might understand, as a member of the forum, you're more safe if you start the negotiation publicly, then continue and close the deal privately. The machines photos must be posted herein, for everyone to watch them... This is especially helpful if you're a new forum member, without any background or past experience with the older forum members.
This said, we also love to see a well publicised machine for sale, with status and characteristics well described, and photos of general aspect and relevant details. If you were a potential buyer and not only a seller, you'd realize our point of view... Life is long and takes many turns... and some day you could be an interested buyer in turn. Don't treat us roughly only because you're very busy (many of us are) and want to sell fast. Take yourself a turn to the buyer's side and be patient and keen, such as you'd want the seller to be if you were a buyer.... Just my two cents!
