Also... it's 2013, listing items for sale on the internet WITHOUT a picture, just blows my mind.
I can see listing without pictures. My camera takes fairly high res pictures that are generally too big to add as an attachment on message boards. If I was unfamiliar with image hosting sites that will appropriately scale a picture down, then it would be acceptable to request an email for pictures/etc.

Listing without locations or prices, however, is a bit useless.

If you download Irfanview (free), you can re-size your own photos; it's quite easy. :D

I'm sorry, but if you are trying to sell a piece of tech gear to a tech buyer, it is reasonable for you to learn how to resize photos. It is also reasonable to list FOB, price, and any other information that is pertinent to the sale.

I had an uncle who was a baker. Couldn't raise enough dough so he went on the loaf.
 
But he could resize a picture. ;)

I know it's not a difficult concept, but you do have to remember we're referring to people who don't know where their gear is actually located....

resizing an image (or even hosting an image on something like imageshack) may be a rather difficult concept for someone struggling with their own location.

If you're using windows you can do it with Windows Paint.
