Terrible photos in the classifieds

[FRA53R]

After seeing this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3514477.htm I was wondering what other disasterous photographs you guys have seen in the classifieds.

Are they pictures of the camera viewfinder? Awesome.

And it's the lesser spotted "Bmw 3.25i Sport (1991)"

I can only assume he took the pictures with a camera, realised he couldn't transfer them to the PC so just scrolled through them on the cameras display and took pictures of that using his phone.

Amazing inginuity, dreadful outcome.

Yep, which makes it all the more impressive that he couldn't get them the right way up.

Epic fail........

Why not just go and take the pictutres again using his phone...the quality may have not been the best but it would have been better than that outcome.

From the very brief decription of the car it does not sound like a total stter that the pictures imply that it is.

honestly if your trying to sell a ferrari... you really should put in more effort!!
I can only assume that they havent actually got the car (yet)

Look at the date on the viewfinder. i think it was a video taken ages ago when the car was in good condition. hes taken photos of video clips i think. maybe the car is a rust bucket at present

Ouch that's poor, certainly wouldn't encourage me to part with nearly 13 grand.

£4,500 for that beemer? Is he for real? 325's were cheaper 3 years ago. Why should that demand such a high price?

The photo's are turely awful.

Quote - "Why buy from us? 32 years experience of car sales and service including 4wd"

Does make you wonder how they have survived if that what 32 years worth of experience has taught.

Good point I hadn't noticed that. I get the feeling it won't sell quickly.

The ferrari one looks like it belongs to an old man who has no idea of how technology works, so he tried feeding the photos into the computer through the cd drive.

And it almost worked.

I dont get this one at all, he has the picture on his screen, but rather then just right click and save as, he takes a pic with his phone (at a guess) and then transfers that to his pc to use, nit once, but twice.

Haha tempting to ask him whether he does wedding photos as well!

Not just the quality of the shot (or lack of it) that I find amazing considering the availability of good, cheapish equipment these days but the composition, whether it's here or on Autotrader. For instance, I assume that people who advertise a car actually want to sell it. Then why park it in a large puddle in what appears to be a scrap yard? And interior shots that cut off the lower part of the drivers seat bolster. Is it just a bad photo or is the seat torn up. If you want to sell it at least make the pictures look nice, for goodness sake.

he also has this for sale:

and this. Which correct me if I'm wrong, but is also a picture of a picture on a monitor? How the fk can someone exist in business for 32 years with this level of attention to detail?

[Dr Interceptor]

Nowhere near as bad as the above... but photos like this really annoy me...

Quite clearly just walked out and taken a few snaps. Not cleaned it, not presented it at all, plus the interior one seems to be taken at night so you can see fk all.

0/10 no effort.
