Used instrument sales rant

Post by BopEuph »

The first picture of an instrument for sale should NEVER be of just the case. Whether the case is empty or it's closed and the instrument is hiding inside of it, the case is usually the least of the interest.

That is all.

If you see a Willson 2900, serial W2177, it's been missing for a long time. Help me bring it home.

I disagree. Based on my experience only, I would need to know if cat(s) had access to the horn, case. Because I don’t think there’s lodged packing peanuts clogging the horn. Also, when posting pictures, please wear pants. Ufdah!

Sometimes it seems the facebook ads decide for themselves the order of pics
