[rovemele-zmdmfp]

selling a vintage jewelry box all photos are up with the key of box hanging there but yet buyer ask if they pls can see a photo of both side of key  is it just me or are you thinking the same

[hartungcards]

Do you want to sell this thing?  Then take a picture of both sides of the key.

[donsdetour]

May be needs a key for their item;

Always a few strange questions:

Hey they might buy it: doubt such but never know;

send em a photo.

[ckimodog]

I would send them the pictures...it just may sell.

[hartungcards]

That sounds like a lot of work and expense just to make a sale.

of course when push comes to shove, one can never be sure, but it has been my experience that the stranger the request/questions the individual has, the more likely I'm never going to hear from them again. Like I say, one never knows, and I have always jumped through the perspective buyer's hoops, but just saying...

The result of reading too many horror stories on these forums.

OP is now selling on egg shells.

[rovemele-zmdmfp]

so true been there as well  so dont feel like jumping this time iljust wait for another buyer 

[hartungcards]

I hope you have a good book to read.

[rovemele-zmdmfp]

yep did just that dont need that buyer other will come  no rush thanks for input 

[wrong66]

You might not last long on eBay with that kind of thinking. It's hard to sell being paranoid. Never in my wildest dreams would I block somebody because they asked to see additional photos of my item. If I ever get that paranoid, then I have no business selling.

[hartungcards]

It seems like quite a few people have no business lately.  Oh, wait.......

[rovemele-zmdmfp]

true but been in sales over 40 yr so nothing new been there done that thank for the input
