Do you ever wonder how people can post awful pictures of some dirty item and expect to sell it?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47127points) January 25th, 2018

I have an office chair I’m going to sell on Facebook. I took a few seconds to run a polishing rag over the chair and to make sure the lighting is good before I took the picture. Just took a few seconds. How come some people don’t do that? Do they not understand the negative impression their audience will have?

Laziness, lack of aesthetic sensibility, lack of empathy, thoughtlessness, lack of photographic skills, aversion to cleaning, lack of cleaning skills, lack of imagination, relationship to all their things as incurably crappy, so used to their stuff looking crappy that they don’t notice or think about it, and/or apathy.

I saw a photo of someone who was looking to sell candy underwear with the caption “Only worn once” in it…

They said they “Sprayed it with febreeze” after so it’s okay

probably was photoshopped though
