Just wondering. I am selling my Titaniums (STILL) for less then half of what I got them for, and I still can't sell them. I do have no pics. I didn't manage to sell my rims because I have no pics. Do pics really make that huge of a difference? I am guessing yes. With something like rims & tires I can see why they would, but with subs and a box is it make-it-or-break-it?

Pictures do actually make the difference imo. even though the picture can be a fake it gives some a sense of reassurance and others to see what they're lookin at persay. Also a proof that it exhists even though it could be a fake pic. I dunno its odd but IMO it makes the difference.

Maybe I am running into the "too-good-to-be-true" realm. Two Titanium 12Ds, in box, for $375? sounds bogus to me.

I'd rather buy something I can see.

Ya pics make a big difference IMO. They don't always ensure you get what you pay for but it definately helps.

I would say the safest way is to take a pic of you with the subs. If someone is serious about them, then they can ask you to do something specific, take another pic of you, that specific thing (like you putting up 2 fingers or a note etc) and post that too.

I just got scammed so next time I buy online I'm going to go though every precaution possible.

Invest in a cheap $30 webcam.. it'll work better than nothing and probably help you sell stuff online.. and if the buyer doesn't believe you, then there is always the option of MSN webchat with him to prove it.
