This is for the local guys out there. I have a red (brillantrot?) e30 4-door Manual for sale. Its a bit beat up but it runs and drives. It will need new bumpers.

I have no pictures so this is really for the local guys, $500 firm. PM me.

it takes two minutes to post pictures. Not trying to give you a hard time but you're not helping yourself to sell this car. being "banged around a few times" can mean anything from a bunch of shopping cart dents to a bunch of guardrail sideswipes.

Sorry guys, there will be no pics posted. I don't have the time to get a camera, upload and post pics. Its $500 car.

I understand the usefulness of pics however if you live too far to shoot over to check out the car then maybe its not for you.

Well I'm disappointed that you won't post pics of a "$500 car" because my "$300 car" was in nearly immaculate condition when I bought it, so you really aren't convincing anyone who lives a bit farther away to come and take a look at it. People have been known to drive to other states to pick up E30's, so I suggest you open up about those pics because as they say, a picture's worth a thousand words.

I might know someone who could be interested, but no way in hell I'm gonna send them or drive them up to Brooklyn just to look at a car that may or may not look like sh*t. I ask you to please reconsider.

I don't need to convince anyone. The point being is THERE WILL BE NO PICS POSTED. So if it is not worth it for whoever to come check out the car because of distance (I completely understand) then keep it moving.

There are plenty of ppl in the Brooklyn/Queens area that frequent this sub-forum.

Like I said before, this geared toward locals, people who are within 20 mins away. I'm sorry if this is upsetting to you but it is what it is. I don't really understand what the problem is. If its not something you are interested because there are no pics then that sucks.

I don't know why people are making such a big deal out of the no pictures posted. Just go look, it's a $500 dollar car you either buy it or you don't. You spend $20 in gas at most and head to BK and look.

I have a $1000 car for sale and it's a pain the ass. Most people pay more for sales tax registering a newer vehicle than this thing will cost. Winter beater!!!!!

Sorry, it's a bit ridiculous when people post things for sale and won't post pics. You claim you don't have the time to post pics yet you've spent more time telling us you won't post them because you don't have the time than it would take to post the actual pics!

I mean, the price of the car has no bearing on whether you should post pics or not. People sell stuff worth $5 and post pics! It's not hard. Take some pics of what you're trying to sell then post them.

If you feel your time is not worth posting pics why should I waste my time going to you to look at your car?

Just never ceases to amaze me when people refuse to post a pic of what they're trying to sell...

it also never ceases to amaze me when guys on the forum complain about no pics for stuff like this.

I said in my post that if this is not something you can spare 15 mins to come check out (as in you live within 20 minutes) then its probably not worth it to you. I don't understand what the butt hurt is all about.

For instance, MikeVance (sorry Mike for using you as an example) and yourself list in your location that you live NJ. I have already stated that there are no pics and if you don't want to check it out, thats cool. It would obviously be a bit inconvenient for you to come see the car since you live so far away, again I understand. What is starting to get annoying is it seems like if you guys don't get what you want, all you do is complain. If it was a 10k car... hell even a 2k car I probably would care a bit more and post some pics but guys honestly... its a $500 car! I understand that some of you members out there go through great lengths to post pics and describe your items. That is awesome, really it is. However I personally I am posting off a very old laptop in my shop, I do not own a digital camera, I have to run a shop all day, and try to fit my personal life in somewhere.

Again, price has absolutely no bearing on whether you should post pics or not. If it were $5 you should still post pics. Hell, take a pic with your phone for crying out loud!

If you lived somewhere that was easy to get to (i.e. NOT in a city environment), it may make more sense but, if someone from NJ (for instance) was interested, it's not like 20 minutes away. I have a friend who might be interested if he knew what he'd be going over to look at. He said, and I quote, "If the guy is too lazy to post pics, I'm not gonna go all the way over there to look."

Now, he's not looking for a $10k car. Just something cheap which runs.

Posting pics isn't hard.

I am really not trying to be rude but... is reading a problem for you? Like I said PREVIOUSLY, I am located in Queens/Brooklyn. If you live anywhere outside of the 2 boroughs and is inconvenient for you to come see the car then its probably not for you. I'm sure there are a ton of people out of state who would be interested but the simple fact is that there are going to be no pics posted. Its not being lazy or not, I don't have a camera on my phone nor do I currently own a digital camera or have a computer fast enough to upload them. Why would I waste my time which I don't really have to go through the trouble of posting pics when I know this will sell without them to someone local who can spare 15 mins to come look at the car????????????

It does make a difference whether or not it is a high priced item or something that I know will sell quick. Obviously it would take someone much more of an investment in their time and money if its an item with a high value. This is not the case with this car.

The car is tentatively sold to someone local as of this post.

Good for you for selling.

Here's (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1303525) an example (in this very area) of someone posting pics for some FREE stuff.

Nobody is so busy they can't snap a pic or two and post them. If you don't have a camera, I'm sure a friend does. It's not hard, really. You are being lazy, plain and simple. I'm glad you sold it (tentatively) but you're still being lazy...

How does that prove anything? He is motivated to get rid of his stuff without having to throw it out so he posts a pic. That is great for him and it certainly helps him meet his goals.

I on the other hand am not posting a pic and am still meeting my goal of selling the car. Therefore I saved time without having to bother someone to take a picture and using more time to post it up. The only person to have a real problem with this it seems is you. Why would I go through unnecessary work when I don't have to?

EddieH

A lot people have a lot of B.S. to say on the forums. It goes with the territory since there are no repercussions for being annoying or obnoxious through a computer.

I'm sure a lot of people who are whining about pics have no intention of buying the car or are too far away for me to really care to offer them the car. Within a couple hours of me posting the car up, I had a few people contact me locally which is what I listed was preferred. Obviously if you lived out of state and you really wanted the car and didn't care about potentially wasting time then that was their prerogative.

I don't see how I am being lazy when I still sold the car... Like I said I am not here to cater to you or anyone else who wants to jump on the "post pics" bandwagon when its not putting money in my pocket.
