I want to sell my car but dont want to tell u about it/show u a decent picture thread

murphyebass · 17-02-2011 3:17pm #1

I was just looking on donedeal for old mercs. Was just wondering how much you could get an old one for. More out of curiosity than anything else.

But whilst looking I came across a number of rubbish ad's with either screw all pictures or info.

I really just do not get it. Why bother putting it up in the first place.

Anyway heres a thread devoted to that very idea. First one up is a Merc I found a minute ago where the person decided to take pictures in the dark. Yes in the dark. Clever I know.

Any others that deserve to be imortalised on the wall of shame that is this thread??

I remember that used to happen years ago before digital pictures as you couldnt see what you had just taken.

I love this one as if it was digital he would have seen his mistake and gone ah sure its grand.
