I have been reading here about lousy pictures. Could you guys AND gals post some lousy pictures. I started off with what is basically what they call a Spy cam? Got it,,,,,FREE???? with the internet service when I signed up March 2000. I never had any trouble with that cams pictures and by most I figure that's bottom of the barrel cam. Then I got a portable intel,,,cause I wanted to MOVE.....about....go to the swaps and sell BIGGER things. I feel it takes GREAT pics.....No one has ever complained.

I wanna see these lousy steal it cause the pictures are so crappy photos. Period! Thanks!

I just found this on ebay while doing some research on a widget. Now I don't know if the price is a steal or not but what do you think of the pic?

It doesn't look like a terrible picture at first glance, but it is if you're a Barbie collector. It shows none of the things Barbie collectors are interested in (face makeup, body condition nekkid) close-up enough to decide. Some will take time to ask questions, most will click on the next auction.

Ok, so why is it when I look at the pictures on my computer, they look dark and I can't really make them out. Especially in kiara's link. But when I go to my husband's computer and look at them, they are clear as day? The pictures in kiara's link were very clear and I could see them easily.

I have the brightness on my monitor all the way up, and it's less than 5 yrs old. Do I have something set wrong? I always lighten up my pictures, am I washing them out? Do all my pictures end up looking faded to you guys? They didn't seem bad on DH's computer...

I can't figure this out. Maybe those people taking the bad pics are seeing them as good pics on their computers.

I always think the ones who do clothes all rumpled up and smooshed together on a bed or a door look awful. And they sell the stuff too!!

Hmmm.... I see what you mean, deltim. On my ViewSonic (about 2 yrs old) it looks very dark but it looks fine on my Dell Trinitron. I haven't checked the settings to see if they match on both computers.

Good score, toasted! Also, his title was all squished together so it may not have shown up in a search? Are you going to keep them or resell them the correct way?

Toasted, that's an excellent example of what not to do in a picture. Thanks for showing it. Too bad there isn't a tutorial somewhere to show new sellers what NOT to do. Of course, then we'd have more competition, wouldn't we!
