I'm selling my second PS3, nothing special I made a $240 profit, I'm browsing for PS3 when I spot that the same item I just sold for $840 is selling for $1,100, I though to myself "are they given them away with games?" or free shipping or some kind of promotion because there in no way an item I sold just now is selling with nothing more than what I offer, in faq shipping was $30 more....was it well presented? NO, it had no mare than 4 sentences, mine had picture almost 3 pages worth of words and specs even videos ....so why it sold? the picture. What  was so big about the picture? it had a girl, a half naked one in faq posing every part of her body next to the PS3 most of the 8 pictures where just close up of  her bottom end next to the PS3. I guess the winner though it came with the PS3 or something because it sold an average of $400 more than the others.

I though about doing it my self and by asking my girlfriend to pose for my next item but I know she will not agree nor will I ask such an honest and respectfully person to do it......so I just ask my causing an man did the PS3 sell, I made $300 more than usual.

But it does not need to be about a girl showing herself in the camera, put something cute or masculine around it, anything that grabs attention...On my 3rd PS3 I had my sisters 1 year old daughter next to the PS3 with her shirt saying buy from M16_u3_lj5 and it had more views than the one that had my cousin posing for the PS3, the buyer himself complemented me saying that she wishes she was able to have such a beautiful girl...I did not say it was not mine I just thanked her compliment.

Tips for picture
  • The seller that spent the time to come up with creative picture will gather more attention therefore more customer.
  • Never have a picture that can lead you to someone to make fun of you......they will
  • Don't show a picture that displays the way you live it might offend someone.
  • Daylight is better than electricity light for better picture
