pictures plus price for the item should always be posted in a for sale thread.
Of course people can always PM to barter on price but if no price is put in the original thread it can also lead to people who do not know the exact value of the for sale item being ripped off by the seller. one of the best things about buying and selling on an online community is that people can also advise you if the price you are selling/buying at is reasonable.
As for no pictures, it's just plain lazy. I've seen it a lot on here recently and tbh it's just people using the forum for personal gain and putting nothing back into it. sorry but, **** off to ebay and pay fee's like everyone else if that's all your here for.
