Take some pictures. I personally will not purchase anything from ebay without GOOD pictures.

yeah, pictures make a huge difference. i'm very hesitant to buy anything without pics because it makes me think the seller is either lying about the condition or it just looks horrible.

Agree. Ebay Listings Are Worthless Without Pics. And pictures of the ACTUAL item, NOT STOCK PHOTOS!

No pics, shoddy presentation, damaged PSU, incorrect specs ("Pentium 3" != "Pentium Mobile")

Oh, and you don't ship to Canada or I'd buy it for the mother-in-law. ;)

Your description is terrible. It looks like a 5 year old made that listing.

You don't even have any pictures of the item you are selling. Who would buy an item they have never seen, especially when they can go to 100 other auctions selling the same thing that actually SHOWS it.

1. Pictures
2. Lower starting bid
3. MORE INFO -- Put he IBM 7 digit code at the very least. Hell, go to the site and copy and paste the specs!!!
4. I sold a few IBM T2X laptops on eBay a few months ago, they sold quickly.

Like ATOT and dating sites, you need pictures. Seriously people, it's 2007, you should have a picture of everything so I no longer have to use my imagination to picture things.

You don't own electrical tape? Its $.50 at any hardware store or Walmart for that matter. I can understand the nick in the wire on a piece of used equipment. But the way you describe how you didn't spend a few cents to remedy the problem leads me to believe you don't really care about the item in question, and feel its not worth spending even the most paltry amount of money on.

Thats what I got out of your description. (And no pics, no clicks)

I added pictures to the listing and relisted, and it still didn't sell! I'm amazed. Absolutely amazed.

no warranty offered
no pics
wrap the damn adapter yourself -electrical tape is about $2-.. and explain that if they are not willing to use that one then they are really inexspensive on eBay
