Pictures of Clubs For Sale - Pet Peeves

[J.Bex]

OP was meant as tongue in cheek with panties in a twist.  But yes I'd still buy the club, despite the foot pics, seeing enough of the club's condition.

 

At least it makes for a fun discussion and maybe bring awareness to sellers.  Though I could see people doubling down and posting more feet... In that case no plumber's crack please 🙏 🤣

LMAO 🤣 thanks.

I'm only looking at that thin topline and little offset!

🤣 still a better pic than some that don't show tip condition or length!

I have unattractive feet. They’re long and have what some have said to be fingers rather than toes on them.  I actually hate seeing feet (bare or with shoes) in club pics but I could not resist the urge to be a smart Word not allowed. 
 

Plus any chance I get to show off the MP4s I’ll take it.

Plumber's crack...would that putter even be functional?

That is a fantastic top line.

I’m often confused on why sellers take crappy pictures. The one that gets me are the pictures of the clubs right after they played a round of golf with them. Still have grass stains, mud on the bottoms and so times the faces. The other ones where there are only a couple pictures and the ones the post are blurry. I guess some sellers don’t want to sell their clubs.

Couldn't find a past thread so here goes, regarding pics on the bay or other [Edit: And yes panties are in a twist over picture taking standards 😉]:

 

- FEET in the picture.  No one wants to see your gnarly *$$ feet.  Crop or do it again for the love of golf.

 

- Top view that's not squared up (or no top view at all).  I know some people hood the club at address like crazy, but let's see a nice neutral head in address position. 

 

- Just a short section of a shaft.  Let's see if the whole shaft looks good or is distracting.

 

- Not showing all around the clubhead... What dent/scratch are you hiding, or are you just lazy?

 

- One or two pics.  Really?

 

- Next to tape measure or ruler that's not at any real club measuring position.  Well at least you're trying.  A- for effort.

 

What you got?

 

Who cares.

 

I go there for the articles.

Feet/shoe in pics greatly appreciated. You can tell alot about someone by that. 
Also by the gnarly dirty a** floors and carpets in folk's abodes. 
All that can influence veracity and accuracy of post and comments.

 Does the foot come with the irons?

If you thought iron covers were bad...  🤣

[teedub21]

The funny thing is I always make a conscious effort to keep my feet out of the photos. 
 

What does make me crazy is people selling clubs that are filthy dirty. Clean that stuff up first people!  I’ve had irons shipped to me that had grooves full of dirt. Maybe I’m the crazy one since I wipe my clubs off after every shot and bring them inside periodically for a good cleaning in the utility sink.

That's what happens when the wife tells you that you have to much extra golf stuff and some of it needs to go.

....Butttt you want to keep it 😂

Im the guy that posts like 10 pics of the club and someone will still message me asking for more pics.

Me too with the feet... but my set lives in the house in my closet.. theres no way im leaving my set in the car or anywhere else. Too many things can go wrong and these things are too expensive lol. I only wipe in wet conditions but i clean them after every round.

They’re usually stored in the garage, 4 sets, bags, MGI cart etc. Never left outside or in the car.

Three things I’ve found that drive people  mad.  Leaving stickers on shafts , leaving the length sticker on a putter grip , and feet in pictures.  
 

i try to do all 3 regularly.   I absolutely get a kick out of someone’s reaction to ether.  😂.  I had a guy rip a length sticker off a putter grip once , and I dead pan stared him down and asked him to buy the putter.  He nearly pooped his pants.  Then I laughed.

I accidentally touched my big toe to the top line on the MP4 and it severed it right off.

Irons, show everything, backs too. 

[Bridges]

If your gnarly hairy crusty toes are in any of the pictures I am not a buyer at any price. I am serious, pull your feet back or put on some shoes you freaking hobbits.

My favorite is when I get to see the goofy face the seller is making in the reflection of the driver crown while he’s taking the pictures.  I’m definitely not a looker (as my wife will attest), but some dudes look creepy AF
