Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.

In the spirit of the original thread, which was not supposed to be about eyewateringly bad boats but instead about crappy photography, here's one from the David Lynch school of photographic effects.

Reminds me of dating sites. They have a tendency to remove all the wrinkles.

It is a current listing, but note the date on the photos, significant agricultural improvements are likely to have occurred given the 5 year time span.

Not an ad for a sailboat (not that you can tell), but seriously. This is the one and only picture in the ad and, yes, this is actually full size! It's kind of scary to think that there is someone out there who is so totally brain-dead that they think this is going to help them sell their boat!

A retired hippy from the 60s.
Get the drug dogs on board if you are considering the boat.
Maybe someone is trying to sell her?

That looks like a baby Blake. The rolls royce of boat heads.

Just mean, guys.

I agree the pics are poor for marketing purposes, but there's no call for slagging people based on appearance, IMO especially elderly women.

You're quite right, John. I picked that photo because of the smudge, or whatever, on the camera made her right eye look very weird. Not because she isn't a completely normal looking person, which you can see from the rest of her pictures.

Ma'am, if you ever read this, I meant no disrespect. Bad pictures happen, my own pictures are no exception, I chose to make a joke about this one and I'm sorry.

I find the picture of her holding up the reading light fixture particularly weird. You’re selling a boat (of which there is not a single good photo) not a light.

She's a YouTuber, likely just picked out some screengrabs from one of her videos, rather than bothering to take decent picks.

Seller's loss buyer's gain. . .
