Giving minimal information when selling a car doesn't make people want to call, at least not me.

If it's a car I want, I call. The ad doesn't matter much if I'm going to find out the information I want to know. Sure, any and all info given helps, but isn't a deal breaker for me.

The best deals are found that way.

If it's a car I want, I'm calling. Less information given is better for me. It keeps players like you on the sidelines.

Many years ago I responded to a two line ad in the local newspaper, but it's not every day a '73 Imperial comes up for sale within 30 minutes driving distance from one's house. Ten years later, a similar thing, a very low mileage locallly made Valiant was advertised in the weekend edition newspaper, simply stated it was a 37,000km deceased estate car, I bought both those cars, glad I picked up the phone to enquire about those two gems. That was before internet buying and selling became a thing, today is commonplace and we are able to post really good quality photos, not doing so is in my opinion, lazy. But I agree, if it's something you've been chasing for a while, it's worth asking questions.

Quite a few (often older) folks do not have the technical knowledge and/or the resources to take pictures and post that information. That is precisely what happened when I bought a rare EB7 1970 Chrysler TNT 'vert from the original owner.

I get that, even younger people are not always savvy with computers, etc., but we see this sort of thing regularly, surely all these people selling cars are not elderly.

I would venture that, as far as C-bodies are concerned, a majority may well be.

All? It only takes one and I don't wanna miss it.

I know people in their 80s who know more about computers, cameras, etc. than I do, just takes the willingness to learn new things.

Back in the 90's when I started looking for a Mopar, all we had was Auto Trader, and Trading Times. One black and white picture you hoped wasn't too blurry, and hopefully the engine and trans info, with whatever else the seller thought was important. I got my Dart out of one of those rags, with not much more than the year and engine listed.
