THIS is right on the money.
No need for bunches of photos or made up fluff or hype in the ad, you only need to put the BASIC necessities. Such as length, brand year and asking price.
For photos, one angle shot from front and rear should do fine and a couple of shots inside.
If you put in TOO much info and too many photos folks will SKIP over your ad and NOT CONTACT YOU.
Once they contact you THEN you start the sales pitch.
I agree on hype but I want lots of pictures, they just should make sense. I see many adds with five photos of the outside and still not show whether there is a ladder on the back. Be purposeful on photos. No inside photos and I'll skip over. Some inside, I might ask for something specific.
You need to decide if you want to cast a large net to sell quickly but deal with emails from non-serious buyers, or wait for that one buyer serious enough to overlook a poorly done ad. I think yoru post here implies you don't want the latter.
