A WORD ABOUT REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL DIGITIAL IMAGES With the arrival of digital cameras dealers are increasingly furnishing large numbers of digital images for each item offered for sale. They do this to encourage sales and reduce returns. This is a wise procedure and we follow it. Unfortunately, it encourages a certain type of uncertain client who is inspired to “stay in the game”. We try to provide adequate descriptions and images within the limits of our ability to do so. We decline to provide additional images or answer ill considered questions. Remember images are invariably large files and are frequently rejected by your server and/or system. |
