A picture is worth one thousand words

By far the most important and powerful tool you need when selling on line is your digital camera It’s also the most overlooked area. The skills and equipment needed to create high impact ads is easily within everyone’s budget and after this tutorial you will posses the skills to get the highest price for your trailer, motorcycle, car or anything else you sell We have all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. That is certainly true when selling online. I have proven a picture is worth hundreds even thousands of dollars. The pictures used in this tutorial were taken with a FUJI Finepix 2400. I purchased the camera used on eBay for $60.

As in part one of this trailer selling guide we will look at side by side comparison on what and what NOT to do. These sample photos were ether taken off eBay from real auctions or are real photos taken by me of actual items I sold or auctioned online. All pictures used in my examples are untouched from any Photoshop type applications . While there isn't anything wrong with using such computer programs to adjust contrast, brightness and color of your pictures. Never use software to hide flaws or blemishes

Lighting is very important.  Don't just run out and take picture when the mood hits you

I found late afternoon works best if possible dont  take pictures in direct sun light its hard to get shots without glare or faded colors If you cant find or wait for soft light take your pictures in the shade.

This is a bike I sold recently. The above pictured bike was selling at the same time as mine. If you take a great picture always go with the enlarge size upgrade if offered by the online classified or auction website

Never post a picture that doesn't have at least 75% of the photo filled with the object your selling. Paying for a size upgrade on the picture to the left  would be a complete waste of money
You only have one shot at first impressions dont blow it

Imagine a potential buyer coming to your house to view the trailer or motorcycle you’re selling. Would they circle the trailer or motorcycle from twenty feet, and never get closer? Of course not. Any serious buyer would get on their knees and look close. If it's a motorcycle the potential buyer would view the bike from as close to a few inches away.

 Compiling or cluttered? Try to eliminated all things that distract from your ad. Junk staked around your trailer or motorcycle makes it pretty clear what your selling is also junk

How do you make a picture compiling? I believe the picture to the left demonstrates the technique

This is my fully restored Honda XL600R I sold recently. If you enlarge the picture you will see a dirt trail going up the hill in the background. Most everyone interested in this dual purpose bike would also be interested in riding it on the trail in the back ground.
