It's like Bring a Trailer on a bad acid trip.
The Lincoln ad, in particular, is...wow. I mean that pic is a screenshot of the guy's phone. It shows about as little detail as you can imagine. But what's hilarious is that from that pic I actually recognize the location and know where this car is parked. |

Those pictures honestly bother me less than the ones that are all f/2.8 so 90% of the photo is blurry.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-honda-civic-30/ It's an auction. If the outer 50% of each photo is blurry, I'm assuming you're hiding something. |

That's odd - really had the lens opened up (I guess) to have such a narrow depth of field. Presuming that was done on purpose... dunno....

I actually enjoy putting car ads together. When I retire I could see it as a hobby/ side biz of detailing, prepping, photographing and writing the content. I really enjoy the negotiation part too.

There are enough people who hate doing all that that it might be a decent retirement/hobby/$$-maker.

I’ve generally had pretty good luck selling cars privately. Likely because I list them for “get this out of my driveway” prices.
