First..... simple and complete descriptions of the item for sale. Unless you are naturally a word-smith, keep it simple. Second... lots and lots of pictures. And having said that, quality still beats quantity. Crop your pictures to exclude as much of the background as possible. Use your Macro-Mode (or whatever setting your camera has) to get clean closeup shots of any areas of interest (damage or otherwise). And when taking your pictures, take lots from slightly different angles and then use the one that looks best after you have cropped it. By all means stage your pictures in nice settings, but don't go nuts trying to get 'the perfect shot.' Good, clear, well lit photos make all the difference in the world.
