Here's a little note to all you sellers. I will immediately pass up your listing if I see these heinously overused terms. 1) Minty. You really think I want a pipe that tastes like mint? It's not clever anymore...it hasn't been for over a decade. 2) Pristine. This one is usually quite far from the truth and is, again, overused. 3) LQQK/L@@K. What the hell does that even mean and what language is it in? This one isn't clever either. 3) Vintage. Again, usually not true. Something from 1980 is not "vintage" yet. 4) Beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'm the one beholding it. If I find it beautiful, great. If not, then to me it isn't. 6) Giant print, multi-colored, bold type descriptions. They just hurt to read. Color/bold is a spice in your description, use it sparingly.
This was a bit joking but truly, there are a lot of overused terms and you will not get more customers just by using them. Instead what we want to see are several clear pictures from multiple angles, complete descriptions, and shipping/returns info. For examples of great listings, just check out those by Pipestud, Smokers Haven and Briarblues.
Are there any annoying terms I missed?
