People keep listing broken stuff without saying it's broken

Three times this week I saw someone post a "gently used" blender with no mention that the lid seal was cracked or a lamp that worked but had a frayed cord. Then you show up and have to figure it out after hauling it home. If you know the thing has a problem just say it so nobody wastes 20 minutes driving across town for trash. Why do people think hiding damage is somehow gonna make it disappear?

Honestly, message the seller before you even leave the house and ask them to take a pic of the tag or serial number... saves you a trip more often than not.

And if they send you a blurry pic that barely shows anything, that's usually a red flag too. I've had people ghost me after I asked for a clearer shot of something simple like a model number.
