Do people really expect to sell things on craigslist when they don't even provide a photo of the item?

Eh, you never know. I’ve bought stuff without seeing a picture. Just make sure you have a chance to look at it before you buy. Meet in a public place, and don’t feel guilty about not buying if it turns out to not be what was claimed.

people click on ads on the internet, so who knows?!

why not? Some people even meet up to have sex with out seeing a photo…

good point lightly seared

Everything I’ve put on craigslist has sold within 24hrs – no pictures. So, apparently you are in the minority.

But it’s not like eBay, Craigslist is designed so you can meet the seller and see the item, before buying. Like classified newspaper ads.
