The Reseller Photo Checklist: The Shots That Prevent Buyer Questions

By The Garage Sail team··2 min read

The four-photo default

  1. Front, straight-on, plain background.
  2. Back or opposite side.
  3. Tag, model plate, or box.
  4. Any visible flaw, close-up.

Category-specific extras

  • Clothing: flat-lay measurements with a ruler.
  • Electronics: model plate; screen powered on.
  • Collectibles: corners and edges for cards; interior gutter for comics.
  • Furniture: pull-out drawers, joinery underneath.
  • Sneakers: soles; interior tag; both shoes together.

Light matters more than camera

A phone photo in even window light beats a DSLR photo under kitchen overheads. Shoot mid-morning or late afternoon near a window.
