That’s not a smeared lens.
That’s the complete and utter inability to take an even halfway decent photo, combined with the inexplicable stupidity to somehow think those make adequate pictures for selling something.
I’m starting to not feel so bad about the shitty pics I had on eBay recently…..at least you can see the damn thing I’m selling. I was thinking I needed to be more artistic with them, but fuck that…..I focus! WOOOT! GO ME!
How does a person not notice how shitty the pics are when they upload them? This person must have taken these pics and uploaded them, and then looked the listing over and thought, “yeah, that’ll do.”
It’s the same sort of people that drag images completely out of their proper aspect ratios when embedding things in powerpoint slides. I think they literally just do. not. see. the. problem. Like having a tin eye, versus a tin ear.
Exactly, and homegirl even bothered uploading not one, but THREE pictures, as if three absolutely shitty pics would somehow give you a better idea of the ring.
I found that the obstructed-by-tears imagery powerfully related the seller’s feelings at parting with such an emotionally significant item. I just didn’t think Craig’s List went in for artistic expression like this. I thought it was more about pictures of people’s junk in a reflective surface.
He does everything this way — she probably didn’t even recognize that he had proposed until after he angrily broke up with her over her lack of response.
I wonder if he gets a lot of butthurt over the fact that the CL4L list can only be accessed by entering the super-secret CL4L password that is CL4L, which he reminds us of by posting it under CL4L.
Pro Tip – If your going to buy Cristal for the lady, make sure it’s not a Bic Cristal For Her pen or she’ll start writing and that can only lead to a list of chores and self-improvement idea she has for you. I should have realized $6.65 with free shipping was too cheap.
Wow! I have one just exactly like this that my 4 year old picked out! It also was about three-eight-zero-zero …$3.800. His photography skills were the same too! What a mystic coincidence!
Am I the only person who thinks this is a setup for a scam/robbery/murder?
You email the seller asking for clear pics, and they’ll respond “sorry, i don’t know what’s wrong with my camera. do you want to see it in person? meet me in the parking lot of big moe’s at 10:30 tonight.”

It’s silly to spend so much time focusing on the ring, though, when its the quality of the relationship that counts.
December 17, 2012 at 10:04 am
Focus! Is it such a hard concept??

I’m thinking ‘help’ wouldn’t really help the photographer. Unless I’m wrong, the issue has more to do with this:

December 17, 2012 at 10:05 am
The kicker will be when they reveal that they aren’t even selling the ring, just the photographs.
December 17, 2012 at 3:17 pm
That’s different. A blurry photograph is ART, with, like, depth and meaning and shit. Totally worth $3800.
December 17, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Yeah, it’s called “bokeh”!

The same way a person mispells Delaware twice?
December 17, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Or misspells misspells.
December 18, 2012 at 2:51 pm
how meta.
December 17, 2012 at 11:21 am

Maybe their monitor was covered in tears and/or chocolate cake-frosting over the breakup?
December 17, 2012 at 10:14 am
For the fist time in my life a picture looked exactly the same when I was wearing my glasses as when I took them off.
December 17, 2012 at 11:23 am
Ditto, I thought the exact same thing! Without corrective lenses, I’m legally blind.
December 17, 2012 at 12:03 pm
December 17, 2012 at 10:15 am
Maybe it’s hers?
December 17, 2012 at 11:10 am
Or maybe it was Bigfoot’s?
December 17, 2012 at 11:44 am
It was a sad day when The Loch Ness Monster dumped Bigfoot but hey, plenty more fish in the loch.
December 17, 2012 at 11:52 am
Bigfoot got dumped, yeti’s still not over it.
December 17, 2012 at 11:59 am
But the way he treated Nessie was abominable.
December 17, 2012 at 12:04 pm
She gave back the Sasquring but still wears the Sasquwatch
December 17, 2012 at 12:11 pm
That’s all speculation and you know it!
December 17, 2012 at 10:21 am
Clearly intended for the bargain hunter.
December 17, 2012 at 10:25 am
Magic Eight Ball, should I buy this ring?
“Reply hazy.”
December 17, 2012 at 10:31 am
They also have a camera for sale. I hear it takes pretty good pictures.
December 17, 2012 at 10:38 am
Am I the only one thinking this is less about selling the ring, and more about sending a message to a certain ex-fiance?
December 17, 2012 at 6:51 pm
If it is, it’s doomed to fail. I can’t imagine the ex-fiance will be able to tell it’s his wring anyway.
December 17, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Ring, dammit! Ring!

The pictures are perfectly accurate, the ring is just made of felt.
December 17, 2012 at 10:41 am
Where’s Ben Stein and his big red eyeball? This is a commercial for Clear Eyes right? Right???
December 17, 2012 at 10:52 am
I was waiting forever for the pictures to load completely. Little did I know . . . it’s my monitor, right?
December 17, 2012 at 10:54 am
I tried calling about the ring, but there was so much static I couldn’t really hear what the lady said.

Pro Tip: Do not buy used diamond jewelry from someone on the internet who can’t bother to spell “Delaware” correctly or focus a damn camera.

He does everything this way — she probably didn’t even recognize that he had proposed until after he angrily broke up with her over her lack of response.
December 17, 2012 at 11:36 am
Craig has a tender side, Zip. He keeps these kind of posts on a semi-secret list called “CL4L”.
December 17, 2012 at 11:48 am
I wonder if he gets a lot of butthurt over the fact that the CL4L list can only be accessed by entering the super-secret CL4L password that is CL4L, which he reminds us of by posting it under CL4L.
December 17, 2012 at 11:20 am
Maybe they forgot that autofocus exists.
December 17, 2012 at 11:23 am
Might as well take the pictures with the lights off. Without flash.
December 17, 2012 at 11:32 am
Might as well not even bother with the camera.
December 17, 2012 at 11:39 am
… and not even bother with barn wood.
December 17, 2012 at 11:54 am
Huh, I can’t see anything without my glasses. I guess I’ll have to look at this later.
December 17, 2012 at 12:19 pm
You can see diamond rings like this from DeBeers but you have to drink a whole bunch of them.
December 17, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I thought I had a nice diamond from DeBeers but it ended up being Cristal.
December 17, 2012 at 12:34 pm
Pro Tip – If your going to buy Cristal for the lady, make sure it’s not a Bic Cristal For Her pen or she’ll start writing and that can only lead to a list of chores and self-improvement idea she has for you. I should have realized $6.65 with free shipping was too cheap.
December 17, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Don’t try to pull that zircon on me.
December 17, 2012 at 1:57 pm
You must think I have no Shane.
December 17, 2012 at 3:01 pm
He went to Jared!
Unfortunately, Jared had the DTs.
December 17, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Every keg begins with Kay.
December 17, 2012 at 12:40 pm
This looks like an out of focus pop tab.
December 17, 2012 at 1:04 pm
That camera needs to sober up.
December 17, 2012 at 2:12 pm
… Sometimes i think my photos are poor.. then regretsy brings us this. Thanks.
December 17, 2012 at 4:21 pm
QVC called, they want their cameraman back….
December 17, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Wow! I have one just exactly like this that my 4 year old picked out! It also was about three-eight-zero-zero …$3.800. His photography skills were the same too! What a mystic coincidence!
December 17, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I didn’t know Mr. Magoo is now working as a photographer.
December 18, 2012 at 4:38 pm
They would’ve taken a better picture, but they used their lens as an ornament.
December 19, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I fear I have been masturbating too much. My vision is starting to go.
