... Should have pics with step by step guides to what it is, what it does, and why this is a must have item!! lol juuuust kidding!! I look through them and go hmmmm what is that and what does it do? lol

 

[RoseB]

I haven't looked at any of those threads, but one would think there would at least be pictures.

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

Oh yes there are pics, they just don't tell a newbie much. lol

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

Like hey that looks cool but what is it... Like chromed out car parts look cool but I don't know what they are or what they're for.

Most of the vendors web sites are the same way. They show a picture, some tech specs, and a price. Most of the time I don't know what else I need to add to it to make it a functioning device. It's ridiculous!

Classifieds are bad also. They usually just give the name, a picture, and that's it. People are ignorant on how to sell things. I usually have to use Youtube reviews to find out what things are and how they work.

hahahahaha yours made me laugh the most because sometimes when I am talking to someone about photography stuff, I can see exactly where I lost them, they get this glazed look in their eyes, TG the hubs knows some or we'd have nothing to talk about because when he starts talking cars I get that same glazed look! lol

clothes shopping with my girls is pretty simple, jeans, t-shirts, and chucks. We all pretty much have the same style.

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

I know!!! I have no clue what most of this stuff is or what it means!! Hey I might want to buy it if I knew right?

While vendors and some classified threads can be lacking, else where on this forum there are hundreds of pages on just about all the items.

Definitely takes a bit longer to find info this way. But its there.

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

except when they abreviate because everyone already knows what it is and what it looks like

 

[_more_]

I get bored looking at the classifieds. ymmv

 

[cags]

my rule:

if I don't know what it is or how it works, I am not allowed to buy it or research it! that keeps me content with what I already have

Ok that is where I would be comfortable car parts. The other day I was looking at some rebuildable tank and was like what the h? My husband says it looks like a feed on a kerosene lamp.....huh ok I get it now. Mostly I am good at working myself into a omg what is that panic lol. Then I get something such as my cartomizer tank and it all clicks. This is what I was freaked out about?! It's just a cartomizer with extra fluid lol.

 

[Marvin & Sennie]

RIGHT!! But all the while that I am looking and reading about it, I am like WHAT IS IT? It's like dry burning.. I was soooo scared to do it that the 1st few times I did, I did it wrong. As my friend says... I am a right brain kinda person, I have to actually touch it, feel it, do it, or I don't understand it!
