I'd suggest e-mailing for additional information and pics.  Larry comes on the board every so often and puts his list up, but he doesn't monitor activity here.  I've dealt with him a number of times and he's a good guy to work with.

No dealer is immune to a bad deal from time to time. I've never known Larry to be anything but an honest, stand-up guy. Your mileage may vary, but mine never has and I've purchased from him multiple times.

Well I'm not certain how many of us buy sight unseen BUT the FIRST chance I have of  POSSIBLY wanting ANY item is a glimpse of it's physical appeal.

If you've not the time or inclination to post pics, RIGHT OFF THE BAT, then I'm sure your items will languish.

But hey, what do I know?

Or if Larry wishes any to have interest in his items why not post the pics here?

Is it verbotten?

I find it very odd to have to go through a bunch of hoops to see an item someone WANTS TO SELL.

If you wish to sell something you POST PICS-to at least spark SOME interest.

But hey, what do I know?
