A basic photo set
| Shot | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Front three-quarter | Overall condition and configuration |
| Nameplate | Model and serial number legible |
| Connectors and cabinet | Signs of heat, corrosion or tampering |
| Wear points | Cables, hoses, guides and tooling |
| Around the base | Floor damage and mounting condition |
| Damage shots | Any defect, up close |
How to shoot it
- Bright, even light; no flash glare on metal.
- Include a scale reference such as a tape or a gloved hand.
- Shoot before cleaning if dirt is part of the story.
Accurate photographs reduce disputes. Misleading ones end the relationship.
