Photos That Sell a Gaming Handheld in Ontario

The tower sell guide is about side panels and GPU sticks. A handheld sale fails for a different reason: one blurry front photo and no charger. Buyers of an MSI Claw 8 class machine want to see the device awake.

Five shots that answer the ad

Front, screen on, in a menu so the panel is obviously working. Back, so they can see cracks around the vents. Each shoulder and the USB-C port. The charger, plugged in, with the charge icon visible. A close look at the battery area if the shell is creased or the pad is lifting.

Skip the box-only photo. The box does not show a dead stick or a line down the LCD.

What to put in the caption

Model, storage size, whether Windows is signed in, and if the charger is the original. "Like new gaming console" fits three different products. "MSI Claw 8, 1TB, charger included, no cracks" fits one.

If you are selling to us, those same shots go on the sell form. We would rather see a bright screen than a dark product render.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a benchmark screenshot?

No. A game menu and the storage page in Windows are enough. A benchmark is optional.

The screen has a small pressure mark. Hide it?

Photograph it. A buyer who finds it at the door will walk or cut the price harder than if you showed it in the ad.

Can I sell the handheld without the charger?

You can, at a lower price. Say so in the first line. Many of these devices need more than a phone charger while gaming.

Key takeaways

• Screen on, back, ports, charger, and any swelling or cracks.
• Name the exact model and storage in the first line.
• A box photo does not replace a photo of the device awake.
