When you are sending image files by email, PLEASE make sure you
use your photo editing software to resize images to a maximum of 600-700 pixels
wide (or about 6-8 inches). As a guideline 640 pixels is the default width for the images
produced by many digital cameras. We have recently had far too many 4 Meg image files
sent by email, and would rather not have any more!!!!!! Before attaching a file
to your email, please check its size, and don't send anything bigger than 500,000
bytes. If you think its too big, try using your photo software to convert to JPG format
which is normally the smallest file size. If still in doubt use snailmail!
If you have an existing image on a personal webpage, read how to use that image instead of sending one to us.
Its easy to add a photo of your car to accompany your advertisement,
(and we don't charge anything!). You should use clear sharp color photographs, and
we would rather you didn't trim it (or snap it in the first place), so that no background
shows and the car itself fills the entire frame. Photos are much more visually
appealing when there is a setting in which the car can be seen. We ask that you send only ONE
photo, unless you are including a gallery advertisement. (details below)
The only two exceptions to our free advertisement policy are options for an enhanced listing
and an option we offer to include a small image of your car in the "cars for sale" gallery on
our home page. The enhanced listing costs $5 and the gallery photo on our
home page (which includes the enhanced liosting) costs just $10 (U.S dollars), You can request that
we put the photo in the gallery when you send it to us, and we'll do it
right away.
The advantage is that all our
visitors get a chance to see your car, and perhaps be attracted to it
without having to go and search the database for cars for sale. This really
works, because the statistics we collect show that these gallery ads
attract up to 10 times more viewers!!
To pay us, you can either mail a check to the address below or you may
now use Paypal
to send us payment over the Internet. Signing up with Paypal is free, and it costs you
nothing to use it, (other than the amount of money you are sending of course!)
For those who wish to include more than one photo of their car in an
advert, we ask that you take the above option, and pay for a gallery
advertisement. For these customers we will allow two photos of your car
in the advertisement.
We offer the following ways of sending in photos.
Email the photograph to us as an attachment to a message. Please email
The Classic Car-Nection with the title containing the word 'photograph'
and the message body stating the reference number we assigned to your car. If
you wish to include the picture in the gallery on our home page, as well
as in your advert, mention this in the message, and send us the payment for $10 (US Dollars).
