I'm getting people asking for pics of java moss when i sell it. is there a reason for that you think? it's pretty darn common and any google search will show a pic. other mosses, semi understandable, though iTrader feedback will show good and bad sellers, right?

just wondering if any one else had such odd requests.

Perhaps it's just to see what yours looks like health wise, or to see what size portion they will get?

That's just a guess, but many people like to see the exact item they are buying.

yup i agree with Jan some people can be very dang picky

I really like when they ask me how much it is when it is clearly stated on the post. Then when I do tell them, they ask me for shipping. Which is also clearly stated.

Makes me go crazy

I ask for pics of plants before buying just so I know the quality and that it is the same thing ive seen in pictures online (just incase they dont have the name right or something).

Agree. There are so many moss variety out there that many people still mislabel them. so requesting a pic wouldn't be odd. Just hate to buy certain variety and end up with something else. Can certainly mess up the way you want your aquascape for sure.

I'm amazed people are even buying Java Moss, let alone asking for pics. I sometimes have a hard time giving it away at our monthly plant club meetings so I feed it to my Scuds

Java moss doesn't have a "standard" look to it. Sometimes it will be dark green, sometimes light green depending on how the seller grows it. I like to know what my plants look like before buying. Also I did a search on google on java moss. Some of them are just beautiful, and some just look ugly.
I wouldn't call it an odd request though.

The color variation depends on the tank conditions, especially lighting. What it looks like before you buy means nothing if your tanks conditions are different. It's going to change in your tank. As long as the stuff is healthy, that's all that matters when it comes to moss.

People sometimes just want to see what they are buying I guess. I agree though, it's just java moss.
