Woah,  Pump the brakes fellas.


Look, if data is valid and statistically relevant. Any theories you pose based on said data have statistical validity and therefor are not based on conjecture.


However the idea of being more transparent by taking a couple photos of tire tread is exactly conjecture.


Depending on what side of the table you sit on. This argument goes round and round so at some point you need to choose a path. That path may be the way of you internally and how many pics of your whip you feel is necessary on your site to move that metal. Or you could be on the side of the table taking the pictures who have to choose a fixed number because of pricing. They can’t affordably take infinite pictures. Maybe one of the sides is a vendor like autotrader / vauto and are using listing logic to give you a pretty good idea of vehicles similar to that one and how much merchandising it takes to get more SRP/VDP.


So as a business which road do you take? Do you choose your ability to make proper choices, do you choose a fixed based pricing package or do you choose the road that provides some statistical validity (not conjecture) that might help you be more efficient in marketing cars.


I’m not saying anyone is any better than the other because I really don’t know. But any direction we choose is going to be a bad one in someones mind. am i wrong?
