Where to store photos for a car sale?

I’ve decided to sell my E46 and Trailex trailer. FBMP only allows 20 pictures. Where can I upload pictures to, so that people can see them? It needs paint, but everything included, I think I’m giving it away.

Anybody looking for a track E46 BMW and trailer!

I’m going to post it on PP, but I also want a place where I can post a lot of pictures, that people can access.

You might create a Public facebook page where you can post as many pictures as you want. Then just put the link in the market place add.

If you have a Gmail account you get Google photos for free. Once you upload your pictures you can send buyers a link to the album, super easy.

Looking at your ad on FB, I think that is enough pictures.

Giving up track days?

I've seen some ads with links to Google Drive. All you need to do is create a new folder for the photos and change the sharing settings to "Anyone with the link".

Flickr has a free account and set the view for public and you can link the photos to your add.

It is a file transfer protocol (hence 'ftp', the same way that 'http' stands for hypertext transfer protocol) and is used for sending files (of any type) across networks. It dates back to the 60s or early 70s - think of it as the text-based internet before commercial web browsers came along in the early 90s.

Yeah, I was at VIR last weekend and just didn’t find it as exciting as I used to. I’m at the point, I like to drive the way I do, and I had an instructor that wanted to change things. He was a great guy and was doing the right thing for some students. Although I have some bad habits, it’s the way I drive.

I ended up with a Flickr account and have a link on FBMB to it. I probably need to take better pictures and thin out some of them.

Also, I’ll probably split up the trailer and the car and selling them separately.
