The Dashi Seller’s Guide

Sneakers sell on silhouette and condition honesty.

Clothing photos live or die on the backdrop.

Electronics buyers are checking two things: does it work, and is everything included.

For sealed LEGO, the box IS the product — condition of corners, seals, and box art drives the price.

Collectibles trade on authenticity and completeness, so your photos are evidence as much as advertising.

Card buyers judge corners, edges, surface, and centering — your photos must let them.

Comic condition lives in the details: spine stress, corner blunting, staple rust.

Book buyers want to know exactly what shelf life the copy has lived.

Art photography is about eliminating everything that isn't the work: hang the piece flat on a plain wall, shoot straight-on, and use diffused daylight so glass and varnish don't reflect.
