Retro console photos that show the ports and the wear honestly
Collectors of old consoles check the shell color, the ports and the serial label. A dim shelf photo hides all three. Send a phone photo, ask for a plain backdrop and soft light, and the bot clears the clutter while scratches and yellowing stay visible.

Make it in TelegramCondition decides value
Yellowing, cracks and marks change the price, so never let the bot clean them away. If wear disappears, rerun with 'keep all scratches and discoloration'. A mid gray tone is neutral for both white and black plastic and keeps the edges clear. Take every source photo in the same light, so that discoloration looks the same from picture to picture and nobody doubts the series.
What the buyer gets
Lay out every accessory you include, and mention clearly what is missing, such as a power cable or a box. Add model numbers from the label to the text. Read the current rules for electronics on eBay before listing, and include an untouched photo of the serial area so the buyer can verify. Mention the region of the console if you know it, since some game cartridges will refuse to run on a console from another region.
Tips
- Photograph the back panel and the serial sticker.
- Show each included controller and cable in a lineup.
- Take close-ups of cracks and discoloration.
- State whether you tested the console.

- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
