I never thought of this one. Let me destroy your photos for $5-10.

Don't knock it. If you can make 5-10 bucks for five seconds of work in PS then more power to you. That guy is a genius as far as I'm concerned.

I hope you guys don't mind me chiming in on the topic.

I look at it the same as I look at a kid's lemonade stand. It's done by a kid who's trying to make a buck.

Way to go and things like this could be beginning of some important or turning points in life.
I join to say more power to him.

I bet hes not making anything. His "sample" shots are hardly a way to market such an offering. And then consider who WOULD be interested in actually paying someone to do this, his target audience, with these examples...

It seems to me if you know how to use a computer well enough to use craiglist, admittedly a low threshold, you can probably find a way to destroy your own images.

There are plenty of free apps out there that will let anyone do the same thing using a smart phone. Who needs a computer?

The problem is that, those are FREE.

Am I the only one that initially thought he was offering to use a shotgun to destroy bad photos? :p

I'm definitely in the "more power to him" camp, if he can get enough takers to pay for more than a couple of cups of coffee.

It's inspirational!

Hey all, I am doing custom white balance orders. Did you know its good to have your pictures balanced and rotated every year? it helps on wear over time. for a limited time we are offering free sensor fluid checks with the purchase of a $29.99 picture rotation and balance.
