There are plenty of places online to sell your old items. However, posting images for the listings including mirrors is often more chaotic than any other item you might sell. After all, you have to account for the reflection they display just as much as framing and photographing the mirror properly in the image. These are some of the most interesting attempts.

Not Even Looking

A lot of pictures are posed. This way, everyone knows they look exactly the way they want to look on camera at that moment. On the other hand, sometimes the best type of picture for the situation is a candid snapshot.

Not to mention, who's a better model than a man's best friend? Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this model is included with your purchase of this mirror but it's a great way to advertise!

But How?

At first glance, this image doesn't seem too weird. It almost looks like a professional photo of a mirror for sale but something is a bit off here. Namely, where is the photographer or even a camera on a tripod?

It seems like the photo was taken head-on which would mean the photographer would show in the reflection. We can only guess it was a bit of editing magic, or a camera timer, that helped create this illusion.

Can't See Me From Here!

Of course, sometimes you want to grab a picture of the mirror without being in it. However, you also don't have the skills or interest in editing.

The good news is that there are a few different ways that you can avoid catching yourself in the picture. At the very least, you can avoid capturing an image of anything identifying. As this person proves, you just need a free hand and a corner to stand behind.

Perfectly Posed

Listen, you can't always hide from the camera when you take a photo of a mirror. So, why not do your best to make the most of it? This person was runway ready when they snapped a few shots of their mirror to post online.

We'll give them extra points for striking a new pose in every picture. Plus, the description really sells it here. After all, we've already seen the promise of selfies in this mirror.
