Selling Tips
Thoroughly vacuum the front grille and use compressed air to blow out internal dust before photographing. Test the heater and UV-C light (ensure the bulb glows) and mention 'Tested & Working' in the title. If the filter is clean, include a photo of the filter compartment to prove it doesn't need immediate replacement. Best sold between October and February.
