Millimeter Ruler Help

[vintagecalif]

Hi guys,

I sell lots of small items. Even though I list them with at least one picture having a mm and inch ruler, buyers still want measurements.

Does anyone know of a shareware app that has an "L" shaped mm gauge that I can use when esiting in Picasa 3?

oR SOMETHING THAT i CAN PRINT OUT TO GIVE ME AN "L" SHAPED RULER.

tHANKS IN ADVANCE.

Would the simplest thing not be to just write the measurements in the listing? Some people like pictures but others get their best info from the written word so if people are asking for measurements maybe that would be the way to go.

Incidentally, this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/27917202/large-vintage-african-trade-bead-chevron has no measurements at all in the listing. I realise that your US customers will get an idea of scale from the coin, but to anyone outside the US that's really no help as we don't know what size your coins are.

How about a metric T-square? Here are a bunch of printable paper rulers:

If you edit the images you can manipulate the stackable metric ones to form a t-square.

Oh, forgot to mention that I agree with DancingGirlArt about posting the measurements in the descriptions as well.

I need to do that on my items, too.

I use a caliper I got at an auto parts store. Love it!!!

A caliper would really be your best investment. I got a nice one for about 10 dollars that I use for almost everything!
