Gumtree seems to bring out all the idiots. I've had so many time wasters and con artists contacting me in the past couple of months.

Go for it! :twisted:

although people with bad english try to attain your mobile i got numerous messages saying ''what your number'' no questions about the item i was listing. i assume foreign people are selling mobile numbers this way to marketing companys for money

I sold my Honda Civic on there 4 years ago no problem. Guy tried to knock me down once he was at my house but I stood my ground. Sold quite a few nursery furniture bits on there recently as well. Never had a problem. Never thought about a wanted post on there though.

I had no end of plonkers message me, two very big Romanian guys turned up who had 'trouble' with their English, I let them start the car up and look at the engine (which I swear they messed with as it wouldn't start after they went). Eventually they called back saying they would pay the asking price, but then they wanted to take the whole log book instead of just the new owner slip...

Bloody hell it was hard work with their intimidation and I thought it was going to get nasty but I got my money and they got a Golf that wouldn't star with a blown Turbo and an engine that sounded like a tank :lol: :lol:

Its in Romania somewhere now :mrgreen:

You got lucky if you had a normal human being to deal with.
