    My boat sold so I don't have to deal with the dickheads anymore.

    The bloke who bought it wanted a guarantee the trailer would make the drive from Mackay to Cairns, 800 kms. I said how the **** would I know, it's got 13" wheels etc etc.

    Today. $20 one item and $35 for both.
    I contact and say I'll take both.
    Reply is no worries when can you come and get them.
    Make arrangements all good.
    Get this message an hour later
    Forgot to mention that one is actually on hold at the moment but I haven't heard anything from the buyer yet. But the other one is definitely still available. Will you still be interested to buy one? I'll let you know later if she's still getting the other one. Thanks

    Contacted seller of a bike about his ad and subsequently went to see it this arvo. The stamped log book now did not exist, the aftermarket exhaust and rear shocks were different [inferior] to the listing and when I arrived he said he no longer was going to sell it with rego [different to our phone conversation], but he knew someone who could get a RWC...

    At 3.10 today I was all set to come in here and tell everyone I'd actually sold a driver through gumtree, and for the list price. Guy had arranged, through 4 sms's as late at 3.15 to come and collect it at 3.30.

    Still no show, hopefully not looking for a place to knock off over easter instead. Maybe change the name to scumtree.

    Call a guy about a tinnie that he had just listed and tell him I'll come and grab it now. Nah not at home come and grab it tomorrow.
    I get his address and it's on for 9am.
    Notice later on that his add has been removed so txt to make sure it's all good.
    This is his reply
    Yeah mate I'm thinkng I put it up pretty cheap my phone was ringing non stop after we got off the phone so I had to take the add down.

    It's getting a stinking name, but the fact it's free means they probably don't give 2 shits

    I use Gumtree to sell some of my gear. I get a better price than I would with eBay and they can't return it for some stupid reason. I just ignore the silly low ball offers. I must be lucky cos I haven't had too many no shows.

    Yeah I think there is too much power to the buyer with GumTree, they can treat the seller like crap without any consequences.

    People call the buyer on a hot item and when they are told that another guy is buying it already they tell them they will pay extra and come right away. This has happened to me twice now and both times the seller hasn't notified me of it. I only find out when calling them as I am about to leave.

    It sounds like everyone treats everyone like crap to me.

    We've had people show up (at least they show up I guess) to buy a $10 item & they either try and bargain with you or they say sorry they've only got $8 on them.

    They've also tried I've only got $8 or this $100 note, hoping that you don't have any change.

    Gumtree is a fascinating case study for human ethics
