I had an interesting one on the weekend. I changed over my dishwasher (not the wife...) and just wanted to get rid of the old one. Only 5 years old, but just wanted it gone so put $60 on it expecting to be haggled to $50 of course.
Dude msg me to want to come 'look' at it. I am southern suburbs, he lives Elizabeth North. Sure mate come look at it!
Arrives, gives it a good 15 minutes going over, checking rust, cleanliness, asking a heap of questions etc.
I said "mate, its $60, I have 10 people waiting to know if you want it otherwise they will come collect it, take it or leave it". Of course he offers $50 and then kept asking me repeatedly if it works. ffs.
Anyway its gone.

I had the same experience a couple of years ago, but a washing machine.

Put up a similar ad, dirt cheap just to get rid of it ASAP.

Fella contacts me and comes over, spends 15 mins inspecting it then tells me what’s wrong with it and what needs to be done to fix it. Told him I don’t give a rats how to fix it, I want it gone, then pissed him off.

Changed the ad to a free washing machine, pickup from this address, first come first served. Was gone in 30 mins.

One of the worst ones is the Technical Support user.

Your item has been sold, please reply to scammer@gmail.com to make your payment.


The avatar is the Gumtree logo.

I hate to think how many have fallen for this.

I’ve reported this user to Gumtree many times, but it still lives. :roll:
