Gumtree

[Zorgs]

Thats why we call it 'Bumtree' dude.

Savy internet buyers and sellers wont go near it!

haha, Gumtree's actually pretty good for picking up a bargain. If you get in quick enough, some sellers have no idea what their items are worth and/or are desperate and will take a ridiculous offer.

Gday Kemjack

Playing devils advocate mate and certainly no offence intended , did your correspondence include an off the bat offer on the item which was the first insult ? Gumtree seems to bring out some strange people and offers to match , about a year ago we sold our caravan for $37000 we had numerous offers ranging from $10 k to $20 with the added text " take it or leave it mate " seems like there are some people who see an ad and think that it is an invitation to reply for the hell of it without reason. ( generalisation and not saying this is the case with yourself )

No mate, I just sent the generic GT reply to say that I was interested in the car. I even included my mobile number to show I wasn't scamming. Cheers

Is the add still up?

No mate, I reported it and it was taken off within 30mins.

I can see that but I sent another bloke a message about his vehicle and got the right reply. Civil I'll go and have a look at his.

Nice lol, sure you don't already know Tim?.. :/

I don't cope with being told that little phrase especially by a coward that does it anonymously. I will be gentle at first until I find out what his problem is.

Why do we get so upset over words? Just laugh it off

I am at that point now mate, so all good.

His loss might be your gain KJ. The other vehicle you found will hopefully end up being better for you.

Sounds like you just got a bit of an oddball with a bad attitude , good luck with your car hunt mate and hope the right car pops up soon

Cheers

Ha, ha got to love Gumtree sometimes!

I had some brand new rims to sell once for $300 the lot (individually they were worth a lot more) I had one guy email me and say "$100 final offer if you want it gone" I told him I wasn't that desperate and I was more than happy to sit on them. He kept emailing me telling me I'm stupid and that I'd never sell them. His problem because two days later I had a gentleman who bent over backwards just to pick them up for the straight $300 no haggling or anything!
