selling a car on Gumtree 22:53 - Jun 25 with 1718 views | Pendejo | Thought I'd test the water using Gumtree to sell my car... And within 24 hours have pulled the ad. Received a series of unsolicited sales calls, not had one for years before this. Two people indicated interest. One of whom had an M.O. That sounded very close to a scam I'd heard of. Didn't want to come and kick tyres, wanted bank details to make an upfront payment. Can't be bothered with this, will bite the bullet and PX it. |  |

So why not sell it to your daughter? Or was that her trying her luck replying on Gumtree? |  |

She wants it for free, naturally. Plus I don't think it an appropriate first car for a 17 year old, but understand why she wants it. |  |

selling a car on Gumtree on 06:08 - Jun 26 with 1448 views | befxblue | Had similar trying to sell a sofa on Gumtree last year. Buyer wanted to pay in full for the 'amazing' sofa on PayPal, and send an 'Agent' round to collect it as they were recovering from throat cancer. Obvious scam, and I messaged back as such, giving them both barrels in the process. Although part of me still worries I denied a dying person their bucket list sofa. [Post edited 26 Jun 2020 6:10]

Was the car a sweetener for a deal which would release millions of pounds of orphaned money from a Nigerian bank? |  |

Youngish couple, girl was pregnant (we were selling a Vauxhall Meriva) and her Dad came with them, deal concluded in no time and that was it. |  |
