Why do you think that?

On one hand, it could mean that you have sold it but on the other, you may mean that you have been done i.e. forced to sell it too low or, worse, been conned?

Well I spotted the car for sale last week on Gumtree so possibly just means he's done the Gumtree bit . And done with the low offers

Stunning car I had hoped to spot it on its travels through my area at some point, hope it goes to a worthy home.

Yes, I put an ad up but then removed it as I really wanted it to go to a forum member. Since nobody bit, I put it back up on Gumtree.

You had any ridiculous offers yet?

Such a nice looking machine

Dont know about that Gumtree ad though. It might frighten some buyers away

I loved the Gumtree ad! Having had some shockers come around for cars I've sold it should keep the clowns away while attracting the serious buyers.......give you £500?

SirRustalot · 6th November 2014, 18:10

No offers whatsoever. Not even silly ones, save the car dealership who offered me the round sum of £150 as trade-in.

I like to filter out the idiots in my ads. Seems to work. I'm keen to sell to a non-idiot. I sold a car to an idiot a long time ago and he was no end of problems. Thus, I employ idiot filters to full effect. That's a lot of use of the word 'idiot'.

Gumtree, for some reason, yields a lot of numpties and time-wasters. Still, it can be an effective tool for selling stuff but one has to be careful.

And there you have it.

First silly offers, via Bumtree.

#1 "Will you be prepared to take £500? You don't need it now anyway."

#2 "Can trade you a petrol lawnmore (sic) and £300. Let me know if your (sic) interested.
