gumtree idiots

[marius 58 bug]

I placed a add in gumtree and there idiots phoned and asked me to bring my wheels to them and then they will do a transfer, they must think I'm a idiot . I wander how many people fall for this . I think we must all get to together place a add and go out and f@ck there duds up.

[Retrobug]

you are lucky you never got a please call me!
Hell if you cant afford to call me how the are you going to buy my stuff!

[Ron&Gill]

There is that.....

[MINCE]

the worst is getting sms's

[Ron&Gill]

No, sorry mate, a "please call me" 'coz I wanna buy your car "and do you take an IOU" takes the friggin cake.

[Retrobug]

wait, wait!
How about the "can I pay you off!"
Or is that your best price?
No Dude, my best price is R1000 and not the R500 I put in the advert!

[Golfmad]

I refer to it as SCAMtree.... seems much more appropriate !

[MINCE]

When I advertise, I say, "First with CASH is king. NO dibs."

Because you get the guys saying "can you hold onto it till next saturday? I am waiting for money to come from 'whoever'".
And they must come to me to view it and they can take it if they have cash.

Amen, brothers, amen.
As you are aware, "Klara" has been up the Gumtree, and we've had some 'interesting' calls...
1) "Is that your best price?" - Read the bloody ad, it says x amount, non-neg.
2) "Is it in running condition?" - Read the bloody ad, and, no, it doesn't run, it rolls on wheels...
3) "What's wrong with it?" - Read the bloody ad, and nothing, it's just 40yrs old, you can expect imperfection
4) No, we will NOT bring the car to you...
5) No, it's not a diesel...
6) Yes, there is absolutely no signs of a water-leak from the engine whatsoever...
7) No, you can't 'pay it off'
No, I will not hold it for you, first with cash in hand wins...and I'm sure you can pee on your own by now.
9) Yes, this is the one with the engine at the back.
10) Yes, it does have an engine, but you're welcome to harness it to a coupla horses
11) um, you did see in the ad that it's a '72 model, right?Ok....no, I don't believe they had ABS back then...
12) Yes, it's licenced 'til August, no, you can get your own road-worthy certificate...
13) No, you can't take it to Potch to show your girlfriend/father/mother/canary...
Those are some of the best ones...

Someone emailed me about the fasty saying that he will pay me R10000 cash!

[retrovan]

Had my crashed Corsa on, and under price, I put "Highest offer"

Dude phones me and asked very intelligently "what's the highest offer at now"

My reply was "R47 000.00"

He asks, " Will you take R1000 for it"

After I told the guy I had lowered the price from R20000 to R18000 and now R16000 he said, "OK I'll give you R12000 cash, right now"
