    Thanks to everyone for their input.
    It seems most people are of the opinion that it is a waste of time.
    I will perserve a little longer, and relist my ad to keep it fresh and see what happens.

    Since Im selling motorcycle gear which is bulky and heavy I wanted to sell locally rather than have to deal with postage.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for selling locally in London?
    I tried Loot once, with no response.

    Thanks

    Don't bikers have a dedicated paper like auto trader they all look at as well? Maybe lower the price or reconsider your wording.

    I have had great sucess selling bits of furniture on Gumtree. Coffee table,office chair,drawers and an exercise bike. Offering local delivery seems to help.
