    Yes, beware of scams on Gumtree.

    An advert in the local newspaper perhaps?

    If you use Ebay watch out for fees, as they can easily charge you £30 to sell a laptop (I think it is cheaper to sell as Buy-it-Now rather than an auction - check the prices).

    Yes it can get expensive with the triple dipping of ebay. You can use a Ebay Fee Calculator just to see how bad it can get:
