    It's not just gumtree, for me if an item is for sale, 1st with the cash takes it away. I would have sold the item and contacted the 1st caller to tell them carry on looking. I bet they will contact later with a feisty offer.

    That's a possibility, so far it hasn't happened. I had another item for sale at the same time, similar request from a potential buyer but they arrived when they said they would. I like to give the benefit of the doubt, I may be let down at times, but it's nice to have a little faith in human nature. Also, when I sell any item, buyer is informed that if the have any hassle with the item, just bring it back for a full refund. So far, not a single item has been returned. Most people are naturally decent and basically honest, it's a shame that the rogues get everyone tarred with the same brush.
