    Sorry my phone has automatically added annxue in it dictionary. He wouldn't actually leave started touching other stuff for no reason. He even ask me why I was desparte for £5 and to take £3.  How much I wanted for the TV. How much I wanted for other stuff which was not even on sale. He even held the dvd player in his hand said here take £3. I said no he said you have nice house please give it. It took at least 45mins to make him leave .

    Wow - you have more patience than me !!

    One does wonder why you are selling things for £5 . I couldn't be bothered with my time for that amount. I've sold l the occasional thing for £20 cash on collection, and on the day Ive told them I'll leave it outside and could they put the money through the door. That way I don't even have to meet them. I don't like strangers in my house.
  • Next time have the stuff in the hall by your front door, no need to let them over your threshold let alone into granny's annxue. I sincerely hope you have your home locked down securely, you've let a complete stranger have quite a look round!
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
  • I normally leave it in my porch but these people on gumtree want to test .
  • The money going to charity

    Id rather give stuff like a dvd player to a charity or stick it on freecycle.

    Even more reason not to sell a five pound item on gumtree.
  • How tight are these people on gumtree.
    Every single person who contacted me wants to test this item I am selling for £5. I even made YouTube video to show working but they still  want to see. I then replied I could drop over and test at your place and I never hear from them again.

    I am also selling a game console only and people are asking if the wires included , controllers and how many games??
