Gumtree buyers - did not want to leave?

These items I can list on eBay. The problem is they are heavy. So I would have to post . If someone wanted to buy they would have to win auction or buy it now . Where as gumtree you can meet straight away.

No, you put them as collection only. You have more control over being messed about. You are also guided to put a fuller description

It's hard with cheap items. You often don't want to just dump them, but if you use ebay or Amazon, you have the p&p and trips to the post office, and if you use Gumtree or similar, you have potential problems with 'erberts such as the OP describes.

I use Freecycle or charity shops for low value items that I don't want ending up in landfill.

I normally don't let them come to my house but to back where my granny anxxue is.

I guess the lesson learned here is: don't allow strange men to go around the back and enter your 'granny anxxue'.

Most charity shops will no longer take "powered" items.
