    Isn't Gumtree just for round the London area?

    Bit restrictive if you're nowhere near there.

    There are plenty of good looking people looking to meet people with UK passports on Gumtree!
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

    Wouldn't know, but your obviously looking for a special someone :D
  • Hi,

    have sold a couple of things on Gumtree so am a fan. Also you can keep reposting stuff for free so it is good. They send an e-mail when your ad is 7 days old to remind you to repost if you want to. Available in lots of towns not just London.

    Lol.

    i have got a fedback of nearly 800 now over 2 years and through selling 2nd hand things i have earned enough money to buy this laptop , a £800 dining room table , a fitted front door , camcorder , psp and many many other things ......so i certainly can see the point!
