Yes
Guys I have found this, but it has to be a scam. I am sorry, but this is too cheap in order to be true. I would not trust gumtree personally, but I will let you tell me what you think:

Please let me know what is going on with this and tell me that this is not real.

I have just had a look, thanks for letting me know about this. It is too good to be true and I knew something was wrong.
Thanks for the quick replies guys, and also I am warning everybody about these people.
 
Well most likely its a stolen item, its a common thing right now, and gumtree is full of dodgy things...

First is dormant.

Just a small back-street dealer trying to look big. And they're registered in London, but selling from Manchester.

Buyer be warned as they say :)
 
I think gumtree is good for buying an old fridge or sofa but rubbish for anything of value, just avoid.
 
Don't take the risk - it's not worth it. I'd never sell anything of value on Gumtree - just useful for getting rid of old tat...
 
Gumtree is a right laugh, somebody had a battered MX5 hard top for sale in manchester so I sent an email asking about it, the reply came back , the hardtop is in Italy, send me the £150 and i'll post it to you :bonk:

I've seen scams for high value items but a battered hardtop, who in their right mind would try a con with that :lol:
