Hi Guys, need some quick answers...please :)

D90 Body the fleshlt thumb rest is gone from the back.
17-70mm Nikkor Lens (Kit lens with the D70)
NO CHARGER

They are playing hardball and inisting on £400 and rushing the deal really over the phone... fair price, or should I hold out?

Many Thanks,
Jamie
 
Tell them to take a hike.
I bought a mint D200 for £75...
 
Double post.

I would leave it well alone.....

A good condition boxed D90 boxed is likely to cost around £250-£280 and the lens (assuming you mean 18-70) between £60 -£90.

I basing this on Ebay and forum sales on here.

Pretty much as above, if you take a look in the classifieds, their are a couple there sub £280 at the moment, also their are a couple of D90,s for sale over on AV-forums, for around the same.
 
Agree. Doesnt sound mint and no charger!

£400 will almost get you that lens and a D300!!!
 
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough... I am selling the camera! Ha!

The woman was quite rude on the phone...
 
I sold my D90 on the classifieds here a couple month back. Absolute mint 11 months old, £3k clicks, boxed with everything as new and a 3rd party grip for £255 including RMSD. At the time there were two more for sale at the same price so that may give you a ball park figure.

Like someone emailed me saying 'mail me the camera, and then I'l pay you'

I'm a bit nervous about fake notes... is there a safer way?

Sorry but you need to apply some common sense. Why would you even consider sending it without being paid first?

I know this is a late comment, but I DID apply common sense the time before, and DIDN'T send it. It has just put me off a bit, I didn't realise how prominent scams were on Gumtree.

Paypal ? Bank transfer ?

Please tell me this isn't a windup thread

No, it isn't TG.

I am simply asking if there was a safer way to take money in a Gumtree situation. For example, some payments can be reversed or blocked AFTER the transaction of goods have taken place. I am not an idiot, I have just never sold anything over £100 second hand, and I didn't want to mess it up.

I would politely suggest in the future that if you are becoming wound up by a thread asking straightforward questions, you possibly don't jump to the conclusion that the OP is a complete moron straight away and simply stop replying.

If this is on fleabay and they want it posting abroad then make sure you get the cash into your account before sending anything and do NOT let them pay via PayPal.

Yeah, I had one of those before, and didn't fall for it, but thanks for the heads up! It must catch some people out!
 
Face to face transfer of goods and cash in a public place, ideally with a mate present just in case. Get a signed receipt (and give one). If possible, check the notes with one of the many checking systems available.
 
Thankyou Nod. This is exactly the kind of sensible advice I wanted. It's mostly common sense. (I didn't realise you can buy bank note checkers?!)

In the end the woman was too pushy for my liking. Made me suspicious. Didn't chance it. :)
 
Many security shops sell the pens that show forgeries up (something to do with starch in the paper IIRC) and the UV pens. If you can't find anything for yourself, a friendly café owner might check any notes for you (especially if you have a few cuppas and a brekkie there first!!!) Tell any prospective buyer that you'd like to check the notes - any reasonable person shouldn't take offence.
