Gumtree scammer

[chookey]

Just been browsing my local gumtree when I spotted a GTX 1070 graphics card for £75. My bullshit alarm went off so checked him out.
Here are his other items currently for sale, could anyone really fall for it?

I searched one of the images for his gaming pc and found it is from a current ebay listing and is way closer to the true value, different part of the country as well

I've reported the ads to Gumtree.

Perhaps he's just a victim of a cruel joke?

Gumtree don't mess around. Shut him down already.

They are quickly reappearing with more and more items for sale He's having a sale now, lol. Dropped the prices.
I actually think he must be unaware this is happening, no-one could be that blatant.

Link working again if you fancy a laugh

I put something up for sale on it some time ago. I did this because of the size of the item and didn't want the hassle of postage etc;
The only enquiries I had involved distance, postage and Paypal.

The only reason I have used gumtree is to avoid postage. Is nobody in Nuneaton to offer to have a look

Guntrees fine but, I only buy local and cash on collection. I took 1 chance with a £300 gold ring awhile back using PayPal but the guy mailed and all went well.

The you what, it's safer than eBay at the moment. Sellers sending crap and refusing to refund then waiting for eBay to step in. Then buyers saying the goods you sent is damaged because they know that eBay always favor the buyer.
