My surround sound system is just an ornament. Just over 12 months old and barely used it so put it up on Gumtree and Marketplace. Within 10 minutes I had a reply from A guy wanting to buy it.
He asked for my PayPal address and home address and is contacting a man with a van to collect it. He even asked me to mark the ad as sold which I'm obviously not going to do until it actually has sold.
The alarm bells have started ringing. I gave him my PayPal address and he sent me an email using that address to confirm it. I found that a little strange. I told him Family and Friends but it all sounds a bit iffy to me.
If I hear back from him I'll tell him Bank transfer only. The asking price is £600.
Am I being too cautious?
