Well, when you want to sell something you should be a bit more professional about it, or pull the ad. It's annoying when people don't even bother to say 'sorry, I forgot the ad was still up', or even 'sorry, I sold the sail to a mate'.

I think a lot of people are really considerate until they sell the item, and then they don't care.

I agree pull the add if it's sold. Dealing with buyers can be a pain in the ass, I recently sold a heap of stuff on gumtree- for every good buyer there are a dozen ** ones, it got to the point that unless someone said "have you still got it, can I come pick it up now" I would bluntly reply. People say they will buy something then never pick it up, mean while in good faith you say to others sorry you are holding it for someone. I've gone out of my way to drop stuff off to places i'd not normally go & for what. If I have a good buyer I always threw in something for them anyway or thank them for being a good buyer. Professionally I put a $ value on my time, below that as I said if you aren't coming round to get it then I won't bother. Strangely this must apply in buyers too, I've sold stuff, person has paid and never picked it up. Then you get the will you swap with x, or can I try it or the constant questions after the sale- it takes people with more patience than me. Society has developed into selfish consumerism, for every seller there are a ** tonne of bad buyers. As a buyer it annoys me more is someone that says something is in particular condition but it isn't. If I feel the price is reasonable I don't haggle, otherwise I offer what I feel is reasonable & leave at that- what point is hassling them? I pay for in cash & when it suits them, if I know something is worth more, that the seller wouldn't know and if they are a reasonable person I give them more than they ask. Ripping someone off as a seller or a buyer is akin to theft & it happens all the time.

Quite a few of web enquiries I've made seemed to have been ignored - until I checked the spam folder... Gmail thought it was junk :o

I've sold a few things on gumtree
i get a lot of lowball offers, some scam offers, that i don't reply to
its refreshing to get a genuine buyer keen for a purchase.

Sorry Fingerbone I have been busy

Yes the size 26 rubber suit and gymp mask is still for sale.
I revised the ad, as I did manage to get the stains off eventually.

Firstly I am happy to pay asked price for this item.....I am happy to pay for postage and am happy to give xtra $20 for sellers trouble in posting ( wrapping board etc ) so at the end of the day I would probably pay nearly $100 more than asked price ( mainly because I cant pick it up from seller )


Secondly....Mark I would have bought your old rubber suit but the crouch was way to small for me..
