Bullshit Ads on gumtree

[TeaBee]

I've been looking for a secondhand phone on gumtree for about a month now and its just choc full of bullshit artists.

I've bought plenty of stuff through gumtree and its usually not a fuss. But when it comes to phones (iPhones in particular) every potential seller just seems so dodgy!

Heaps of people make up some BS about just moving house and lost the receipt then, or they don't have the phone on them at the time and cannot quote the IMEI number.

Was there a huge smash and grab on the Apple store and now everything is being flogged off? Maybe getting them cheaper overseas and selling here? I dunno..

Just makes me wonder if people are making a profit somehow.

i sold my iphone on gumtree no problems ... let me tell you that some of the buyers are as dodgy as the sellers

[TeaBee]

Yeah I forgot the classic 'unwanted gift'. Who buy's someone a phone anyway..

I'm sure there's heaps of dodgy buyers too. They're usually easier to pick though.. never ending up in a face to face meet with them being the biggest give away

It does happen ai, this one year I got four phones for my birthday.
Na but in all seriousness I know people that got bought phones for birthdays by their parents and grandparents. Sold second as new in box
