    If he really wants to sell he could get paypal.

    Is it really worth the risk.

    Ask someone local to pick it up for you?

    This. Surely someone on here would pick it up and dispatch for beer tokens and cost of P&P (I would if it was in Brizzle for an STWer). Bank transfer is way too dodgy for something on gumtree.
