[#12110280]

There are clear instructions that I won't deliver, etc.
How big is the avalanche of time wasting going to be?

#shouldajusttakenittothefurniturerecycleplace 🤦‍♂️

Interested!

When can you deliver? And do you have a free microwave I can have as well to make it worth my while?

Will you be at home between 03:37 and 04:12 on Tuesday?

Goggle says I can get there from my secret hideout in Stavanger around that time. Can you help me load it in the MX5?

I am interested in the item at the announced price. I am working overseas on a large governmental project so i cannot personally secure the item.
I will instruct my most trusted agent to pick up the items from yourselves aty own expense.
Fear not about payment, i will pay yourselves directly with a western union payment method prior to the arrival of my most trusted carrier pigeon. Yours truthfully crown prince ngoin beawinner chicken dinner, nigerian ambassador to save the fridges

Just had this with an excellent condition settee. Clearly stated this is collection only, and you will need to get it out yourself.
The first 8 messages were 'can you arrange delivery?'
Another one said she wanted it, but first, would like me to take a video of it, as she would only have it if it was perfect condition. I said why dont you come round and have a look, you'll see it is in good condition. She then said I was wasting her time!
Luckily, a lovely couple came round to view it on Sunday, said they needed to hire a van for the afternoon to take it away, and came back this afternoon to collect it. They were really pleased with it.

Sold some bunk beds to a bloke on FB. Turned up with a car full of stuff didn’t know how to fold the back seats, passenger stayed on the car while I made multiple trips to and fro getting said beds. Ends up insisting on a FaceTime call while he reassembled the beds. Ever tried explaining how to assemble a bunk bed to a person with zero practical skills (which is the screwdriver?) and the attention span of a collie puppy? I have !

FB and gumtree rule number 1, always put a price on it even if its only a tenner. Stops all the timewasters and then when you finally get rid of it you can turn down the money and really feel the gratitude

My wife ran off with the freezer and now I’ve nothing for Christmas and my kids won’t have anything. You’re asking too much mate, it’s not worth that. I’ll take it off you for nothing… you’ll have to deliver though. I’m in Norwich.

Which will probably mean they turn up in the afternoon, looking at you as if you've put them out due to having to pick it up.

I honestly don't even attempt to list stuff for free anymore, i just burn it or take it down the skip, at least then i know it'll be away at the time i want it, without any dealings with idiots.

I don't want the fridge freezer but I need your settee, some bloke called alani gave away the one I was after. Please make sure you video it first unlike the other timewaster.

PS Do you deliver?

I only did this once. 2 old fibreglass kayaks from the 1970's. Messenger went mad. Must of had 60 replies. Eventually a chap turned up to collect them with a vauxhall saloon without even roof bars. We sat the canoes on the roof and tied them on with loads of polyprop string wrapped around the roof via 4 open windows. I never saw him again!
