When I told her local delivery meant Falkirk (as stated in the advert) she started screaming and swearing at me for wasting her time, false advertising and being a scammer. Unhinged I believe would be the correct term. In the end I delivered it to a nice lady round the corner whose fridge had just packed in and took her dead one to the local recycling centre.
Gumtree has to be the worst place for time wasters. I had some nice audio stuff that I no longer used so thought it would be nice to put it on Gumtree for free. After waiting in twice and people not showing up as agreed I ended up taking it to a charity shop. Don't think I would do the same again, once bitten twice shy.

Kindest regards
