    I once advertised a working fridge/freezer on Gumtree for free with local delivery to Falkirk.

    I got a call from a woman from North Berwick. I told her she could have it but she'd have to come and get it. According to her I was obliged to bring her the fridge at my own expense because I advertised free delivery. 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
