Deano dont be put off for Gumtree .............  it's PERFECT for honest people like all of us here on this forum.
 
My name has been on EBAY and GUMTREE for well over 20 years.  Ebay TERMINATES you in a heart-beat if you pull any scams. Ebay site is VERY secure. They also refund your losses if they "miss" a scam.
Gumtree is also on to them, but scammers start up in another name with another PC and get away with it UNTIL enough of us report them.  Honest sellers have nothing to lose on Gumtree as you get the MONEY first, and then you send the goods
