Feel free to spam them back

I usually ignore them, but sometimes I tell them that I will give them a firm price when they come to view it - and shipping to Nigeria is their problem.

Often I put a disclaimer on the ad - "not interested in swopz or posting to Nigeria."

gumtree is the worst for scammers

+ eleventy billion. Avoid Gumtree like the plague.

I actually have great success selling on Gumtree. I listed my car and bike on Sunday and they were both sold before lunch on Monday - plus, the minute they were out the driveway I removed the ads. Its a lot like Chinese brake parts - you just have to know what you're doing.

you forgot the "boom tish"

Have had success on Gumtree, usual spammers but they're easily picked, no imagination, I just replied that I've passed the details onto the NT Police, never heard back from them

i would bung an ad up there again, my bike did sell from my gumtre ad, but its painful to have to wade through spam ads...
