[QUOTE="Grail, post: 640100, member: 22861"] Hi DetectorMan, here's 1 buyers perspective, (me) on purchasing a detector from gumtree or ebay... I finally purchased one after a couple of months of nearly buying others many times over, but at the last minute decided not go ahead with the purchase.. Why.? thoughts of its a scam, im going to be ripped off, i dont trust the seller, all of which had me pulling out of the purchase at the last minute, its not the place of where you are advertising to sell that is the problem, its the buyers mindset because it is a lot of money being transferred to an unknown and the only way to overcome this is to be lucky enough to find a purchaser close enough to come and see it.. as for what i ended up doing, talked to the interstate seller many times, got all the info on him as i could and decided he was honest sincere and trustworthy, paid express post, fully insured, finger crossed toes crossed and hoped for the best... so after that long winded explanation. the answer as to where to place an ad is "as close to the buyer as possible".! :) [/QUOTE]
