[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 640147, member: 4728"] Agreed the safest would be via a forum such as this, but you can also sell by the other methods provided you take sensible precautions. You can even sell on Facebook via their Marketplace groups. That is also free and has the advantage in that it is advertised to potential buyers in your local area and I have found it an easy method of selling and buying unwanted household items locally. I recently bought a second hand detector and a camper that way. Whatever method you choose, ensure that you establish a personal contact by voice with the potential buyer by phone. A genuine buyer would have no issues with that but a scammer would, as it provides a tracer to their activities. It also gives the seller and buyer a chance to establish a rapport and sort out any further questions such as provenance, warranty, extras etc before a final sale is agreed. If a large sum is involved verifiable instant bank transfer such as Bendigo Bank's OSKO is to be preferred also. I would certainly not give my address or banking details out to anyone in advance of that verification whether the buyer be found through Gumtree or Marketplace or any other means. [/QUOTE]
