Agreed. Nothing annoys me more then people who offer money without seeing the goods.
Touch wood, never had issues with no shows though.
Is it through the forum or gumtree? I always find with gumtree you get gumnuts.

That's because most of the time your dealing with kids.

I'd be surprised if you are advertising on this forum and having the same issues.
Advertising to the general public is the issue. It's pretty much the same issue that was discussed with hybrids a week or two ago. These people are generally not true hobbyists, and generally don't really care.
I'm not trying to be judgmental, just realistic...
My suggestion to everyone here would be to try selling to true hobbyists first. You are more likely to have a better experience as both buyer and seller, and as an added bonus we can revive the classifieds section of this wonderful forum

I only sell on here unless I really need to move something urgently. Gumtree is an absolute joke.

Yup, it's people
Doesn't matter if you are selling fish or a lawnmower
Some people are polite but it's getting rarer

I always try and sell on the classified section of PCS and Aquarium Life forums. After a couple of weeks of no joy, I put it on Facebook buy and sell pages and gumtree. And yep you guessed it, gumtree is where I get the dreamers. Today's bargain hunter wasn't a kid though. I searched his phone number on Facebook and it's a Vietnamese dude that looked to be about 30 (yep I know, stalker ha ha)

I put all my adds on here, there is no need to use Gum tree or FB. Most of the people on here are good to deal with but I did have a no show from a Committee member, he followed up with a PM a few days later saying " I'm still interested " he was ignored.
