Hi, not sold yet. I can't phone you as i am deaf, this is my only way of contact, but please bare with me I am a serious seller...if you're no timewaster nd have cash for it reply straight away coz I want a fast sale hence the relative small price. I prefer collection but can deliver as well. Thx, Tiff
my reply
hi tiff cash aint a proplem mate,.where would pick up be from.?,as im in essex
them again lol
Hi Lee, excuse my late reply but I was tied up with work outside of town. Would u agree with delivery ? coz as I've mentioned I'm caught out of town with work commitments and I had left the bike to a local courier this afternoon at my expense incl the shipping costs. If u agree with delivery I'll wait ur shipping address, a delivery date & time that suits you and ur phone number as the agent will ring you with few minutes before delivering. The bike will get to u in approx 1 day. You'll have to inspect and void the shipment if something's wrong and the agent will take it back if you don't sign for it, but everything is like I described so there shouldn't be any problems. You'll need cash or credit card to pay the delivery agent on receipt. Thx, Tiff
they must think ppl are f**kin stupid..just be aware regards lee

if it dont feel right lee walk away, i hear a lot about gumtree dealings and it's never good feed back

[Gary72]

There is a phone service for the deaf, I've had to use it in the past. You talk to a person who then types a message or morse code or something to the deaf person. 

[Tachikoma]

Insist on collecting in person, see what stupid excuse they give 

[energiza]

so here we go..sent a reply saying i would prefer pickup and they replyed saying they would contact me thursday when they get back..so i said coolio ill deffo have this bike can you forward me your address.as any1 would say the same then i get this message this morning
reply from tiff lol
Hi Lee, excuse my late reply but I was tied up with work outside of town. Would u agree with delivery ? because as I've mentioned I'm currently caught out of town running an errand and I had left the bike to a local courier this morning at my expense including the shipping costs anywhere to UK mainland. So total cost: £480
The bike will get to u in approx 24 hours. If u agree with delivery I'll wait ur shipping address, a delivery date & time that suits you and ur phone number as the agent will ring you with few minutes before delivering. Otherwise I'll be back home on saturday if you want to view before deciding to buy.
Thx, Tiff

so i replyed this
your confusing me..your emailed me this message already..said you would get back to me on thursday as i would prefer pickup..if the bike is in reading how the hell can it cost £250 to corrier..as its only £25 max to corrier a bike..think your out to screw people over myself..but could be wrong

thats exactly the same 1st email i got from them..

[energiza]

  just went on gumtree to post link up on here & the ad as completely disapeared weird that aint it..

[mattuknc]

I emailed Gumtree about a motorbike that was 'well shifty', they emailed me back and removed it almost straight away.
Just let them know, they'll take it off. 

Sounds a good deal though.   

[lammychop]

yeah i emailed that ripper i knew it was a scam as the ad was one day old and it was still for sale,as soon as he mentioned shipping i told him to stick it up his scamming arse
