Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth for £250.
I was actually going to buy one tomorrow for £469 when I saw this second hand.

Id just put it on ebay if i were you.

Give it a week and you can start a "scammed on ebay" thread.

Did you get this type of email? My mate had a similar email, but he wanted to buy something off that person...

All these ***** are cut from the same cloth I swear.. he's at sea browsing the internet and looking for stuff on Gumtree, has email access, but can't use his phone?

The things these people come out with are hilarious.

Oceanographer... **** off mate.

The funny thing is, I received this email literally 30 minutes after posting my ad. Do you reckon its automated? Well, I received a text message with an email address first, didn't look too dodgy. But after this email, I was like yep... scammer.

They are probably scouring Gumtree for everything and spamming people with the same email. More than likely using stolen/phished PayPal accounts to pay etc..

If someone could send me just 20 bitcoins I can release £4 million in funds that my late Nigerian uncle has bequeathed to me. Once funds have been released I will happily share them with the sender of the bitcoins. k thnx.
