Quite happy with it, fantastic sound quality and seemingly very stable windows drivers thank god!

harry5522, you might be right about that!
Jono, that's awesome. I never used mine but bought it because it boasts ultra low latency. I can use your positive testimony to my advantage if I put this in MM.
That's a good idea, mrk, I think I'll try that. Hopefully someone in or near London I can meet and not have to post to.
So here's the upshot of all this. I got bombarded with messages from him:
Message 1: "Does it come with the software?"
Message 2 : "Sorry you stated it had the software."
Message 3: "Ok, you're on. It should cost around £5 for p&p."
Message 4: "Hello! Yes I agree to the PayPal transaction. I will need some reassurance about this, though! Let me know what you think?"
Message 5: "Will it be compatible with my MacBook Air core i5 4GB RAM and my iPad Air?"
Message 5: "Is it compatible with Ableton Live 9 software?"
Message 6: "From the pictures, it looks like new!'
Message 7: "Is it possible to connect it to my LG sound system using a 3.5mm jack plug? To act like a monitor."
Message 8: "Sorry mate, something just came up-to-date I just won a Fender Mustang amp on eBay, and it comes with it's own USB port/interface. So I won't be needing it now.
Anyhow, good luck it's a great product. You should be able to sell it in no time.
Thanks for all your help,
Kind Regards,"
I didn't know the answers to most of his questions.

Yup, sounds like a nightmare
Gumtree should really be cash on collection only but payment via bank transfer or PayPal gift should be safe enough for the seller if someone is desperate for postage.

run away
Do cash or Bank Transfer. If he wants reassurance, give him photos of the item with a paper that had the date, your name/ad link and his name/no. as proof you've got the item. From the messages you posted it sounds like he's a nightmare anyway not knowing anything. Wouldn't sell it to him if he offered more as it'll only be headache.
Bonus points if your junk is on the item.
What is the value of the item?

Mate, I don't know what happened there, but I got a reply from you that was a load of gobbledygook. Something about Samsung MIME with loads of random characters?
isn't that the email encryption ?

Possibly, looks like it was sent from an android device, but its the same on my ipad, Windows mail and Virgin browser email.
Sorry about that, rob. I replied with my stock Samsung S7 email client, but I remember having this issue once on my S6. I'll reboot the phone and resend. Post here if it's still jumbled and then I'll send via trust.

I see you’ve sent me another email. I’m afraid it’s scrambled again. It crashed my iPad when trying to open it

When I sell via Gumtree it's always cash in hand in London and at a place and time of my choosing.

Hi Rob. My stupid email client, grrr.
I've just sent new ones. Check your email now and let me know if they're readable
