Selling on gumtree dos and don'ts.

I've put my Titan X pascal card up for sale on gumtree but haven't sold anything that expensive on there before.

I was thinking I would keep my card in so they could see it working (I won't meet anyone), but how should I ask for the money? BT? Is that the safest way?

See I was worried about fake bank notes...if they BT me the money and I see it in my account isn't that better, or can they somehow get it back?

@Ayahuasca not sure you're serious about the filming....

Yep, from what I've read about PayPal and eBay, absolutely

As long as the BT isn't part of crime/fraud then it's fine, if at some point it turns out not to be legit it could get reversed.

So if the buyer is using someone else's details? Gotcha. So if I asked for say photo ID and the money came from an account with the same name I should be fine?

@BS Dave I see you have it listed on OcUK MM, it should sell there and it's a good safe place to sell.

Yep just hedging my bets. I justified the 3080 on the basis I could get a good amount for my old card so want to make the effort.

thanks for the replies fellas.
