There are some chancers who try to short change you big time. I sold a perfect condition 27" IPS screen on Gumtree a few days ago. They are £300 new, so had it on Gumtree for £200 and a guy agreed at that price. He came to the house to collect and said, "only got £150 on me mate", to which I replied "then you aren't getting it, sorry we agreed £200". He went out to the car where his (I assume GF/wife) was waiting, came back a few minutes later with all the money. I told him I had decided to keep the monitor. He whined about how I wasted his journey/time and I told him, "all on you mate, when you agree a price stick to it".
Luckily I had another buyer who offered £180 if I didn't get it sold. I phoned him up and he got the monitor at £180. I was happier to sell to a non scummy git who wasn't trying to pull the wool over my eyes.
What would anyone else here on GD do in that situation?
P.S I expect he will sneak back and put pooh in my letterbox
