This Has to Be One of The Most Ridiculous Gumtree Ads of All Time

Well i was browsing my local area and i came across. He says that you are SAVING $150 and that he bought it from Big W, but isn't it suspicious it has the exact same games as the EB deal…

EB deal:

    reported to Gum Tree, I don't think anyone will buy it but I hate crap listed on there.

    • +15

      you reported what? Someone asking a 'higher' price than what you think its worth. hahahahahahaha

    • +7

      Which Gumtree condition have they breached to deserve getting reported?
      Let the buyers decide if they think its a fair price, or make a reasonable offer.

          but its not. They have the product, and will sell it at the price. Just because you think its too costly, doesn't make it a scam.

        • @JimmyF: there is nothing wrong with the price, the description is dishonest

        • +2

          @Savas: nope, its fine. They list the savings based on single RRP prices. If you're a fool not to double check, thats your issue.

    • So old mate has bought (will buy?) something from EB for $379 and is trying to sell to someone else for $450? Sounds like a nice earn if he can get it.

    • +2

      The seller can list it for $5000 if he wants and it still wouldn't have breached any rules.

      • then can you explain how saying "Save $150!" is being honest?

        • +1

          they listed in the listing how you 'saved $150'….

        • +4

          Xbox One S Console 1TB - Purchased for $399 at BigW
          Call Of Duty WWll Steel Case Edition - Purchased for $99 at EB Games
          Assassins Creed Origins & Rainbow Six Siege combo (Note# Downloadable Games) - Purchased for $99
          Total Cost $597.00

          $600-450=….?

          Very unfair to report the seller due to your own lack of comprehension skills.

        • @Ughhh: if he spent $600 he could return it instead of losing $150

          @Savas:

          Is it a crime to not exercise store change of mind policy?

        • @Ughhh: are you saying the Gum Tree user is telling the truth? then I owe you an apology

        • +3

          @Savas:

          You've misunderstood my point, just like you've misunderstood the listing and the purpose of the gumtree report button.

      Did you also contact the ACCC? We definitely need the government to step in and save people from spending too much money on Gumtree.

    if you think that is one of the most ridiculous you are new to gumtree.

    • agreed

    Have you seen this add for a CRT Monitor for $500?

    • +2

      Bargain! Dibs!

    • +2

      surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) there are collectors of rare and sort after CRT monitors.- some sony trinitron monitors fall in to category.

      I'm not saying this is one of those monitor, but particular monitors in good condition do fetch stupid money.

    Who cares?

    Not everything on Gumtree is a bargain. Some people use the site to try and make money. There's plenty of things on there that are more than what they're worth.

    If someone wants to buy it, then they'll buy it. They buyers decide how much they're willing to pay. And if the listed price is too high, then the seller will be forced to drop their price until a buyer thinks it's reasonable enough to pay.

      its ok, I offered them $50 pickup today ;) Its gumtree, isn't this what you do? :)

        Reported to Gumtree. :p

      • If your offer is accepted, let me know - I hope he has more than one! LOL!

    • Yep. Some people know they are trying to make a buck, some people paid too much and are trying to get their money back. See it a lot with camera gear, people tell you about discount vs RRP. Maybe they paid RRP, maybe not.
