My experience is 50 % of gumtree buyers are timewasters or clinically insane. But its free. If you put the crown jewels on there you would get an offer of £5 !

if you bought the good in good faith and paid a fair price for them not a lot they can do and as you paid in cash i dought you will never hear any of it i belive they have to prove you bought stolen goods knowingly eg you bought a 400 pound laptop thats a year old for 60 pound they will say you should have known it was stolen but if you paid 150 for it you paid a fair price and hence bought it in good faith and as you bought it from shop its there responablity to do the cheaks and if was stolen they could come to you to recover the said item but you would then have to go back to the shop to get your money back but thats very rare they would have to have proof it was that actual item eg have the serial number

A friend of mine buys and sells scooters and had a Lambretta on eBay £1250 buy it now. He showed me a text he received asking if he would take £400. I said reply yes, as a deposit.
