I've bought and sold a few things on Gumtree and think it's great. They have heaps of different categories for stuff for sale or trade or even free stuff and jobs. I love the convenience of it and everything's really cheap.

I have bought and sold on Gumtree so much and even sold our house through the real estate section.It is free to use and you get 10 free photos as well.Be careful though about people coming to your house and make it daytime only.

Gumtree IS amazing.

It's important to take precautions when using it, like not paying for things over the phone or internet like you would on Ebay or wherever. It doesn't have buyer protections, it's more like a classifieds news paper of old.

But seriously. The bargains! Great furniture! Clothes! Cheaper rentals than going through an agent! (But make sure you know your rights when signing privately). Cars! Art and antiques!

I'm sure you can think of things to search for that I haven't listed yet. Gumtree is a great place to do it.

Also, it is a good place to find a share house or a house mate, although sharing with strangers is a funny thing...

Approximate cost: $1-10000

I have used Gumtree a few times to sell some household items with great success. The people I dealt with were courteous and we were both happy with the outcome of using Gumtree. I will absolutely use it again when cleaning out my cupboards!

I really enjoy selling on Gumtree. I have sold a doll's pram, caravan accessories, trees from the garden that are not needed, ornaments etc all at different times. The people who have bought have all been lovely to meet too. This site is a win win for all parties to the transaction. Just be careful of the scam emails but so long as you just give selected info there is no problems at all.

Much better than eBay, no fees to sell stuff and they don't take a cut of the selling price. Put an old pram on online at 10am and sold it by 3pm!!

I cant tell you the number of items I have bought and sold on this site and have never been unsatisfied.
Its a quick and easy process- search the site for what I'm looking for and then contact the seller and arrange a time to view or purchase and likewise with selling its just as easy. So much to choose from and at a fraction of the cost.

This site is brilliant. I've been trying to find a chair more recently and regularly check back to see what's available in my area. Well organised, big range of categories and I've been really happy so far. I haven't tried selling anything through there myself so I'm not sure how that end of things works but for purchases I like the setup

I find this site is great for second hand local buys, always finding great buys.

The outlay of website is good and search bars really help for finding what you want within the area you want!

I have sold a few odd items on gumtree, easy to use and post ads quickly.. with good results. Posting a basic ad is FREE which is amazing!
Tops!

I had never used Gumtree before and couldn't believe how easy it is. Using the app on my iPad I was able to quickly load up all our family's school books to be sold, including photos. Have sold so many in a short space of time yet noticed other people's books advertised on eBay & other websites aren't moving. AND IT'S FREE TO ADVERTISE ON GUMTREE!
Tip: only do face to face selling with cash transactions as there is no PayPal & postage not worth the hassle & risk of not being paid.
