I never realised just how vulnerable you are purchasing items of GUMTREE. NEVER AGAIN.
I just paid $400 plus postage for a Elinchrom Strobe which was sold as in EXCELLENT CONDITION. The locking ring was broken and the strobe doesn't work properly. The seller doesn't want to know anything about it... Must of all happened in transport, he says. Sorry just bad luck. Wont have it returned or exchanged for another one. THROUGH GUMTREE YOU HAVE NO RECOURSE. YOU CANT WARN OTHERS. THE SELLER CAN BE AS DISHONOURABLE AS THEY LIKE. GUMTREE doesn't even have PayPal protection. AN EXPENSIVE LUCKY or NOT SO LUCKY DIP... BE WARNED.
