Some of you will have heard of Gumtree, some of you will not have. It is basically a free online classifieds site for the UK, and you can sell pretty much anything..... sounds like that craigslist that you US folks have... ;)

 

http://www.gumtree.com/

 

Anyway, has anyone noticed how many reps are sold on that place? just make a simple 'Rolex Submariner' search.....

 

Has a new rep marketplace been uncovered here?

 

Discuss.......:popcorn:

I noticed this a while ago whilst researching cheap gens...I once thought I was going to get a Grand Seiko for £110, but the guy's son advertised the wrong watch. :thumbsup:

I've used Gumtree a few times to sell items (not reps! :thumbsup:) but I've never thought to search for reps!

 

Maybe I'll check it out for a laugh! :woo:

I like the fact that the seller of the 'Rose Gold Hublot' mentions "unlike replicas" and "weight of titanium" in the same para.

Methinks me smells a rat.

Thanks Sean for enlightening me to Gumtree ('stead of those fuckin' annoying TV ads).

A lot go in the classified section of car forums as well, one particular VW based forum has loads of cheaper reps on at the moment.

Gumtree is owned by ebay I think. Anyway, its well known as a place for where dubious products are sold - i dont just mean reps, but genuine stolen goods be it electronics, bikes, jewelry or whatever. I've tried buying things from there and found some good genuine people to deal with but there's a lot of dodgy sellers there too. Very popular in London, not so much outside London.
