1. Gumtree (UK No. 1 Classifieds website)

Gumtree.com

Unarguably the most popular Consumer to Consumer website  in UK. Has a neat interface and great categories which you filter by Locations, Price etc. Want to filter Ads by Apple Iphone 4G less than 200 pounds in NewCastle. Gumtree is not only one of the best option but actually big business in UK now. 

Gumtree is a Local Listing website so always:

  1. Strictly do Face to Face deals. Avoid all sellers who ask for PayPal or say their Mum got sick so they have to go Africa but will pay via PayPal. You will never get the money.
 2. Try contacting by phone. If the person is in UK, he should have a UK phone/mobile. This was you can avoid overseas fradsters.
 3. Use google maps to see how far the seller/buyer is. 

One to try: There can be some interesting things you can find on Freebies section i.e. furniture which other people don’t need. Once I found a 20 years olds Volvo S40, so watch out!

TipCreate an alert i.e. for Dell Latitude Laptop under 200 pounds in London. Gumtree will keep sending you alerts via email so you never miss the bargain.

Also to Consider: Cariglist.comGreat site especially across the other side of the Atlantic. The listing are much fewer  than Gumtree, but still worth a try.
