Several over the years. Sold a Citroen BX (the ones where *everything on the car is driven by hydraulics - suspension, steering, brakes), very cheap for scrap as it hadn't moved for years but still had a decent engine and some good parts - also a major fluid leak you could see dripping as soon as you started the engine. Folk with Irish accents turn up - tried (and failed) to haggle on price - paid and drove it away - never heard from again.
Not Gumtree but I sold a set of cane conservatory funiture (2 seater sofa, 2x chairs, large glass topped coffee table) cheap when I was moving house near Blyth-Northumberland (details are important!), chap pays for it online then realises I'm nowhere near his home at Blyth-Nottingham. He then asks me if I can wrap it and arrange a courier. "NO !" A courier would have cost a lot more than the sale price, and how do you wrap a 4 ft glass table for posting ??
I grew up in a village called Oakley in Bedfordshire ages back I won something on eBay listed as collection only from Oakley... Oxfordshire
