Is this a clever ploy that I'm missing?

If he's after £650 and wants extra advertising for free then he has got it. And if it sells for £720 he's covered the fees

I always list for more on Ebay than I do on Gumtree and here both to cover the fees and because I am a chancer

Better that way than the other - I hate it when someone lists something here for substantially more than its BiN price on eBay.

And yes, there's a newbie here on Basschat doing precisely that right now.

<cynic> maybe he would rather it sells on Gumtree so that the buyer doesnt have all the Ebay protection that they seem to get i.e. Paypal always finding in the buyers favour in a dispute</cynic>
