I've also woken up to find I've bought a bass on eBay once that I didn't even like the look of.... I also didn't (at the time) play bass.
'Yes it is still available, but it is late and I'm heading to bed soon. Contact me again tomorrow and we can discuss it.'.
I almost never hear back from them.

My best ever gumtree sale was my acoustic I put on and someone emailed me within 20 minutes asking if they could pick it straight up, thinking they obviously knew a cracking deal when they saw it I met them an hour later - the guy didn't play guitar bought it as a gift, it was the first one that came up on gumtree and was on his way home from work.
I guess the flip side is to gas over something for a few days only for them to tell you it's sold and they forgot to end the listing!
Anyway, wondering if you would be interested in trading it for a set of garden furniture, barely used?
Perhaps, there should be a small charge for making enquiries, fully refundable upon purchase?
”30”
It transpired after some investigative work that he was offering me £30 for the item I had for sale. No money changed hands, but he received a completely free lesson on the art of the English language.
Forty two.

'Is your item still for sale, please tell me your best price and I will arrange a courier'. The English was more broken but I digress...
Naturally I replied
'Yes the giraffe is still for sale, still has a limp though'.
They replied asking for my Paypal address. Classic Gumtree.
FB has a very useful feature of just swiping left to delete a Marketplace conversation which i only noticed recently.
Me: "Hi, would you trade for a Mex Fender Telecaster?"
Him: "Great Telecaster but I already have one, thanks for the offer."
Me: "No probs, what sort of trade are you looking for? I've got Fender, Squier, Vintage, Ibanez, Washburn for trade"
[no reply]
Me: "Let me know what sort of thing you'd be interested in as a trade and perhaps cash your way"

Ad was still up for weeks after. I was really interested in the guitar too!
So you can guess where it goes from there.
