On the subject of Adverts.ie - or rather Done Deal in this case, my brother told me a great one a few years ago.
Lad that works for him was heading off to Australia and started to sell some of his tools, motorbike etc. Shit you can't take with you basically.
Did a deal on one of his bikes with a person online. The buyer asked if the bike could be brought around to his house.
"I have no way of getting home if you buy the bike." said the seller "Could I meet you somewhere?"
Arranged a meet. Buyer never turned up leaving the other hanging around until he got pissed off and drove home. Later that night, he got a text;
"Sorry bud. Was on the way when I met someone, went for a few pints, got sidetracked. Still interested."
Now - I would have told this langer to fuck off. But... dollar signs and the move to Oz was only 2 weeks away.
"OK. Same place to meet?"
"Gimme your address, bud - I'll call tomorrow night."
And that was the last he heard from this lad til he got a text from his landlord saying that some bollix had turned up steaming drunk and started abusing the people renting the house because they had no motorbike to sell him.
"I'm in Australia."
