Misleading gumtree ad

[KZOR]

Be careful of just falling for a "good buy" which could later bite you in the arse.
A guy is advertising a Tugboat mech but never indicates that it is a clone and someone could easily be fooled in thinking he/she just got a descent bargain.
There is a chance of course that he himself might not be aware that it is a clone.
I will talk about this in my live tomorrow evening and how to go about spotting the difference.
Please do some research before finalizing the deal.

I steer clear of gumtree anyway. Dodgy place that is.

I fully agree with @zadiac. I've heard of many a deal ending up to be a scam where the "seller" receives payment but never sends the product to the buyer. This actually happened to a friend of mine, so it's not only "hearsay". Personally, I would rather buy second hand vaping gear from a reputable member on the forum than Gumtree or the likes.

I will NEVER buy anything from gumtree unless i can physically drive and meet up with the person.
