Gumtree is host to so many ads posted across South Africa and the catchphrase 'Put it on Gumtree' has become famous amongst the many buyers and sellers who use it. Everyone could use the extra cash in their pockets.
How quickly an item sells is usually down to buyer preference and being priced just right. The popularity of air fryers and generators/inverters are an example of fast-selling items. Even if something is a bit pricey, the seller is always willing to negotiate to make the sale happen.
There are many reasons why people look for deals on Gumtree, but the most common is to 'flip it.' This is when someone buys a product (that often needs repair or maintenance) for dirt cheap and makes a profit by selling the refurbished item(s) again.
