How hard is in London to sell a mountain bike

Two days ago I posted on Gumtree this advertising:


Mountain bike for sell.
£20 Manor Park, London




I sell mountain-bike. Small things need to be fixed since I kept it outside for a while. Visible close Manor Park train station. Text to 079******** or call same number after 6pm









Obviously no one texted or called, but just replied via email. Probably they had no money to call. The only one who called did it during my working hours. One even asked to me to delivery the bike in Harrow (check on Google Maps what would be the journey from Manor Park in Newham to Harrow). The following are the emails I exchanged with the apparently most serious person.

6am Is not a trouble to me. But that time I'm about to live home and if you are late I can't wait for you. And honestly I don't think the bike worth such a long trip

I waited you till 6:15. I imagine what happened. Yesterday you was fresh and said to your boss (your wife):Yes, Dear. Sure, Dear. As you say, My Dear. This morning you was half asleep and late and you said (just to yourself ): Fuck off, My Dear!
