Default The weirdness of Gumtree

So why is it that 6-12 months ago we had a flood of CJ10s on gumtree and now, I mean right now, there are about 1 million CJ2/MB/Willys keeps on there and even more curious, about 4 or five Gladiator/J3000 trucks and three of them are Duallies (possible one of the rarest Jeeps in the world)? Could be because some guy with one down the back handed down from Grandad sees one on GT and says hmm I could sell that heep and make a buck.
Just thinking out loud.

No it's not just you Gaz, I noticed it too. By the way enjoyed following your build threads on CJ8.com, haven't been there for a while though

I know EXACTLY what you mean, Gazza.

Now I'm layed up and pennyless, all these goodies come oozing outa the bluddy woodwork.
It's depressing.

Had some savings, while I was working. Since being pensioned off, it has slowly been whittled away. Didn't realise to just recently, how badly.

No more dream for bruggzy.....

Might not get an MB or early CJ, but I'm still here. Nearly as good, eh........

I agree, when you have the cash there is nothing cooee.

Soon as your stash gets used there is a something to look at, eg the 3A in Port Augusta.
