Hi Phil, you dont register with Gumtree to enquire you just fill in your email address or make a new one your provider must allow you to have more than one? I'm with virgin and I get 10, 8 of which I use and the other 2 I change when I have finished with them.
£9,500 seem very expensive even for a nice example like this one, I can't remember one going for more than £3,000.
best wishes

Hi Mick,I agree it seems a bit pricey,but it`s not too far from us,so may be worth a look.I`m not very computer savvy and wouldn`t know how to make a new email.I can`t figure why I can`t just contact the seller without all that fuss.

Hi Phil, I just tried to contact the seller "Paul" to get a phone number for you but the advert no longer exists ?.
but at that price you could buy a Wilderness Beaver on a trailer easy launch and recovery, Neil will tell you all about them when he returns from his holiday.
This Caracruiser may be a scam as I had a text telling me it was on "spock" for sale at £9500, I didn't reply!!
Best wishes

Regarding username on here ' Petronella ' - Caracruiser for sale for £10,500 in Derbyshire - Paul / Petronella

Friends of mine recently went to view a Caracruiser this chap was selling, In good order although not original, It was on ebay at the end of April for £3,250ono - Knowing this, and seeing her up for sale 2 weeks later for £9,500, they figured there would be movement in the price, after all there was very little change! Whilst rooting through the paperwork that was coming with the boat, there was a receipt for the sale of the caracruiser for £3,100. They offered £5,000.00 - The seller became unnecessarily rude when they stated that would be a £1900 profit, and then the owner went on to increase the price to £10,500 - This is for sale on Gumtree and Shpock as 'Cabin Cruiser' - Paul also has lots of 'Wanted' adverts for Caracruisers and Caraboats on this forum, on gumtree and elsewhere. I hope this is useful information.
