Hi there,

We keep being told about great stories from people that have used Gumtree and it makes us very proud. So we thought we would go on a hunt for as many as possible and also give a prize to our favourite story that makes us smile the most!
We’re searching for the most unusual, interesting or inspiring examples and we’d love to hear from you about the posting that made a difference.

Without your all your experiences on the site, Gumtree wouldn’t exist, so to thank you for sending us your stories we’ve decided to give the best story and decided on an exclusive Gumtree beanbag. And they are seriously cool! So if you’d like to have a chance to win one, get telling about your Gumtree experiences.

So what we looking for?

There’s almost an infinite number of ways people use Gumtree. We don’t want to give you too many of our ideas, or tell you what makes a special find through Gumtree, instead we’d like to leave that up to you but here are a few ideas.

Something sought after, someone found, a problem solved, life made easier, an item picked up for free, that dream job or maybe a lifestyle or life change thanks to other people and services found through Gumtree?

So please email us your story with a bit about yourself, the post and how it made a difference to hello@gumtree.com or use the form below. Sorry to say, but this email is only for stories and we won’t be able to reply to any support queries through it. If you have a question or a problem with your posting/ another posting then take a look at our Help section.

We’re looking forward to reading your stories.
Bye for now,


The Gumtree Team
