Gumtree Good Finds

At Gumtree, we help make ‘Good Finds’ happen. From great deals that save you a few extra pounds, to finding a buyer who will enjoy something as much as you did. A Good Find can be unexpected, meaningful, practical or rare, or maybe just exactly what you wanted: a wardrobe, a sofa, a record or room mate or 4 wheels and keys to the open road.

We help make good finds happen because we believe everything can find a new purpose.
