I recently advertised some styling sections on gumtree. A man came down to look at them, and bought them. He paid, but asked to store them in my salon till he could organise a van. All fine.
He then proceeded to tell me he would buy my salon chairs (not for sale!) for ten pounds. I laughed and said no chance. Off he went.
Well today, two of them arrived to pick up the sections. "You promised to sell me the chairs for ten pounds," he shouted in my face. He then proceeded to grab me and shout in my face when I said no. I pulled away, told him to take the mirror sections and leave, or I'd call the police. He stood looking menacing, said he wasn't leaving. I called the police.
After getting off the phone, he grabbed me again. I got away, and ran next door. He followed me in, and barricaded the door. My shop was open, with Ted the dog in there. The lady in the estate agents dragged him off me. I ran back to my shop.
The police arrived, calmed them both down, waited while he took the sections and left.
Takes a lot to scare me, but I'm really shaken up. Just be careful selling to people online, theirs some nasty people out there.
