Welcome to AP from a fellow newbie with similar story, even the city!
There is a GNR advertised on Perth gumtree. It is located just down the road from me but it's not my sort of machine and way out of my price range!
I thought the guy was dreaming but maybe not? 

Yeah I saw that on gumtree as well  In the words of michael caton "Tell him hes dreamin" lol. Almost 11K is a bit much even if it is good nick.

I think I will probably be looking at paying around the 2-3K mark which will hopefully get me one that needs a bit of a clean and a repair.

Cheers for the comments guys
