What's Trade Me?
RE: Gone. - Oh_hunnihunni - 15-11-2021
Unexpected benefit - fewer tabs open on my tablet. Less browsing designer clothing listings...
RE: Gone. - nzoomed - 15-11-2021
And they already have members on there pointing to that other place I won't mention here....
RE: Gone. - Oh_hunnihunni - 15-11-2021
Good luck to them. We are lucky that we have a couple of good alternatives and good people on both. I have made my experience with NZI very clear, and none of it was down to the membership.
Trust is a really important quality in our online world, once lost it is difficult to regain. I hope past mistakes will not be repeated, and those who support the site have no reason to feel unsafe. Because we all deserve that respect in exchange for our contributions, whatever level they might be.
It is that social contract that Trade Me has decided is of no importance as they remove the boards. And I suspect that choice will have consequences for their bottomline. Meantime we have this place thanks to nzoomed and the team, it will be interesting to see what it becomes as it grows.

I guess that's what big corporations do over time, it originally started as an online trading community and once Sam sold it, things very quickly turned into a profit generating corporation with huge fee hikes, etc.
