Trademe community closing down

So what it cost a mil a year to run, you're making 100 mil from us, there is a bit of 'you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours' goes on. In small business that could mean you buy something from me and i'll buy something from you.

You support each other, you are alive because of each other etc. NOT Trademe, they are running backward for some reason and the only ones to really suffer are you and i, but especially the sellers, they, I believe are the most disrupted out of everybody on Trademe.

I don't dislike many businesses out there but I think I can safely say I really dislike Trademe for what they have done to us. As a community they have splintered us and broke us up. They think they can make more money from us. I think it'll be the opposite.

I am just sad over the whole saga. The place didn't need fricken overhauling.
I am a seller, and to be honest, this past week in sales has been very good.

I guess at the end of the day, TM are a business, and have to keep their shareholders happy (as does any big business), and the messageboards were basically a pain in the backside for them. They put it in the 'too hard' basket.

As for the overhauling, well, that is a shambles. They've made something that was easy (albeit still alot of issues, especially in the searching) into something that is difficult to navigate. I rarely buy on TM, so that part isn't an issue for me personally.

I do think, that in the future, that nzoomed will bring in a buy/sell section. That other site has one apparently, so no reason why he can't, I suppose. I'm sure I've read that he has been looking at that, though don't quote me.Smile

Meanwhile, this site is building slowly. Slow and steady wins the race.

Just enjoy what we do have. Thank goodness that we have it. There was never any thought of me going over to that other place, so I'd have been lost without tmmb. I do enjoy it here.
