About TradeIt
So
what is TradeIt all about?
TradeIt.co.nz is a free information site designed
to benefit the growing TradeMe and online auction community in New Zealand.
We feature numerous articles, reviews, videos and links on TradeMe, related
topics and the online auction phenomena!
How did this website come about?
We have been avid trademe members for years and are really passionate
about the site. We've watched TradeMe's progress closely and have been
interested in everything we could learn about online auctions around the
world. With so many members, we thought there would at least be one main
website with good information about online auctions, TradeMe and its history...but we couldn't find anything. We've picked up a lot of knowledge and
insights ourselves, so we thought, why not create it ourselves!
In our research we discovered more and more about TradeMe's inspiring
story. Find out more in the History section. We encountered a thriving
secondary market that has developed alongside TradeMe. There are some
very innovative companies that support traders with a broad range of services
from software to help with relisting auctions, to consignment sellers
who will sell your stuff on trademe for you! More exciting examples can
be found in the Trader Services section.
In the media we are now starting to hear more of traders making serious
money with trademe businesses. We thought it would be interesting to delve
into this "underground" world to highlight the successes of
traders and perhaps inspire others to consider the same. We also have
a special Selling Tips section for the sellers with useful information from top trademe sellers.
Its interesting to see the effect online auctions have had on the NZ culture
with around 1/3 of the New Zealand population a member of the site. Some
say TradeMe is the country's largest garage sale - in online format! The
TradeMe messageboard is always a hive of activity 24 hours a day, and
a snapshot of public sentiment in good times and bad. On the flipside
there is even a TradeMe Addicts Anonymous group online!
Logging onto TradeMe has become a daily way of life for us, and hundreds of thousands of other members. So why not have a place where we can learn more about the site! We are here to help, educate and support the TradeMe community. We aim to document lots of interesting TradeMe-related articles, videos, links, facts, and info on complimentary products and services. If you'd like to learn more about TradeMe, its culture and its history - this is the place to be!
We hope you enjoy the site! : )
