Grind Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 i finally gave in and got my own trade-me account, after just using my old flatmates account for ages (and building up his feedback, the bastard) but the time has come for me to get me own. i felt like i was the last person in the world to get my account. does anyone here not have one? that shit is taking over. whats your biggest + best trade-me purchase? worst trade-me experience? best useless thing you've sold to make decent money? trade-me stories go here. and if you see something deace on trade-me that you think people might like attention drawn to, link it up in here.

Nato Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I bought a huge old power amp which broke a few weeks after I got it. The company who originally built it had gone out of business but re-opened a few years later. The plans were lost and the few technicians I took it to got lost in it's old-skoolness, hence it never got fixed. It's actually still sitting at an amp repair place in Grey Lynn, waiting for me to pick it up, which will cost me $30. Haha, not gonna happen buddy. Keep it.

Grind Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 here's me: best/worst experience- getting a negative feedback on my flatmates account also buying a brand new 1210 off impro ltd, paying the money, not hearing back from the guy for weeks, i worked for vodafone at the time and accessed his account, he had cancelled it! eventually went to the cops and told him he was about to get owned, and then a few weeks later the turntable randomly showed up. since then i've told people never to deal with impro best buy- wharfedale bookshelf speakers at cost price best sell- sold a record for $100, which i'd bought (2nd copy) for $10. (uncut - chinese silk - calibre rmx) here's a link to some old-school jungle for sale at the moment. trademe is very good for record shopping! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=1530647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Worst: i paid someone $30 + 50 for postage for a used door for my vr4. The dude was all the way down in Chch, and i deposited the money and never heard another word despite a few increasingly disgruntled emails to both the seller and the trademe staff (trademe never replied to me either!!) Best: I got a washing machine from trademe for $1 (go the $1 no reserve auctions). We turned up to buy it and we only had a $2 coin, and the guy didnt have any change so we got jacked %100 on the price Best money maker: I used to sell crappy G-Unit bling watches on trade me. I got them for ~$18 each (for 10) including shipping from someone on ebay in the states. On average i sold them for $50, and the most i ever sold one for was $85! mmm.. people are soo stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dold Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Just a few days ago I sold the head of my amp for 2 grand, doing the deal tomorrow morning. Then straight to the shop for some new decks (finally ). Bought my radical van from there couple years back. Hmm bought a few bits and pieces like albums, random music shite. I remember I saw a Mike Patton coffee mug so I bought it for like $10.. Lotsa lil shit like that. Havn't had a browse in a long time. Never had any beef with anyone on it yet, been happy trading so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignition Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, TradeMe is great for getting rid of old shit you'll never use. We decided to list a box of crap we were just gonna put to the dump, and ended up getting $50 for it. The buyer was stoked too!! To prove you can sell ANYTHING on TradeMe, me and my old flat mate decided to list a 6 metre piece of piping. Got $5 from a genuine buyer too (not to mention hundreds of fucking inane questions).
