Hi,
I am getting a new boat auction online that is based here in New Zealand but will allso cover most other countries.
Its being setup to buy and sell boats and all boating related services as well as holiday packages, fishing charters and whatever else can be included to get boating people worldwide more interrested in what we hav here in New Zealand.
it would be a big help if you could include us in your directory.

Cheers, Gav.

You know, One thing I hate is when people put up lists then can’t be bothered keeping it upto date. It really is pathetic. Thinking you are a hero to the world with such lists, maybe so if the information was correct and UPTO DATE. As it stands you are just some imbecilical, half witted idiot waffling on about something you obviously know nothing about. Get it up to date or take the site down.

  I completely agree with you Paul, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
  
  The half wit reference hurt me deeply but I shall survive.

        Well. Depends on your definition of alive and well, I wouldn’t say 3000 listings on the who site is booming. Just a matter of time until Sheldons needs to update and move it south.

      Thanks Craig 🙂 I’d try them all and find one that is close by. The further you have to travel to view/test-drive the less bargaining power you have!

Paul S on 20 November 2011 at 10:02 pm said:

Still not up to date… suggest you put a date when you last visited… kiwibidz for example has no virus on site and alot of the dead ones should be removed completely. No dead ones showing means I won’t visit them to see if you are right 🙂

Now how do I persuade you to drop the aussie owned sites like trademe and sella to the bottom of the list. Trading in NZ but not true kiwi sites

  Haha I agree Paul, no underarm bowlers allowed…. its not a kiwi site when fairfax media own 51% of trade me, and most of the public shareholders for trade me are australians… hmmmm not very kiwi now is it…

so it does not exist yet? so why giving it a plug? you have shares in it? 🙂

Paul S on 10 November 2012 at 12:21 pm said:

Hmmm his is getting even more interesting, Now I really do think that you have shares in the site wheedle, even though it has major problems with the script and legalities you still put it at number 2 AND it is not even trading… how much did they pay you to fiddle the numbers?

kiwibidz is not dead, just undergoing a makeover I am told, I am also told it will be alive again this weekend. And just as a point of interest even though you keep plugging it SELLA is dead !!

Looks like Wheedle is back up and running again, and it looks not too bad. Perhaps give them another chance, seeing as they are kiwi owned and operated and all.

Hi,
As pointed out earlier, Sella has changed to commercial ads only, i.e. you and me can’t advertise there. It’s now almost free of any content… you could call it almost dead, as in zombie.
Cheers,
Peter.

Greetings Sheldon,
I have quite a few DVD’s and boxed sets that I have brought over the past few years from Overseas. Would like to sell them but most NZ sites will not allow because they have no NZ Classification Labels. Any ideas on what can be done or online options.

Regards,

Ken

BeQuick is my own creation, a non-auction, fixed price only site. It’s been around for some years now.
Winna (or Wacko.nz) is a heavily modified version of a free auction site called webid.
I also run the NZ Cellphone and Website Directory, the NZ Facegroups Directory, (I’m not allowed to say fac.bo.k due to copyright) plus quite a few more sites of my own creation. Most are not flash, but they serve the purpose.
Never heard of this site until searching for something else. Seems you never heard of mine either, although some have been around for many years.

When are you updating your list?
My sites (I have several) have been around for many years, have been mentioned on here, yet are still not listed. Nor are several others I know of. Claiming ALL the sites are listed is going a bit far.

Where is http://www.BeQuick.nz
Where is http://www.Winna.nz
Where is http://www.buy-sell.co.nz (now at BeQuick)

Sheldon,
It was nice to talk to you. Be sure to check out http://www.postanote.co.nz and give us your thoughts. We are basically New Zealand’s version of a moderated Gumtree or Craigslist and growing rapidly here on the South Island.

Why do all these NZ trading sites keep dying?

We all know that Trademe has had a monopoly for far too long and that competition is good for the consumer. It is definitely possible to design and develop a much better trading site than they offer. Just look at the big trading sites overseas and you will begin to realise how bad Trademe is.

Is it because new sites are caught in a catch 22 with not enough sellers and buyers to warrant switching from Trademe?

- Nathan on 11 April 2016 at 2:21 pm said:
  
  You are correct Matt, you have to have a long runway. It’s taken us 2.5-3 years to hit our stride at http://www.postanote.co.nz. Thats a lot of grinding it out hoping to get over the hump. That being said, we are not an auction site, but rather a free classified site like gumtree or craigslist, so it’s a bit easier for us as we then do not have to compete head on.

I have been searching for a specific spinning wheel, that has appeared on TradeMe 3 times now (various sellers) But I am in USA and not allowed to join. One currently is even offered BIN, but I have been unable to even contact the seller to see if they would be willing to sell and ship to the US
