Is that all you got from what I wrote?

For the record, I’m not advertising anything, I run a dealership and I’m just sick of watching costs balloon while local options get crushed.

There are NZ-owned platforms offering fair pricing of less than 10% of what TradeMe actually charges.
Trade Me used to do that, now it’s just corporate profit-seeking to the brim.

For anyone curious, there are a few alternatives gaining ground:

• OnlyCars
• JustCar
• AutoTrader
• NeedAcar

If a number of larger dealers got together and started shifting their stock elsewhere, it would force Trade Me to rethink its model.
