Never heard of them (too far away for me), but many are struggling currently. And TradeMe is also slowly killing their trade as any "real" dismantler pays rent, power, phones, income tax, GST, wages etc. Where the TM ones have no overheads, pay no tax or GST and have the whole country to sell too.

I had an email from them (I assume it's the same place, not being a timaruvian) about some parts just this morning, so I'd say they have either moved or perhaps gone part time or something, email address is: tmcw - at - xtra
