Having watched this site grow over the years it has an amazing reach to motorcyclists in NZ. These days nearly all bikers I come across know about the site.
I think it is a about time Kiwibiker launched a subsite, something like "auctions.kiwibiker.co.nz" I know Mr spankme has a huge amount of technical nous & could do it. Also from reading the post on "which OS", there are a lot of other computer geeks on this site.
This is supposed to be (or was), a not for profit site. Selling fees from auctions could help fund site bandwidth fees & other site costs to help keep it up & running.
I use Trademe mainly for buying and selling Motorbike bits & am sick of all the profiteering that is occurring there now. $50 to put up a bike add or auction, that made me real mad:argue:
Judging by the number of people here that I have linked with Trademe adds, there are a lot like me; getting their M/C info here & buying & selling on Trademe. Face it the selling section on this site sucks. I don't mind paying selling fees as long as the selling site is run professionally & there is an audience & I am not being ripped. What better place to sell M/C stuff than here!
I am sure that kiwibiker could pull most of the motorcycle related sales from Fairfax (or whoever it was that bought Trademe) if a Kiwibiker auction site was up & running. Just an info e-mail out to all members announcing the new facility would get a large NZ motorcycle audience using it.
How's about it, what do you lot think? & can you convince (his divine shadow)... I know he's a busy boy.
