anyone use these guys?
they claim they are getting 1500 new members each week.
they dont charge commission to sell & you get gallery for free.
unlike trademe who take 7.5% & charge you extra for gallery & 29 to 39 dollars to sell a vehicle.
in the US there is a 2nd largest site after ebay, called Craigslist, which is quite popular.
so it will be interesting to see how this site goes.

I would use it if there was some weight behind it... say SpankMe banned links to trademe listings, and only accepted Sella ones being posted on this site, for a start.

Yep Craigslist. Totally free and it works. You can buy, sell ot trade pretty much anything except for (shame) guns. Some good RnR and subject forums too.

Good idea banning trademe links. More people that use sella the better.

Yeah I have used sella in the past,been registered there for a while,the problem is too many people using TM still.

**YellowDog** · 17th June 2011, 16:46

Sella's OK I suppose. I've been a member for awhile however not ever bought or sold anything.

I don't really like their layout and don't find it as user friendly as Trademe.

User Friendly = What you are used to

**brett7777** · 17th June 2011, 16:51

Im thinkin that if they got some more media attention it might take off more? like tv news or similar
apparently the owners of trademe are thinking of selling it

**brett7777** · 17th June 2011, 17:17

anyway, I have just listed a bike on sella FOR FREE & put a sella link on here, in the online trading section. I haven't listed it on TM, I wanna see how it'll go on sella

Fucks Sake.

Yet again, Bikers wanting to BAN Things - censorship, and enforce their viewpoints/wishes on others.

Its a fucking free country.
Be thankful our gubbermint et al realise its a free country, and we can freely ride bikes. And post shit on forums.

& create a website that creams 7.5% commission off of what the population are selling to each other

Sella are caught in a Catch 22 situation.

Because far fewer people use the site than TM, the people that list items for sale list them for higher prices because they know that bidding wars are highly unlikely to eventuate. Because there's not the same bargains to be had, fewer people check the site out.

For it to work, more sellers need to accept that they may only realise a minimum amount on their auctions and list their items at a figure closer to a bargain. Trouble is, no-one wants to do that.

Trademe - the modern day version of a 2nd hand shop? Said shop used to make 100% profit. The 'free sites' still have overheads, which are paid for by advertising....but advertising wont work unless people actually click and buy. Which in NZ.....wont happen soon.

So guess we have to pay the middleman 7.5% ??
/cry /cry, people are making money......so unfair in this great Welfare state we live in.

**jellywrestler** · 17th June 2011, 18:26

the place is full of spam, ie 100 listings for the same thing differnet models.
how can you enjoy that, and want to stay there????

**imdying** · 17th June 2011, 18:39

Yeah I see that Race Evolution have their cheap gook shite strewn across it with every bloody model attached to every listing, effectively fucking the search engine.
