large image popout requires scrolling to see the whole pic, rather irritating.
Look at torpedo7.co.nz for a nice large image design.

Hey Marmoot, thanks for your comments. Regarding wide screen monitors, that's one of those tricky situations where we cant cater for everybodies monitors. No doubt one day soon enough they will be the standard format and we will rectify that. As far as navigation goes, well we only went live on May 9th, so the site is still a work in progress, we will do our best to fine tune it to what the majority of people want. Needless to say, we won't be able to please 100% of the people 100% of the time, but we'll do our best. Regarding promotion, we're on a limited budget, but we're confident that our favorable rates will do well for us and as a result, word of mouth will help us go far.
All comments and suggestions are taken on board so please keep them coming.

Hey Bend-it
that's definitely on the hit list of things to change. Please feel free to critique the site further, it's all appreciated.
And thanks to everyone else for your positive encouraging comments. It's greatly appreciated. Naturally there's also skeptics out there too, but hey, that's cool. We're under no illusion that we have a big mountain to climb, but we're not shy to give it our all and show that aussie owned company that we'll rise up to the challenge!
Go the mighty Kiwi!
Exactly why you should do small press release. It's 100% free and definitely gets attention (if they go through the editors' eyes).

The worst that can happen is they don't get published and you loose 10 minutes of your life.

I haven't looked at your site yet, but good on ya and all the best.
Might be worth contacting some job agencies, real etate agencies (they'll go ga ga for the idea of video), car dealers, salvage yards, manufacturers etc... perhaps just do a paper based flyer to your local ones and see where it goes from there...
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
yep, thats the reason i dont bother with zillion anymore... they never had anything interesting, and if they did, it was always brand new stuff. not good for someone who loves second hand stuff.
otherwise, site looks good. be nice to have some competition for tardme... their fees are beyond a joke!
i suggest you spend some time on both tardme general, and category suggestions. that way, you get to see exactly what changes people want tardme to do [mostly a wanted section] and can then "cater" to peoples tastes.
best of luck!
Just some stuff that I would have done... don't shoot, it's just what i'd do...
I'd make your logo a lot smaller as you're losing page real estate.
Auction of the day, hottest listings and recently listed change on a page refresh, it should be Auction of the second etc... What i would do in this case is have a horizontal marquee style of X Auctions of the Day and X items in vertical marquees for Hottest listings and latest listings.
I'd remove the Featured Items section and just replace it with a listing.
I'd remove the register icon from above Auction of the day.
I'd change some of the page layout and stylings, but that's your preference.
When using the menu on the left, i would expect to see listings in the centre and have the categories and sub-categories appear in a menu on the left, where the original menu was (just for navigation consistency).
Perhaps add a breadcrumb to navigate back up through the navigation structure.
I'd Remove the Buy tab as it's slow and might eventually slow things down even further when you're database loads up.
I'd get rid of the Show button on the buy page as it's not obvious, better off reloading the page when you change selection in the drop down.
I'd remove the red background icons from underneath the logo and move them to the right of your logo, but consolidate those that require an account into a My Account tab.
If you want red background icons underneath the logo, use them for quirky searches i.e. items with the highest hit rate, items that have had a price reduction, items that are under half price in comparison to the retail value, i dunno, but ya get the idea.
