a Seller's alternatives

[Leed]

With every new owner of TM comes a need for shareholder profit from a saturated client base (if these are correct terminology). What that means when the small NZ market has peaked the only way to increase profit is to increase fees

please list the alternative sites people trade on

being a very infrequent seller, for vehicles
there is

Autotrader
Driven

what else? I came across BigMarket today.
Works lovely... but whats the point if the audience isnt there.

dont care if the marketplace is not free but feel 7.9% of TM is excessive.

Pfttt if I'm selling I want the maximum number of potential buyers to be looking at my machine so I get top dollar.

Judging by the stupid people there are on Facebook. multiplied by the number of stuid questions stupid people are inclined to ask.
Facebook buy and sell wouldn't be my first option
KB has a for sale section and its free, you just need to give me $5 upfront

TM:

" From time to time, we test new pricing on fees by raising the price or offering a discount. Price changes may run for a limited time, and be specific to a particular category, promotional extra, optional add-on, listing method or success fee.

We sometimes A/B test our pricing, so some members will be offered a different price to others"

TM is a failing company grasping at straws and no longer understands its business. This is also why they have offshoots in Peer to Peer lending and sell Insurance as side line ventures.
If you want a guaranteed revenue stream (TM), why not TM petrol or TM supermarkets?

back to vehicles...

You know the car you want to buy. Perhaps your third biggest criteria is in selection is colour.

lets ask how many years and millions of hours coding and there isnt a search dropdown for colour but there is for Petrol or Diesel, LPG, electric

Ive seen better sites overseas where the system analyses the colours in your photos and categorises it into a spectrum against others vehicles ... just as mileage is an important category.

It would be nice to filter by bikes that are road registered too. I'd be particularly useful when looking for some types of bikes.

Alas, that is the way of the world with Corporates. The three P's Profit, Profit, Profit.

I remember using Ebay a lot prior to Trade Me and it was great, these days just a lot of overpriced junk and over the top postal rates.

I suppose that's how MAGA works.

There is FB market place that appears to be getting more popular. From my perspective as a possible buyer off that medium it is too unreliable as a reply rate to a message question is 50/50.

As a dedicated place to sell a vehicle TM is still king.
