Trade Me is the largest Internet-auction website operating in New Zealand. Managed by Trade Me Ltd., the site was founded in 1999 by New Zealand entrepreneur Sam Morgan, who sold it to Fairfax in 2006 for NZ$700 million. Trade Me was publicly listed as a separate entity on 13 December 2011 under the ticker "TME". Trade Me Ltd also operates several sister websites including Find Someone, Old Friends, Travelbug, Safe Trader and Holiday Houses.
As of August 2015, Trade Me's website is the fifth most visited in New Zealand and is ranked 1,844th globally according to Alexa Internet. In 2006, the group of sites collectively generated over 60% of all web traffic originating in New Zealand. In a country with a population of 4.6 million, the Trade Me site has, as of August 2015, 3.7 million active members.As of June 2015, an average of 878,000 people visit the site each day.
Participating traders primarily use New Zealand's banking system to settle payments, although Trade Me now offers sellers the ability to accept credit card payments by 'Pay Now'. Australian sellers must have a New Zealand bank-account, while sellers from other countries are not allowed on the site without special approval, which reduces the potential for fraud. Many buyers pay cash on pickup with larger items — probably partially due to the relative concentration of the New Zealand population in a relatively small number of urban areas.
Trade involves the transfer of the ownership of goods or services from one person or entity to another in exchange for other goods or services or for money. Possible synonyms of "trade" include "commerce" and "financial transaction". A network that allows trade is called a market.
The original form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. Barter is trading things without the use of money. Later one side of the barter started to involve precious metals, which gained symbolic as well as practical importance. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and later credit, paper money and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade between more than two traders is called multilateral trade.
Trade exists due to the specialization and division of labor, in which most people concentrate on a small aspect of production, trading for other products. Trade exists between regions because different regions may have a comparative advantage (perceived or real) in the production of some trade-able commodity, or because different regions' size may encourage mass production. As such, trade at market prices between locations can benefit both locations.

Yesterday we were talking about the 'BUGGER' number plate – well, bidding has already topped $25,700 on Trade Me. So, what are the tricks of actually winning an auction? Michael Carney has quite literally written the book on the secrets to winning a TradeMe auction "You are not meant to bid at all until the last 10 minutes of the auction. You figure out what is the most you are prepared to pay, and then you put that in as an automatic bid." Watch the full interview with Michael Carney.

Listen to the tracks that rolls, watch the mic as it glows
The lethal weapon got you trapped in this dance mode
Ice-T's throwin' words at you like dodge ball y'all
You gotta move get hit, if you get hit, you fall, no jokin', no boastin' and no bragging
Grip the mic like a .44 magnum, dust you off if you suck 'cause I ain't
You want me to write soft rhyme's, sorry, I write the rhythm
