Some idiots will buy anything form an auction providing you have given a good enough reason to sell it. And then again some are just frigging perverts!

Trademe is a true success story in our country. Back in 1999 a young guy named Sam Morgan borrowed $600, of a mate, Sam a programmer created the Trademe website (first online auction site in NZ) and had 3 working around the clock running it. In 2006 he sold Trademe for 700 Million to Fairfax Australia.
