Got asked by a client today if I could do the same as this and then they showed me the Trade Me listing that gave them the idea  :o :o

I realise that this is natural selection in operation but come on the board claim to be a consumer protection organization why aren't they protecting the consumer from themselves  ???

Well have a good laugh guys. If you want to see the listing for yourself http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/heating-cooling/heaters/gas/auction-698997776.htm

The board wouldn't do anything about this as it's not high profile and its not about competence.

I think you should report it to the Board - send them the link and see what happens.  We complained once before about a listing on Trade Me and they made Trade Me put up a note from the Board on the auction - so sometimes they come good - at least they have to be given the opportunity (I can't believe I sound like I am almost defending them).  All fairness - give them the opportunity and then if they don't do anything - hit them with everything you have.
Have you learned lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?  Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed the passage with you?  (Walt Whitman 1819-1891)  American Poet
