    The guy who started this thread is long gone.

    He only stuck around for one day. I'm guessing he applied for his refund and we'll never see him again.

    Well what ideas do you guys have? We could hire a container and split the cost. It would cost us almost nothing to ship stuff to NZ compared to what we're all paying by air freight.

    Problem is if we set up a buyers group: we'd all be selling the same stuff on trademe, and cutting each others profits down.

    We'd have to look for a supplier that sells a wide range of goods. You people have any ideas?

    I agree that we will be cutting profits if we bring in the same items. But if we are all importing from the same country we can organise a container with a shipping company and split the space. I mainly import from China. Is anyone keen to do this?

    I import from the US :?

    Well I'd be willing to compromise and go with China if that's what most people prefer. Finding decent suppliers in China is very difficult though.

    If we import from the US we'd have lots of reputable suppliers to choose from.

    Any other opinions?

    why can't we just sell all the goods on trademe under one name and then split the profits instead of competing. Then we can gain a monopoly of the market.

    That's an idea worth considering.

    Potential benefits:
    * Massive decrease in shipping costs - goods won't need to be shipped all around New Zealand once they arrive, they can just stay in one place and get sent direct to the customer.
    * If we pool our money we can buy more expensive stuff than we could by ourselves. Like a helicopter! Ok maybe not a helicopter, but you get my point.
    * We wouldn't have to worry about dividing up the space in the container equally and all that logistical stuff.

    Potential problems:
    * Trust... Someone has to be in charge of the trademe account and the shipping etc. That person will have to be very honest, because they will be handing out the profits.
    * If we start seriously importing in a big way won't we be hit by tariffs? That probably wouldn't happen if we all did our own seperate things.
    * We'd all have to agree on what to buy.
