Tana Umaga Handbag Footage at Jolly Poacher

Written by Trade Me staff at 3:37pm, Tue 6 Jun 2006

We have removed the auction "Tana Umaga Handbag Footage at Jolly Poacher" after receiving several complaints and a legal opinion on this auction.

This footage was captured on Closed Circuit Television for reasons of security, not for the purpose of re-sale. We believe this breaches the privacy of the individuals in the footage and therefore the Privacy Act 1993.

We will shortly be updating our list of banned items to explicitly include Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage.

Hurricanes handbag auction

Written by Trade Me staff at 7:19pm, Sat 3 Jun 2006

The infamous handbag auction closed this evening at 7 pm, clocking its hit counter with well over 1 million page views. The unprecedented interest on a single auction even brought down our site for some members between 7 pm and 7:10 pm.

Despite a few miscreant bidders, the highest confirmed genuine bid was $22,750 by susie45 - which should provide its owner with plenty of beer money for next year's Super 14 final.

Maybe now poor Tana and Chris can put this unfortunate matter behind them...
