Old Friends has closed down
Today we switched off oldfriends.co.nz. It wasn’t a decision we made lightly, and we really appreciate the support you’ve given Old Friends over the past 13 years.
We’ve got some good news about the publicly available information though (e.g. photos, lost & found, notices). We’ve been working with the team over at the National Library and they’re in the process of archiving this information via an annual process called a ‘web harvest’. This means that information will remain available even after Old Friends closes. If you have any questions about the web harvest, please get in touch with the National Library.
Introducing the Trade Me Newsroom
We’re stoked to introduce you to the Trade Me Newsroom.
The Newsroom allows us to tell our stories in a way that we haven’t been able to before – things that might not make the grade for us to post as a site announcement, but may be interesting observations, some quirky research, or morsels of Trade Me-related tidbits.
Take a look around and let us know what you think. If you have any suggestions for content you’d like to see in the Newsroom, we'd love to hear from you. More...
New: Open Home Planner
Have a busy weekend of open homes ahead and not sure how you will make it to them all on time? We’ve just released the Open Home Planner on our desktop site to help you out.
Any properties in your Watchlist that have an open home time scheduled can be added to your plan for a particular day so that you can see your schedule and how you will get to each address. From the tool we will give you directions, journey times, and also point out any potential clashes you might have between open homes.
You can get to your Open Home Planner from the Trade Me Property homepage, or from a listing that has an open home time scheduled. More...
