What's Hot On Trade Me 22 February 2009 February 22, 2009

It’s always fascinating to watch bidders buzzing round and then suddenly setting their sights on one particular item. Gotta have it, even if it’s often somewhat frivolous, despite the fact that there’s supposed to be a recession in progress. This week, the hottest item on offer on Trade Me — as defined by numbers of bids – is the “Seadoo Twin Jet Jetbaot“. Yep, despite the typo in the title, the Seadoo has drawn (as we write this) 4082 pageviews, 335 bids and a top bid so far of $7000. Not bad considering this ten year old fibreglass motorboat started life as a $1 Reserve item.
Amongst the other popular paraphenalia of the week:
- A 1996 Chevrolet G30 Ambulance (1241 pageviews, 288 bids, top bid $4530), for the hypochondriac who has everything
- Projector Phone – Touchscreen Cell, the swiss army knife of cellphones, with a combination Cellphone, projector, text and multimedia messaging, MP3 and MP4 player (629 pageviews, 218 bids, top bid $285)
- Paslode Framing Nail Gun & Accessories, a couple of years old but still firing on cylinders (682 pageviews, 150 bids, top bid $360)
Of course, there’s loads more, but those were the ones that caught our jaded imagination …
