Browsing trademe and noticed this and thought I would post it here. Basically a senior network/systems engineer is whoring himself out (IT services wise) on trademe for a $1 reserve. Pretty good deal if you are an IT manager and need something done that you've been putting off for a while. I guess it's only 8 hours work though but yeah could still be useful for someone out there.

It's not for me... but it is a friend lol :-) I do think that it could be really useful for someone on these boards, but don't want to sound like i'm advertising.

Feel free to delete the thread if you feel it's advertising.

Established users are welcome to use our Offers and Wanted forum. There's nothing wrong with that. But when someone writes "I came across this..." or "I just found this..." it's a big RED FLAG that tells everyone "SPAMMER" because that's what they write..

Alittle deceitful don't you think?

You would've been much better going down the path, "hey everyone my friend is looking for work..."
