It seems that the Trade & Exchange (formerly buy sell & exchange) magazine is closing down its magazine and moving all its efforts to online only. Todays issue will be the print last issue for sale.

Yup, Ragnor's onto it.. they totally missed the boat to compete in that space I'm afraid. The current website is also pretty awful. Personally, I doubt they'll last very long.

They watched Trademe come along and steal their business - their response was a terrible web presence and delayed listings to ensure people still purchased the paper.

Business model adaptation fail.
