The weird and wonderful things about online trading
Hi Auckland,
What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?
A 1950s aircraft fuselage could be yours after a Waiuku resident listed their "old warbird" on Trade Me.
The Royal New Zealand Bristol Freighter flew as part of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was then purchased and shipped to Whenuapai-Ardmore in 1978 and then sold on to a Waiuku local. The sellers purchased the land at a later date, and thus the plane.
The listing starts at $18,000 and at time of publishing, has been added to almost 900 users' watchlists.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring they have no access; under-age children and their parents wouldnβt be penalised for breaching the age limit.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
