    Blocking Gun City from TM

    Hi guys, wasn’t sure if the right thread to ask on but I know most of us visit here.

    Has anyone figured out a way to block GC on Trade me so you don’t see there adds/listings? An example I’ll give - Looking at used shotguns you have to sift through 400 odd listings of there’s to see 100 odd privately used shotguns for sale.

    Any help appreciated

    Good luck it won't work long term

    Multiple stores so you need to block them all
    Second hand goods seem to get around the blocks
    Some of the blocking functions have eroded over time on TME
    Why would TradeMe allow you to block one of their biggest clients ?

    I think some guys just get pissed off at scrolling through 1000 rifle listings and 75% are Gun City and apart from a few junk $1 listings the bulk of them are 200% or more, of market value

    But we still go back to the Gun City listings to compare the prices being asked by the private sellers as to whether we are getting a bargain or not....we on this forum are a minority as judging by the GC listings many still trade through their stores.

    I wonder if this thread will match the 300 pages on the same subject on the old 2005 era FnH forum?

    Would be nice if Trademe had better search functions so you could filter to your hearts content. You can blacklist the accounts but that removes them completely.

    It's not just the firearms part of TM that has turned this way. PC parts are the same, all just stores. Fuck all private sellers.

    Ffs guys time to move on, I'm locking this thread, it has been described multiple times here and in other threads how you can filter searches on trademe. If you have concerns or issues about a retailer take it up with them personally or on the phone this is not a soap box for you to continually slag off retailers no matter who they are
