Hi folks,

Some of you will have heard of Trademe.co.nz

It was started 7 years ago by then 23-years old Sam Morgan in his bedroom. 
It is the NZ equivalent of oBoy.

Today it was purchased from 30 years-old Sam Morgan for $700 million NZ 
cash, by Fairfax, a little media company that owns most of NZ and much of 
Australia media.

$700 million NZ represents 15.6 times the current annual profit.  Morgan 
says that represented a fair deal.

Fairfax will retain Morgan and his current staff to run Trademe

Cheers, Brian
