Bike Hub: 2019 Year in Review

[Pure Savage]

More than half billion rands worth of stuff pushed through classifieds in a single year..... a small slice of a huge pie is a mighty fine meal..

Must be all the mint deals in the classifieds!!

That's the total value of items listed since 1 January 2019. We don't have data on what % of that figure is actual sales, but from past surveys we'd expect it to be 40-60% of that amount.

I guess it is hard to properly put a figure on this. So if someone lists a R100k+ bike(and there have been a few this year) and it doesn't sell. Ad expires, the bike sits in their bike room a few more weeks/months and then they decide to re advertise. I assume this then adds another R100k+ to the total.

OK I can't keep this in any longer. The hyphen in KwaZulu-Natal is there to join two separate words. It's like Stratford-upon-Avon, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, X-ray or Sir Mix-a-Lot. So please put the hyphen between the Zulu and the English word, not in the middle of the Zulu word ("Kwa-Zulu") because that does not make sense. There, now you'll remember. I hope.

I see your post never went unseen. The article has been edited.

I think with that amount in the classifieds, maybe its time for admin to take a handling fee and work as the middle man. Once the buyer is happy with his purchase monies get paid over to the seller.....

Interesting to see that gauteng /western Cape switch between users and classifieds. More wheeler dealers in slaapstad?
