    Default Need help! (with room / trade me)

    Hello everyone,

    Starting from July I'll be in New zealand for 7 months. I'll be doing an internship at the Otago university in the area of sport physiology.

    I've searched for a room on trade me and I tried every way to get an account but it just won't work if you don't allready live in NZ. So I was hoping someone with an account could help me. at this link: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Flatmates-w...-367252232.htm you can find the room I would like the user name is lbillows . Maybe someone could give him my email adres: remco.88@hotmail.com or give me his email adress so I could contact him myself.

    If anyone has other suggestions or maybe a room available for rent starting july I would be very happy to hear it.

    Greetings from the Netherlands,

    Remco

    Way topo early to loook for places. NZ then the rental / purchase process of houses takes less than a fortnight, so it all tends to be a bit more last minute. We went through this a few months back.

    Cant the Uni help out closer to the time?

    That depends. Here it is advisable to look a wee bit earlier than just two weeks.

    E.g. accommodation for the Summer semester is normally organised by the end of November - or at least in December. You will get something later but often not what you wanted or where or to the price.
    Very few students start in winter. So I am not sure about that time line.

    Remmmco there are also a few agencies more or less specialising on students.

    Thank you all for your reactions.. I understand that it is to soon to search for rooms. Indeed most rooms on trade me are available asap.
    Thank you Moses, I hope I hear from them else I'll just keep a watchful eye on trade me for rooms for July and ask you if you could send them my info again.

    Default Trademe

    No worries. I was lucky enough to get a TM account from the UK before they changed the rules bout being in NZ and was thru Trademe we got our first place so it is do-able.

    Hi guy's,

    I haven't received any reaction yet. But there are some nice new rooms available. I was wondering if anyone knows a way for me to get a trademe account. Perhaps using someone else's address?

    it's IP address checked, so without a lot of hassle not that easy. Even once I got to NZ then because I'd previously signed up in the UK mine was blocked, so had to email them and then someone phoned me to unblock it.

    What is about offers via other web sites? Is there nothing suitable for you?

    Mmmh IP address checked! Darn. Allright then. I'll just post here again when I want to contact someone on trade me.

    Which other web sites are you talking about Ralf? I haven't found any good once yet. Suggestions?
