How does TradeMe selling lead to ‘Things are looking rosey for Technology companies.’?
$700million was a little low, IMHO – the rumor mill said Sam Morgan was after $1billion and I think it would be worth that. Don’t you?

Just general activity in the market (Aftermail, Trademe) shows that there is some interest. Also good that the activity is in our own backyard. People are feeling comfortable again buying technology companies after many getting burnt 5 years ago.
$583 dollars per customer seems like a pretty good number to me (number comes from Dave5′s calculation).
