Appreciate your help Gary. Good to get your perspective. 

Look, again I ask about this? I followed the instruction above  " If the purchase is from a private seller, go to your Won Items https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/Buy/Won.aspx click the listing title, and print that page (or print as a PDF)."  This is all well and good, but it does not appear like a legitimate receipt. I don't want to print 3 pages of details for a small business expense. I just want one page with the info on it. Not sure why you cant have an actual tax receipt section. I have not made ping payments. 

Thanks for that James. Appreciated. It looks like there is a maximum of 45 days to print won items from private sellers? That seems quite short. I would have hoped it went back to the start of the current tax year?

Why would you need 2 accounts though? Maybe, simply because of that?

Well you are right Gyro. He has not sold it yet at that price. Let's see

I guess so Yvonne. I don't mine competing with someone else who is buying an instrument to play it. As an idealist I wish there were a place where people could buy items without competing with traders, but I am way too naive it seems in these matters. Thanks again for your feedback.

And then I go back to his site and note that he is in fact listed as In Trade! Oh well. Thanks for the info. I now know what type of bidders to watch out for.

Thanks for feedback people. Much appreciated
