Hi everyone, here is a quote from the comtrader.com.au website prior to them taking the website down completely.
This is pretty tragic news for the computer enthusiasts of Melbourne. Hopefully someone will agree to take over the reigns and keep the swap meets alive as they have become a Melbourne Icon.

Max and Dorothea Morton, the owners of Technology Supermarkets Pty Ltd and Freetrader Publications Pty Ltd, have decided to forthwith cease trading the business of those companies, which are as follows:
Computer Swapmeets
The Australian Computer Trader website and magazine
Max and Dorothea have been receiving a significant amount of harassment by lawyers acting in relation to the sale of counterfeit goods at the swapmeets and by Computer Trader. They have found the allegations and threats of legal action against them to be very stressful and detrimental to their health and general well being. The allegations are untrue and the threats are without foundation.
Max and Dorothea have always been at pains to operate their businesses within the law and with integrity and transparency. They thank their staff and customers for their support over the past sixteen years.
This is pretty tragic news for the computer enthusiasts of Melbourne. Hopefully someone will agree to take over the reigns and keep the swap meets alive as they have become a Melbourne Icon.
