Abstract
Online auctions are an accepted way of doing business in 2009, as demonstrated bt the success of sites such as Trademe in New Zealand, and EBay in Europe. These websites are examples of how technology is changing the way people communicate. Security issues have been alleviated by advances in software, and trading on-line appears to be a popular pastime. At the beginning of 2009 newspaper and television stories were published about a farming on-line stock auction site. These stores led us to wonder how a traditional group such as farmers would respond to and use new technology. We were interested in researching user attitudes towards on-line stock auctions from a communication perspective.
