# JamesEdition

JamesEdition is a global online luxury marketplace with headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The website has 15 different categories. These are: real estate, cars, jewellery, jets, helicopters, watches, yachts, extraordinaire, motorcycles, lifestyle & collectibles, residential developments, experiences, yachts and vacation rentals.
Sellers can post their offers to JamesEdition and will be published after editorial review. It is an upmarket form of a classified advertising portal. The strict curation of all listings have resulted in several media coverages. Some listings have been posted to Top Gear and The Guardian websites. It has been referred to by some as Craigslist for the rich or even "Craigslist for billionaires". The advertised goods are so rare that the website has received regular coverage by other websites, print magazines and TV stations.

## History

The company was founded 2008. It changed its name from JamesList to JamesEdition in February 2013, after becoming the defendant in a lawsuit by Craigslist in June 2012. In 2016 the company changed its shareholders structure, appointed a new CEO and moved the company from Sweden to the Netherlands.
In 2017, it was reported that JamesEdition would expand its business model beyond classifieds.
