Default Wandin East Clearing Sale result

Spent an unproductive day at the Wandin East Clearing Sale. Never seen a 16.5% buyers premium before, and nothing purchased today (No mqtter how small) was able to be removed from site until late tomorrow, or the following day. This put paid to any smaller purchases as it would have meant another 6 hour round trip.
Monkey face F60L with crane. Running last time they used it (However long ago that was).
Note the slightly strengthened chassis.
$2250 + 16.5%.

With these extensions on, the crane would have had quite good reach, if not capacity. Bonus was 2 Front wheel spacers.

Dodge was right hand drive, possibly a combination of three different trucks, nice British Dunlop Trak Grips. This vehicle was started after many years and driven out of the shed, naturally no brakes working.
$7000 + 16.5%

The Ferret came with an extra (Army Reco'd) transmission still in the box, pus a crate of assorted NOS parts. This had also not been running for some time, in fact the battery decomposing in the tray looked like Military issue. They had tried to start it to get it out of the shed, but had been unable to do so, so was really a non runner, although it did look quite complete, but scruffy.
$10 500 +16.5%. Too rich for my taste. Another who lost out wanted to put a Chevvy V8 in it and use it as a bush toy. No comment.
Rich.

Default was there too

Spent the day there too Rich with my cousin who lives 10 mins from there. Picked up a few smaller things. Also didn't realise you couldn't pick up the items until monday late arvo until about half way into the auction!
Overall thought many prices were high and stupid but I guess if someone wants something that desperate they'll pay anything.
Was also the first clearing sale I've been too where booze was being consumed by quite a few people to the point of interrupting the auctioneer constantly!

I thought that was you Ryan, yelling out $5.00 for everybid.
Yes, seen a lot of things at sales, but never seen so much booze being drunk. There was some doubt between the auctioneers that the worst offender was even going to pay for any of his purchases. This did not stop them accepting his bids, even when he moved up to some of the more expensive items....I believe he won the Blitz?
I checked up on the website when I got home, and all the unusual details where there in the small print. I note that as a winner of a lot, you were responsible for it from the fall of the hammer, but not allowed to remove it?
First time I have had to be bussed in too.
600 kms for a day in the rain...
Rich

Default $5

hehe.
Yeah, what knobs.
Don't know about the Blitz but they bought that rubbish silver WB Statesman for $2500! And put a $30,000 bid on the oldsmobile.
The auctioneer wasn't the only one to think they weren't going to pay.
I thought it was very dodgy when the auctioneer began bidding on the sheets of steel because " he thought it was very cheap and could make a profit down at the scrap yard".
Bit of a strange day all round.
