I managed to contact the auction company and hopefully I will have an answer Friday.

Three days ago the link worked fine, then yesterday I tried it again and nothing.
What we were looking at had lot1 then the rest were lot 999, so I am hoping it is down to de catalogued properly. There were mistakes in the entries also the 6x6s were listed as 6x4s.
I'll see what I can find out this end.

I drove past Kevin’s place today and saw a Pickles Auction ute in the yard and a few people gathered around his storage shed.
One can make a relatively safe assumption that moves are afoot.

So, did we all know this?: https://www.pickles.com.au/info/bid-...ow-info#online

"It is possible to be the highest bidder on a Pickles Online item, but still not win the auction. This is because the vendor that owns the item may set a reserve price. If bidding reaches the vendor’s reserve then the item will be sold. However if bidding does not reach the vendor’s reserve then the item will not be sold."

Many of the vehicles in this Auction DO HAVE a reserve price, and will not be sold if that reserve is not met. No negotiating with the highest bidder, it's "reserve or nothing". They may consider the option of a Vendor's bid if the bids are in the vicinity, but not quite there yet. And they won't be revealing the reserve price.
