Probably putting in bets for the two or three they'd be prepared to walk away with, giving them a back up if the others get too high.
Can backfire though, mate of mine did it with the trailers and he won both of them :D

$10,504:49 final price isn't too bad in comparison to the early auctions.

Poor unemployed me had to watch as the one I so desperately wanted went over the $20k mark.
So, I did what any grown man would do, I put my head in my hands and cried.
I howled.
I howled like a newborn.
But, dear readers, there is news. It looks as if I will have a three month job.
Prepare yourself. Get yourselves cashed up for the next auction. I will be bidding with a vengeance. I will leave no survivors.

The FFR was still open a couple of minutes ago - $11K is better than $20K!

what did the Station wagons end up going for?

52-699 Sold to the man in the Happy Hat!!

RFSV b'long me'pela.
Not my old mate, but it is a good start.

Folks,take no notice of the ~$10K variation in prices in Townsville, they were all worth about the same $13-15 range.
Human psychology at work!
Mr B from Bris/ Gold area, well played sir, you have a bargain! A rebuilt RFSV for GS prices!!
Want to drive back in convoy and share tools?
That would be sweet!
Or we could share the cost of a backload?
PM me.

I haven't looked at the other auctions yet, I'm of to celebrate a VERRRRYY productive week!

Thanks a HUUUUUUUUUGGE amount to Bearman, mate you have no idea how much you helped:BigThumb::TakeABow::TakeABow::BigThumb::Big Thumb::TakeABow::TakeABow:@ Bearman!
Me in Brisbane outskirts had Download speeds of 1/10th that of B'Man way up the coast in the Dark North and he kept me updated on the vehicles I was bidding on while I tapped my fingers waiting for a refresh :censored:
Almost pulled what little hair I had left out ;)
Not to mention spending his precious time gathering info that helped a few members here make decisions.
You are a scholar and a gentleman.

The one I bought in the previous auction had 3/4 of a tank - pleasantly surprised, was expecting a smidge above empty!
