Thread: Army vehicle disposal

Typos! Seven of the eight Townsville soft tops are all listed as FFR but they are all GS! Gives you lots of confidence in their description...

Some bids are crazy - why would you jump from about $1,000 to over $6,000?

I think that this round would be where you may grab a bargain...

Howard, I think they may have some legal issues to address also.
The large jumps are a indication of the autobid system.
Both bidders have Pre-bid up to $6000 and the robots have bid against each other up to both maximum bids.

fraud and deception are words that come to mind

Speaking of that .... mate bought one from the last round from Minto, with a very loud bearing knock in the donk.
I personally think that situation is unethical .... so much for the 'blue slip'.
Moral of the story .... if you can't start it, 'Buyer Beware'!

Cheers,
cw.

I do think some of the ones in the last minto lot needed a better look over. there was one i could fit my hand through the firewall. My biggest problem with buying them is that you cnt drive them first

The Survey soft top is another wrong description too. Unless there was one?

be aware, in hamilton some of the pictures are mixed up, same set of photos describing two different vehicles (lots 4 and 6). wonder if there are inaccuracies in the written descriptions...

Just remember a blue slip is a safety check not a buyers check strange sounds don't come into it unless its brakes or bits falling off
