    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

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

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    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!

    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?

    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.
    Cheers, BDave.

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