Some outstanding looking buys and no reserves.

Thoughts, experience with these guys?

Thanks

Dodgy web page I think:

Government, corporate and fleet consigned vehicles.
Only vehicles in this catalogue are simulcast. You must be a licenced motor
dealer to bid on this simulcast auction.
All vehicles have reserves. An fee of $ 300 inc GST applies to all
Government and finance vehicles.

Demonstration Auction Only

Seems odd that you have to be a dealer but in the terms and conditions it
doesn't say so. So Milton buys the Prius for $100 and then pays the money,
only then to be asked to provide dealers licence no. When I can't produce,
I'm given the run around and told I've forfeited my money as I didn't comply
with the terms and conditions and the original page that states I have to be
a licensed dealer as well as there are NO refunds.

And yes I know $100 is way too much for a Pre-arse.

You are more likely to be asked for proof of dealers licence during on-
line registration and before being permitted to bid, so it really is a
non-issue.

I never looked at the link, but it sounds like a trade auction that's no
different to any other trade auction.

Trade auctions are not open to the general public and you have to register
as a bidder before you can bid, and part of the registration process would
be to declare your LMCT number. If you don't have one you won't get a chance
to bid, so you won't do your dosh.

You simply won't get a chance to spend it in the first place *unless* you're
a dealer.

It's very different Noddy, it's more like e-bay. Take a look instead of
assuming, I did before I commented.

I've had a look at the registration application and there is nowhere where
you insert your licence number.
