BOUGHT* - $1,490,000

As I approached this auction I noticed a woman doing her knitting – not a sign that this was going to be a hotly contested auction I thought! Then, just as the auction was due to commence, a gentleman drove up and rushed inside to inspect the property. Alas, just as quickly as he had approached, he jumped in his car and drove off. Rushing to another auction perhaps? Unperturbed, auctioneer Andrew Macmillan commenced proceedings only to find he had to contend with a steady stream of latecomers. At least their approach was quiet. Andrew opened on a vendor bid of $1,350,000 and, when no bidders were forthcoming, went inside to chat with the vendor. On return, he found that he could not persuade any bidders at all so he put forth another vendor bid of $1,400,000. And then a surprise - a lone bidder offered $10,000 more. Unfortunately that was the end of the excitement as the property was promptly passed in at $1,410,000. Bought after.
