BOUGHT* - $1,210,000

A fine misty rain made the decision clear – the auction was to be held inside. Mark Earle of Buxton was in a somewhat subdued mood as was the small group of 20. Two little ones rolling on the floor provided a family vibe to the auction as it commenced with an opening bid of $1,100,000. Apart from one bidder, no interest was forthcoming. So, after a final vendor bid of $1,210,000, Mr Earle passed in the property. It was later bought for that amount.
