Nice looking ute, but I've never seen tonneau clips/hooks near the cab in that sort of position before?

Obviously my prediction was off. It seems two bulls went for it at the end quickly going from $75k to reserve being met at $90k.

I’m not sure if there was a final lunge but sat at 90 with a minute to go.

Didn’t think of that, but probably explains why it slowed last few minutes once the magical reserve was hit. You’d think if you were so keen you’d go another 500 or so after going bid for bid for the last $15k

I'm a bit of a cynic and all could have been on the up and up. But I've also been around, which is what likely makes me a cynic!
You see dodgy dealings from on ebay pretty regularly. Who runs that auction site?

[Blue victor]

As far as I can tell, it’s in-house

I hope it did sell for that price
