Hundreds made their way to the auction however thousands took advantage of technology and utilised the online bidding, according to Marketing & Brand Awareness Co-ordinator, Michael DiFabrizio. 

“The online bidding was really popular this time,” he said.  

"We had 304 online registrations and a total of 447 registrations total.

“We had more than 5000 individual bids just online, which shows how much the online bidding had taken off.” 

The collection, which came from the Blue Mountains, featured a lot of vintage, petrol-related items, including pumps, signs, cans and vehicles. 

There were also a number of historic items including wagon wheels, anvils, batteries and cans. 

Michael said vehicle-related items seem to be very popular with buyers in this region. 

“I think it basically comes down to the fact that we've been here before and we know the venue here and the venue here is really great, you can obviously fit a lot of stuff here,” he said. 

“So that’s one of the main reasons, also cause there’s a lot of buyers around this whole area who are really into this sort of stuff.

“So it’s a good central point I guess for a lot of different people. 

“Also where it was being stored is not an adequate place for this sort of thing so we had to move it.”

Some of the top items from over the weekend included a Texaco Enamel Sign that went for $11,500, a gravity fed Golden Fleece petrol pump for $7500 and an MG MGF sports car that sold for $6000. 

He said people loved collecting vintage Golden Fleece and they were extremely popular at auctions. 

“It’s an old chain of petrol stations, it’s an Australian brand that went up until the 70’s and 80’s,” he said. 

“They are incredibly popular. 

“Everyone wants to get their hands on the ram or a petrol pump if they can afford it. 

“It’s one of the more popular brands and its still got currency today.”
