    I don't believe anything was passed in - the exact opposite actually

    It was surprising to see the excitement of some winning bidders paying exhorbenant prices for what even RailCorp Heritage considered as surplus (read - junk)

    However, if reports are correct this was to be the final RailCorp auction so the prices were probably lower than what they'll achieve on eBay in the coming months

    I did hear tales of the old indicator boards going in the realms of $800-$2100...

    There was a variety of 'roll-overs' of dubious vintage and condition. The quad from Erskinville went for $2200, the triple from Tempe $1600 and the average double was $700. Some were scarred by poor storage/vandalism, some with footpedals, only Tempe had one clock face and one incredibly damaged/incomplete single which would've been good for its blocks only went for $350

    Some of the staff instrument pallets went for $700-800 for what appeared to be grossly damaged/incomplete units. Obviously those in the know saw value

    CityRail 80's era signs went for an average of $70 but unfortunately were often grouped in lots of four

    The platform 'drop-downs' were cheaper the than last auction though

    Crazy but interesting nonetheless

    Lots of action on E bay now after this auction. Looks like the re-selling has begun!

    You mean the platform signs that have been marked up 100-200% above their Pickles selling price, the same ones that have been re-listed at the same inflated price despite failing to sell first time around?

    I suppose as a consolation he did sell the Town Hall sign at about $100 above what it went for under the hammer, but when you add the 16.5% Pickles buying fee combined with the eBay/PayPal seller fees - is it all really worth it?

    There were a lot of signs at the RailCorp auction, lets see how many further attempts are made to confirm Einstein's definition of madness!
