Richard, I am sorry to hear you will have to sell your vehicle, if that was the only vehicle he has bought and resold, I wouldn't have even commented on it, I realize things like that happen. But this isn't the first vehicle he has bought and resold. Pretty sure it is the 3rd or 4th vehicle he has resold on ebay/Gumtree. I am sure the person who was the under bidder would have loved to have had the opportunity to buy it.  Even with the buyers premium and 10% GST it is only $15401, still a nice profit, Its not like he even registered it, just stuck it back for sale.   I just think it is a pity, you speak to people at the inspections, they have this dream of buying one and converting it to travel around.(us included) they go up for auction and you find you are bidding against someone who you know is just buying them and reselling them, very disheartening.

Still many more to be disposed of through AFM.

True, but Les of Piggabeen is a Licenced Motor Vehicle Dealer and has been re-selling military vehicles for many years. I have seen his ads for ex-Army International 4x4s and 6x6s for at least the past 15 years, and of course now, Land Rovers.

There was a time in NSW when vehicle auctions were limited to accepting bids only from Motor Dealers, or at least registered businesses. We're lucky now to have live auctions where all interested parties have a chance to buy at wholesale prices rather than being forced to pay retail through a car yard. Still, this must have seriously dented the margin that dealers can get, when everyone in Aus who wants to buy an ex-mil LR can set the market price through an auction.

I do agree with you about the blatant reasons why some sellers explain why they need to move on a vehicle at a huge mark up, when clearly it's just an exercise to make a quick buck. Once or twice, it's a case by case thing. However, they could get tripped up. Each state has consumer law that requires a person reselling a certain number of vehicles within a year (reg'd or un-reg, cars, trucks or trailers) must get a Dealer's licence or face fines. In NSW, the number is 4 vehicles, Vic 4, Qld 5, WA 7. Any profits will then be required to be declared to the ATO. As licenced Auctioneers, on the sale of vehicles, Grays/AFM reports the sale details to RMS, who then link it to a national database. Even if you don't register your auction purchase, "they" know how many you have!

Obviously "men think differently to women" as I have been reminded again, I just think of the disappointed people I speak to who have bid on vehicles and they all say  they bid more than they intended to and still got outbid and are left wondering at what point they would have stopped bidding. We must all have the land rover disease. It is hard to believe how many of us there are :) Oh well tomorrow is another day, all be it our anniversary, I dare say instead of wining and dining the night away, he will be searching through grays catalogues, again, but after 43 years nothing fazes me anymore.

Just guessing, maybe he can't easily transfer the registration to NSW.

Nah! Lives in Anna Bay and discovered how poor a heavy vehicle is on sand.

I see on the rego label the fee code is 1R3 (http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/FeesFormsAndFAQs/Fees/HeavyVehicleFees.htm), been caught out, as the rear axle spacing means it's eligible for 1R2.

That's interesting. Does the same rule apply in other states, e.g. Qld?
