They were after a bargain and virtually cleaned out every lot at an unique motor vehicle and memorabilia auction in Whanganui yesterday.
The centrepiece of the auction was property from the estate of the late Horice Guildford including some classic cars.
While the cars didn't sell, everything else on offer under the Guildford name did.
The auction was held at Boyd's Auto Barn and owner Ed Boyd said it was a "huge success".
"Some vehicles did sell including a Commonwealth Games Holden and couple of Fiats," Mr Boyd said.
