onetrack Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I don't know if anyone is interested, but there's a 2008 Airborne XT-912 Tundra Microlight up for auction at Smith Broughton auctions, Midland, W.A. The auction ends midday tomorrow (12/03/24). I didn't see this machine until this morning, although the auction started mid last week. It's powered by an 80HP Rotax 912 and has done a reported 151 hrs. It is unregistered and appears to have been unregistered for some time. It appears to be very complete with all the books and manuals included. Smith Broughton Online Auction OA.SBAUCTION.COM.AU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 That might be a good buy for someone. Current bid $6,100, engine alone would be worth more than that if it's in good running condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 That's exactly what I was thinking Marty, that's a cheap 912 if nothing else. However, as the auction isn't marked as "unreserved", then the machine almost certainly has a reserve price on it, which would be considerably higher than the current level of bidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A quick reveiw says ' unreserved ' auction . had to look at the ' description ' for sale type . $ 6,400 at the moment. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 That's interesting, Spacey. I'm sure when I first put the link up, the "unreserved" message wasn't there, and I'm sure they've only just put it up recently. That means it will sell at this auction. The last half hour before auction closing time, usually sees bidding activity pick up substantially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It was hidden in the specification part . So not on the first page . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that they do look like a lot of fun. Hang gliding without having to lump the bugger to the top of a hill then drive home 5 minutes later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 There's 9 items in the auction in total, and the auction doesn't end until 2nd April 2024. The item descriptions are poor, but I've come to expect that with Slatterys. /slattery-logo-dark.jpg Slattery Auctions & Valuations WWW.SLATTERYAUCTIONS.COM.AU A firm of professional auctioneers and valuers who provide a wide variety of general & specialised auction sales for trucks, machinery, cars & more.

Marty_d Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Looks like their starting bid for everything is $1000, including the "baggage trailer with accessories" which has bugger-all use for anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
