Seems you aren't the only one asking this question.
Google is your friend, and finds: http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/archive/...p/t-76887.html http://v3.ozwrx.com/index.php?showtopic=5367 The answers were that it may be an auction house, consignment place, or something similar, and all answers say thatthey will offer you a stupidly low price. Best avoided.

Waste of time. As above^^^^^ they'll only offer trade value hoping you're desperate to sell. And its good for them as they dont need to spend time to go and see it, since you use your time and petrol to go there.

Unless you are prepared to sell under the redbook/market value (being a trade in price), don't bother.
Plenty of these type businesses out there. Once they called me, and I suggested they come to my place to value, but they did not want a bar of it. |
