"What an effort for the team at Rosemont. A real pat on the back to everyone here who put in a remarkable effort to make this sale happen and the support of Magic Millions, which has been incredible. To get a catalogue out and marketed in a way that inspired as much interest and inspections as it did is testament to all concerned."

"The new Magic Millions Online platform worked well again for our second auction and we look forward to our next internet based sale from June 2 to 4," Bowditch added.
