We had one sealed bid for the minibus, and it went for £105.

We had one sealed bid for the minibus, and it went for £105.
Our minibus didn't go the first time, so trying again. It is probably just as well, as the mileage was understated and is somewhere in the region of 200k+. It must go, and so the highest bid received will win. There is no reserve, and staff, trustees from SDT are eligible to bid.
