A number of big ticket items on offer at a sale in the Central West town of Trewilga last month failed to sell, and prices on other machinery were reduced.

According to Landmark Narromine branch sales and operations manager, John Bennett, the tax break was a key reason behind the slow sales because new machinery was much more affordable.

"We had a tractor that was predicted to go for about $50,000 but it didn't sell," he said.

"A new one costs $100,000, and with the 50pc tax deduction, that makes it $50,000."

Meanwhile, at a sale south of Temora, a unique motor home, converted from an old bus, stole the show.

The 1973 Denning coach with Leyland chassis had been turned into a motor home containing one double bedroom, two single bedrooms, a dining table, shower, toilet, air conditioning and a bike rack, and was one of the items on offer at the "Kurrajong Park" sale.

After much intrigue from the 600 people in attendance, the motor home sold for $18,500.
