Apartment 4: SOLD for $800,000 Auction: Sunday 26 July at 10am When it came time for the open for inspection days, Steven and Richard certainly made the crowd laugh. Now they were hoping to be laughing after that hammer falls.
The ballot Jamie Durie organises for each couple to draw a card from the official Block board game to determine what time and day each couple's unit will go to auction. In apartment order, Richard and Steven pick their card fourth and find they are to be last to go to auction on Sunday July 25, at 11am: dialup

Take a look back They came into the Block with boundless energy and that's exactly how they are going to leave. They have added a lot of fun, a lot of mischievous behaviour and a lot drama to The Block. Let's take a look back on their time and chat to them about what they enjoyed the most: dialup

The hammer fell – last to auction They felt like they had the luck of going last on their side but were very nervous after Jane & Matt’s results yesterday.
There were nine registered bidders for Richard & Steven’s auction and the bidding started at $750,000. There was no problem in the rise of the price as it seemed to go up almost immediately to $790,000.
It then hit a disappointing lull in the bidding for the boys as it finally reached $800,000, and stayed there.
Final call, SOLD for $800,000!
Words can’t describe our disappointing this was to the guys as pure shock hit them as they realised they too hadn’t made anything above the reserve.
They walk away from today’s auctions with complete pride as they have managed to donate $65,000 to their charity, Variety and we would like to congratulate Richard & Steven.
