And the enthusiasm was at an all time high as their underdog to hero story came full circle when the sisters bagged a $1.05 million profit after their house was bought by Adrian Portelli.

"I'm still in shock, it hasn't sunk in for me just yet," Liberty exclusively told 9Entertainment moments after their auction.

The sisters were feeling "lucky and grateful" after winning $1.05 million.

"We couldn't have asked for better and we hope everyone gets this feeling," Liberty said.

The sisters admitted they were a bit bamboozled as their auction played out.

"We didn't hear the first bid and then to hear it was $3.9million, we thought 'Whatever happens from here that's already exceeded it,' Liberty explained.

Liberty admitted it was "bizarre" for Adrian Portelli to bid against himself at one point in the auction but they were glad to "reap the benefits".
