Need some advice from our Aussie friends

I get a daily news feed on my Apple iPad. Mixed in the list of news articles are frequent ads. One came up a month or two ago advertising what appears to have been an ingeniously designed grocery cart. I was intrigued enough to "buy it now". Well, the product source is Australia. It was rather expensive, but the design appears to suit my aging 80+years. So, hit buy it now. Got a sold out notice with promise of availability coming soon. However, no pre-order function provided. Never could locate the add again nor the name of the cart. Tried Google search using "Australian grocery cart" and/or trolley . Got loads of hits but not the one I want.
This cart has 6 wheels- four on bottom and two on front of basket. Designed to roll basket off of cart into an SUV or station wagon. To close this post without taking more time, I will quit now. My question is....can anyone provide a name for this product? US price was about $399.00.

Advice from the US. Check your browser history. Chrome keeps your browsing history for 18 months. If you're not using Chrome, then you should still be able to do a history search in any browser. You may have to do a search for a page containing the product using words like "grocery" or "cart" or anything else you think it was called.

Price sounds a bit high, given our lot are a bit of a ripoff nowadays, high inflation etc?? I wouldn’t buy anything on line anyway. Don’t trust it, in this climate of scams etc.
But sorry, I’ve not seen anything like it. I made my own over my working life. Good luck.

Yes, that's it. Price is much lower than I remembered- $199 Au. Could be lower in US $s. Item is still not available, as new model in the works. Estimated shipping is in Aug. The two earlier models have been sold out for some time.
Thanks for the info.

Perhaps the price you got included shipping. It won't be cheap.

Not sure if I remembered correctly, but could not pre-order thus shipping charge not shown.
