Pickles is hosting a three-day, online-only auction of imported, unclaimed freight. These are items that have arrived in Australia but were never collected by their original recipients — and are now being cleared out.

• When: Monday, 24 November 2025 at 9:00 am AEDT → Wednesday, 26 November 2025, 8:00 pm AEDT.

• Where: Entirely online at Pickles SYDNEY — bidders from anywhere in Australia can take part, noting they need to arrange pick up in Milperra.

• Pickup: If you win, you must collect within three business days from Pickles’ Milperra (Sydney) location.

• Payment: The invoice must be paid within 24 hours after the auction closes.

What’s up for Grabs?

This is classic “imported unclaimed freight” — a big, eclectic clearance rather than a focused auction. Across the 141 lots you’ll find a bit of everything, typically in small individual lots or mixed boxes rather than large fleets:

Major categories present

• Electronics / telecoms / power gear — radio units, network power supplies, PC components and power supplies. (e.g. Ericsson radio units; Emerson power supplies).

• Industrial & workshop gear — power pullers, jacks/lifts, race ramps, filling machines and other production equipment.

• Renewables / electrical — unbranded solar panels and related mounting bits.

• Automotive & parts — boxes of carpet that may suit classic Porsches, vehicle ramps and assorted electronic connectors.

• Garment, footwear & accessories — boxes of shoes, designer coats and suits.

• Household / toys / retail stock — decorative items, coffee-store playsets, toys and assorted retail product boxes.

• Health / beauty / supplements — boxes of supplements, skin/face devices.

Tone of the catalogue: high variety, many small lots (boxes of mixed stock), and several heavier industrial items. Expect a mix of low-value “bag-drops” and a few higher-value niche items — classic pickles clearance territory.

Our Picks of the 140+ lots

Below I’ve selected lots that look like the most interesting opportunities for resellers, tradespeople or hobbyists. Each pick lists why it’s notable and the buyer who should be most interested.

1) 3× Unbranded Solar Panel — 550W (Lot 16)

View

Why watch: High-wattage panels (550W) are currently in demand for small installers, hobby off-grid projects or refurbishers. If panels are functional and free of hotspots they can resale well or be used in DIY systems.
Who it suits: Solar installers, renovators, resellers of renewable gear.
Caveat: “Unbranded” + unknown history: test/inspect for micro-cracks, junction box integrity and actual Wp rating before assuming full retail value.

2) TBAPFS 5 Ton Dual Gear Power Puller / Stretcher Lift (Lots 4 & 5 — two separate lots)

View

Why watch: Heavy-duty workshop/jack equipment like this is rare in mixed freight clearance sales and can fetch strong prices locally from mechanics, wreckers or small fabrication shops. Two identical units improve resale options.
Who it suits: Mechanics, panel shops, industrial tool resellers, scrapyards.
Caveat: Heavy to collect — factor transport, forklift/crane and WHS safe-handling rules into your total cost.

3) 5× Emerson Network Power Supplier DS850DC (Lot 15)

View

Why watch: Server/telecom power supplies or DC power modules from a recognised brand can be valuable for spare parts, refurbishment or specialist IT resellers. Bulk lots of these are useful to workshops.
Who it suits: Telecom/IT repairers, electronics recyclers and parts resellers.
Caveat: Confirm the exact model/condition — some are only useful for parts.

4) Sharrb Semi-Automatic Cartridge Filling Machine (Lot 122)

View

Why watch: Industrial filling machines (pharma/food/retail packaging) are high-value if working — attractive to small manufacturers or contract packers. Even non-working units have value for parts.
Who it suits: Small manufacturers, packaging contractors, industrial resellers.
Caveat: Specialized equipment — buyer needs either the know-how or a buyer network. Collection and electrical certification may be needed.

5) Pair of Race Ramps (10.8° approach angle) (Lot 121)

View

Why watch: Useful, simple gear for workshops, track day crews and performance garages. Low logistical friction: compact and easy to move compared with cranes or forklifts.
Who it suits: Mechanics, car clubs, motorsport crews and mobile mechanics.

6) Box of Car Carpet — May Suit 1974–1977 Porsche 911 2.7 Coupe (Lot 7)

View

Why watch: Rare fitment parts for classic Porsches can be profitable if they actually suit the model. Even partially correct carpet kits are attractive to restorers and classic parts dealers.
Who it suits: Classic car restorers, Porsche specialists, parts traders.
Caveat: Confirm pattern/fitment — lot descriptions are brief. You’ll want to inspect images and condition.

7) Bally Double-Breasted Trench Coat (Designer Clothing) (Lot 29)

View

Why watch: Branded fashion — if authentic and in good condition, designer coats flip well on second-hand luxury platforms. For resellers, a good photograph + verified condition equals margin.
Who it suits: Designer clothing resellers, vintage/consignment stores.
Caveat: Authentication and condition are everything with branded clothes — buyer risk is higher for wear/damage.

8) Assorted Telecom / Radio Gear — Ericsson Radio Units & Plug-in Boards (Lot 10)

View

Why watch: Telecom hardware (radio units and plug-in boards) can be a niche goldmine for technicians or recyclers who strip components for repair or resale.
Who it suits: Electronics refurbishers, telecom technicians, spare-parts traders.
Caveat: May require specialist buyers; warranty/operation rarely included in clearance lots.

Things to Watch Out For

• Fees: Pickles charges processing and administration fees. These can add up, especially for lower-value lots.

• Condition Uncertainty: There’s limited ability to inspect every item in detail (since items are “imported un-claimed freight”), so due diligence is harder.

• Transport Logistics: You’ll need to figure out how to pick up and move your items — three days isn’t a lot of time to coordinate freight, especially for bulky or heavy goods.

Key Advice Before You Bid

• Inspect photos & ask questions — Because these lots may come as-is, condition is everything.

• Factor all costs — You’re not just bidding the lot price: you’ll add processing/administration fees, transport/collection, possible refurbishment.

• Plan for collection — Three business days to collect post-sale. Big items may require heavy-haul arrangements.

• Set a clear budget — With such mixed-goods auctions, it’s easy to get carried away. Decide your max bid before you hit “place”.

• Know your use or resale channel — Are you buying for your own business? For resale? For parts? That will define how much risk you take.

Our Take

If you’re someone with an eye for bargains, enough risk appetite, and a plan for how to collect and move items, this auction could be a goldmine. For resellers, refurbishers, or even hobbyists, unclaimed freight sales like this are often where unexpected finds surface.

But don’t go in unprepared — know your limits, calculate likely costs (including pick-up), and bid strategically.
