FAQ
Which auction houses are most active in South Australia?
MGS for business liquidations, while Pickles and Manheim cover vehicles and industrial lots. For antiques and fine art, boutique rooms are worth watching. Slattery handles major government and commercial clearances.
Are SA auction houses accessible by interstate bidders?
Yes. Most major houses offer online bidding, and freight can be arranged for successful buyers. Adelaide to Melbourne is a short and cost-effective run.
What should I expect to pay in buyer’s premium?
The standard range is 15–20% plus GST, though boutique houses sometimes charge more on art and jewellery lots.
Does SA have government surplus auctions?
Yes. State and local government fleet, IT, and surplus assets come through Grays and Pickles on a regular schedule.
Trends & Insights
Adelaide’s auction rooms leaned hard into estate and collectables volume this week. Scammell Auctions ran an estate clearance on 21 September with more than 600 lots of jewellery, silver, furniture and collectables from a Norwood source, spanning antique and modern furniture through to shed items, garagenalia, petrol collectables, toys and radios, following a 429-lot event on 14 September (Auction Finder, Sep 21). For buyers chasing petroliana and shed-fresh stock, that is two consecutive weeks of deep catalogue depth from a single house.
Vehicle and machinery sales held their usual rhythm across the metro. Slattery Auctions’ Pooraka motor vehicle sale on 21 September carried 11 lots including 2023 Corolla and MG HS hybrids, a 2019 Mustang GT and a 2015 Mercedes C63 AMG, with volumes tracking prior weeks (Auction Finder, Sep 21). Grays followed with an Adelaide classic motor vehicle auction on 22 September offering four classics at Pooraka, while MGS in Kilkenny ran vintage stationary engines, restored and project vehicles and workshop equipment on 23 September (Auction Finder, Sep 19). Pickles kept the salvage channel moving with its weekly Adelaide damaged and salvage vehicle auction at Salisbury Plain on 25 September, online viewing only (Pickles, Sep 21).
On the residential side, Adelaide recorded a 53 per cent clearance rate for the week ending 19 September, with 55 sales totalling $41.3 million from 123 scheduled auctions and 104 reported, at a median of $961,500 (Domain.com.au, Sep 19). That result sits outside this page’s goods, vehicle, equipment and collectables remit but remains the reference point for broader sentiment heading into spring.
Watch the next round of estate and deceased-estate catalogues closely, particularly where single-owner collections are split across consecutive weekly sales, as competitive pressure tends to soften by the second or third tranche.

Rod’s Tips
Adelaide’s industrial suburbs produce steady commercial clearances. Wingfield, Regency Park, and Gillman see regular business liquidation sales. Often good value for tools, racking, and workshop equipment.
Regional SA plant auctions attract fewer bidders. Farming and agricultural equipment sold out of regional centres can go for well under east-coast prices with a smaller bidder pool.
Check the viewing period as SA sales often have short windows. A one-day inspection period is common for Adelaide clearance sales. Plan ahead or you’ll be bidding without seeing the goods in person.
du Plessis Auction Gallery
A family-owned business specialising in antiques, fine arts, jewellery, wine, special vehicles, historic memorabilia and decorator items.
Lloyds Auctions
Lloyds Auctions runs nationwide online sales with many SA-pickup lots. Diverse categories from wine and collectables to homewares and industrial goods.

House & Homewares
More detail
This is a multi-lot online sale run by Lloyds Auctions, and the house and homewares section leans hard into timber. The standout is the mid-century modern desk with pedestal, the sort of piece that holds value well past auction day. Three Organo Design side tables from 2012 also appear, so there is a chance to split a set or take all three.
Condition varies across the catalogue. The floral sofa suite is ex-display, which usually means it has been handled but not lived on. The white timber bedroom set runs to three pieces, and there are two separate vintage wooden furniture sets alongside it, so a buyer fitting out a whole room could do it in one hit.
Smaller items round out the list: a timber dressing table with attached mirror, a pair of cream arched top decorative mirrors, a vintage console television set, and a two-unit vintage heater bundle. Lloyds runs this across multiple categories, so check the full catalogue before bidding closes on 27 September 2026.
-

Sport, Leisure & Lifestyle
More detail
Lloyds has pulled together a broad catalogue spanning five categories: vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. The spread means there is something for most budgets, from small collectable pieces through to machinery for a working property or trade setup.
The plant and equipment and vehicle lots will draw the most attention from buyers chasing working gear, while the jewellery and collectables side suits anyone hunting smaller items with resale or personal value. General goods round out the listing for everyday pickups.
Bidding runs online and closes 28 September 2026. Worth a look through the full lot list before the timer runs down, particularly if you are across more than one category.
-

Hospitality, Catering & Events
More detail
This is a broad Lloyds Auctions sale rather than a single-operator clearance, so the catalogue spreads across hospitality and catering, vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. That mix suits buyers chasing commercial kitchen kit, event hire stock, or a work vehicle in the same session.
With a 29 September close, there’s time to work through the lots properly. Check condition reports and inspection details on anything commercial before bidding, particularly plant and kitchen equipment where servicing history matters.
South Australian buyers can arrange local pickup, and the range means it’s worth a full scroll rather than a keyword search.
-

Home Entertainment, Audio & Computers
More detail
The lot list splits neatly into two types of buying. There is single-item gear for anyone kitting out a desk or lounge room: an HP Pavilion G series laptop with its power cable, Altec Lansing XA3021 speakers built for gaming and TV audio, and a Moki Block Party wireless speaker running TWS with 2x20W output. A TV receiver and LCD TV receiver box round out the home entertainment side.
Then there are the bulk lots. Computer workstations and IT equipment are bundled together, and a separate mixed IT lot covers cables and assorted gear. If you are chasing peripherals, the RGB keyboards come in volume: Philips rainbow backlit models, brand new Allied Firehawk boards, and 4-packs of Allied keyboard and mouse combos.
Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so each lot closes on its own timing. Check individual listings for condition and what is actually included in each bulk bundle before bidding.
-

Gadgets, Music & Pastimes
More detail
This is a nine-lot online auction run by Lloyds Auctions in South Australia, closing 1 October 2026. The mix leans hard into small electronics and craft supplies, which suits resellers, market stallholders or anyone stocking up on gifts without paying retail.
Standouts include the 5m smart LED strip lights with 16 million colours and music sync, plus a second rainbow variant with remote. The 50-pack of pop fidget spinners in four colours and the eight backlit digital alarm clocks with temperature display are bulk buys worth watching. Craft buyers get a bulk quilting fabric collection in 100% cotton, 24 Stanford 1 inch paint brushes sold as one lot, and professional artist brush packs across multiple sizes.
Also listed: a brand new smart watch with black band and a 3in1 rechargeable hair trimmer with USB-C and 30 minute run time. Lloyds runs multi-lot online auctions across vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so check the full catalogue for anything else sitting alongside these lots.
-

Whitegoods & Appliances
More detail
Six lots, all household gear, closing 3 October 2026. The mix leans practical: laundry and kitchen covered by the Ariston front load washing machine and the Whirlpool dishwasher, cold storage by the Toshiba single door refrigerator.
The Breville BBM800 Custom Loaf is the pick of the small appliances if you bake, and the Maestro Genesis air purifier is worth a look heading into warmer months. A handheld portable blender juicer rounds out the list.
Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, and the broader catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so it pays to scan the full listing rather than just this category. Inspect condition where you can and check each lot’s terms before bidding.
Scammell
Scammeel offer online sales, in-room sales.
-

Estate Auction 28 September
More detail
Scammell Auctions handles estate, gallery, and showcase sales out of Norwood, and this one is a straight household estate run. That means the catalogue tends to be broad rather than specialised: furniture, kitchen and dining ware, linen, decor, and the kind of solid everyday items that move cheap when an estate is being cleared.
Because Scammell runs both online and in-room bidding, you can compete from anywhere in SA or turn up in person. Estate sales like this often hide the best value in the mid-range lots rather than the headline pieces, so work through the full list before the close date on 28 September.
Condition varies across estate stock, so read each lot description and photos carefully. If you can inspect in person, do it.
-

Estate Auction 28 September
More detail
Scammell Auctions runs estate, gallery, and showcase sales out of Norwood, and this one sticks to the household category. That means the sort of contents you’d find clearing a family home: furniture, kitchen and dining pieces, decor, and box lots of everyday gear.
Bidding works two ways. You can register online or front up in person on the day, which suits buyers who want a proper look before committing. Estate sales like this often bundle smaller items into mixed lots, so there’s value in the boxes as much as the feature pieces.
Worth a look if you’re furnishing a place, hunting a specific piece, or just enjoy a dig through a house lot. Close date is 28 September 2026.
-

Showcase Auction 12 October
More detail
This is a showcase auction from Scammell Auctions, a Norwood SA house that handles estate, gallery, and showcase sales. Bidding runs both online and in the room, which suits buyers who want to inspect in person or just watch the timer from home.
The catalogue spans estate and gallery stock, so expect the usual spread: furniture, decorative pieces, and collectables. With a 12 October close, there is time to review the lots and decide where the value sits.
Check the full listing for condition notes and inspection times before bidding.
Pickles
Pickles Auctions SA is located at Main North Road, Salisbury Plain, focusing on vehicle remarketing, salvage, and occasional general goods. Regular government vehicle auctions run here.
Mason Gray Strange South Australia
Mason Gray Strange (MGS) at 370-378 Torrens Road, Kilkenny is one of SA’s most active auctioneers. They run regular on-site and online sales for restaurant/cafe equipment, industrial machinery, business liquidations, and insurance claims.

Laser Cutter, Tools & Building Supplies
More detail
mgs has been running regular commercial, agricultural, mining, and deceased estate sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, so the lots here come from a mix of sources, not just one clean-out. That means you’ll find a bit of everything, from the headline laser cutter to the kind of hand tools and hardware that usually get snapped up cheap if you’re early.
The laser cutter is the obvious drawcard, but the real value could sit in the building supplies. Think timber, fasteners, fittings, and general site consumables, the sort of stuff that adds up fast at a hardware shop. Power tools are worth a look too, especially if you’re after a backup unit or a project beater.
Check the lot list as the close date gets closer, because mgs often adds items late. If you’re local, it’s worth a drive to inspect before bidding, there’s no substitute for seeing wear and tear in person. The sale wraps on 29 September, so give yourself time to sort out pickup.
-

Frozen Yoghurt Shop
More detail
The sale covers the full fit-out of a frozen yoghurt shop, which means everything from the front counter to the back-of-house prep area is on the block. Soft-serve and yoghurt dispensing machines, underbench and upright fridges, blenders, topping displays and stainless steel benches are the sorts of items that move quickly at this kind of auction.
For anyone fitting out a café, takeaway or small food business, buying a complete shop’s worth of gear in one hit usually works out cheaper than sourcing pieces individually. Seating, counters, shelving and signage may also be listed, so it pays to read the full lot list before bidding.
mgs has run commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales out of Adelaide since 1980, so the process is well worn. Inspect before you bid, confirm what is included with each lot, and arrange transport for the bulky items ahead of time.
-

Central Glass
More detail
This is a general sale rather than a single-theme event, which suits buyers who like to trawl a mixed catalogue for value. mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate auctions out of Kilkenny since 1980, so the stock tends to be practical gear rather than showroom pieces.
Deceased estate holdings often bring in the unexpected: tools, workshop equipment and household goods sitting alongside the bigger commercial items. That mix is where the odd bargain tends to turn up.
Check the lot list before bidding, since categories shift from sale to sale. Bidding closes 9 October 2026.
-
Computers, Laptops & All-In-Ones
More detail
mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales out of Adelaide since 1980, so this IT offering comes from a house that knows how to move volume. The Kilkenny SA site is the pickup point, and the catalogue covers computers, laptops and all-in-ones in one hit.
For anyone kitting out a home office, topping up a small business fleet or chasing spare parts, the mix of form factors means there is something for most setups. Desktops suit fixed workstations, laptops cover the mobile crowd, and all-in-ones save space where a tower and monitor would not fit.
Check the individual lot listings for specs, condition and whether accessories like power supplies or peripherals are included. Inspection details and collection windows will be set by mgs closer to the close date of 9 October 2026.
-

Woodworking & Joinery Workshop Liquidation
More detail
mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining and machinery sales out of Adelaide since 1980, and this liquidation fits the brief: a working joinery shop cleared in one hit. Kilkenny is a short run north-west of the CBD, so inspection and pickup are easy for local trade buyers.
The drawcard is the gear itself. Joinery setups like this typically include panel saws, spindle moulders, thicknessers, linishers, dust extraction and benches, plus the hand tools and timber that keep a shop running. For a cabinetmaker kitting out a new space or a tradesperson chasing a second machine, buying at auction beats retail pricing.
Liquidation means everything goes, so expect mixed lots and bulk groupings alongside the bigger machines. Check the catalogue for condition notes and inspection times before bidding closes on 13 October.
-

Wine Tank Fabricator / Engineer Closure
More detail
MGS has been running commercial, agricultural, mining, and machinery sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, and this closure covers a wine tank fabricator’s full setup. That means stainless steel tanks in various sizes, along with the pumps, fittings, and workshop machinery that kept the business running.
For anyone kitting out a winery, brewery, or food production space, the tank side alone is worth a look. Stainless holds its value, and buying at closure means you’re paying auction prices rather than new fabrication rates.
The engineering side of the shop should also draw interest. Fabrication tools, welding gear, and general workshop equipment from an established operation tend to be well used but serviceable. Inspect before bidding and factor in transport for the larger tanks.
-

Blast One, Sand Blasting System & Auxiliary Components
More detail
MGS, the long-running Kilkenny SA auction house, has this setup listed as a single lot, which suits a workshop or contractor looking to expand capability without sourcing bits piecemeal. The Blast One system is the centrepiece, and the auxiliary components mean hoses, nozzles, and related fittings are likely bundled in, though it pays to inspect the condition and wear yourself before bidding.
This house has been moving commercial, agricultural, and mining gear since 1980, so the listing follows their usual format: no frills, no reserve games, just a close date to be confirmed. If you need a blast cabinet or a portable unit for onsite jobs, check the photos carefully for tank condition and any replacement parts. Adelaide buyers can view in person, and interstate bidders should factor in freight, as this is a heavy setup that won’t be cheap to move.
-

Data Room Floor System
More detail
This is a niche offering from mgs, a local auction house that has been clearing commercial and industrial gear since 1980. The Data Room Floor System is the headline act, but the catalogue typically mixes in office furniture, IT peripherals, and general business assets from the same source.
Buyers should inspect the condition of the rack enclosures and patch cabling before bidding. The system appears to be a pulled-out setup from a working environment, so check for compatibility if you are piecing together your own server room. No close date is set yet, so keep an eye on the listing for updates. If you need a turnkey data floor on a budget, this is worth a look.
Grays Online
Grays is fully online. SA buyers will find regular clearances with local pick-up only lots.
-
2021 Lifestyle Camper Iconn Evo Caravan
More detail
This is a single-lot listing rather than a clearance line, so the caravan stands on its own merits. The Iconn Evo sits at the top of Lifestyle’s camper range, with a hard-floor design that folds out fast and gives you proper living space without the bulk of a full caravan.
For anyone weighing up a new van against a used one, the 2021 build year puts it in the sweet spot: recent enough to have the current fitout, old enough to have taken the first big hit on price. Inspect before bidding, as with any rolling auction lot.
-

Adelaide Memorabilia Auction
More detail
This auction centres on authenticated NBA signatures, with several pieces carrying third-party verification. The Michael Jordan snapback dates to his championship run with Chicago, while the Garnett and O’Neal jerseys come with JSA authentication, giving buyers documented proof of signature legitimacy.
Robert Parish also features, with a signed 1985-86 Mitchell & Ness Celtics jersey carrying Beckett authentication. Mitchell & Ness reproductions of that era are collectable in their own right, and the Parish signature adds another layer for Celtics fans.
With 31 lots total, there is room beyond the headliners for buyers chasing specific players or eras. Authentication papers matter in this space, so check each lot’s documentation before bidding.
-
2023 Coromol Thrill Seeker 18
More detail
The Thrill Seeker 18 is Coromol’s 18-foot tourer, a size that suits couples or small families who want a van that tows without drama. At two years old it’s barely run in, and buying at auction means you’re working from the listing photos and condition report rather than a showroom floor.
Because this is a single lot inside a Grays rolling auction, the bidding window is tied to that specific listing. Check the close time on the lot page, review the inspection notes and photos carefully, and factor in the buyer’s premium before you set your number.
-

SA – Caravan Auction 24/09
More detail
Three vans, three very different buyers. The 2023 Rising Sun Series 1 B is the modern pick, near-new and barely run in. The 2021 Lifestyle Camper Iconn Evo sits in the same territory, a recent build for anyone who wants to skip the wait on a new order.
Then there’s the 2006 Jayco Expanda, the budget entry here. Older, but Expandas have a loyal following for good reason, and the price should reflect the age. Worth a look if you want a van without stretching the budget.
-

Workshop Stock Clearance -Adelaide (Unused)
More detail
This is a clearance of unused workshop stock, and the big-ticket items are the garages and carports. Four are listed: one at 25ft x 33ft, two at 23ft x 22ft, and one at 21ft x 19ft. All are unused, so you’re bidding on new stock rather than secondhand gear.
Sizes like these suit a home workshop, extra vehicle storage, or a shed setup on a rural block. With 16 lots total and the close date still to be confirmed, check the full listing for the remaining stock and inspection details before bidding.
-

Workshop Stock Clearance -Adelaide (Unused)
More detail
The bulk of this sale is large-format garage and carport structures, all flagged as unused. The standout is a 25ft x 33ft garage, the biggest of the group, with three smaller units alongside it: a 23ft x 22ft garage, a second 23ft x 22ft garage, and a 21ft x 19ft carport.
The remaining lots round out a workshop stock clearance, so expect general industrial and liquidation gear beyond the shelters. With 16 lots total, it is a compact sale rather than a sprawling one, which keeps the bidding focused on the bigger items.
Worth noting for anyone planning to bid: these are unused structures, so factor in transport and assembly. The close date is still TBC, so check the listing for timing before you commit.
