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.
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.

Homemakers, Renovators & Office Furniture
More detail
MGS has been running sales in Adelaide since 1980, and this one covers the domestic end of their usual mix. The lot list leans hard on furniture: desks, chairs, shelving, and filing cabinets for the office side, plus lounge suites, dining tables, and beds for the home. Renovators will find bathroom vanities, tapware, and lighting fixtures.
Power tools are scattered through the catalogue, with Ryobi drills and Stanley measuring gear appearing regularly. Nothing here is high-end trade kit, but for a home handyman or someone kitting out a rental property, the volume is worth a look. The deceased estate angle means some lots are older stock, so inspect carefully before bidding.
Pickup will be from the Kilkenny depot. Check the photos for condition, especially on upholstered furniture and any assembled flat-pack items.
-

Workshop, Industrial Equipment & Transport Clearance
More detail
This Adelaide outfit has been running commercial sales since 1980, so they know how to move stock. The lot list covers the usual workshop essentials: grinders, drills, and air tools, plus heavier items like a 3-tonne engine crane and various hydraulic jacks. Transport gear includes utes and trailers, though specifics are thin right now.
If you need to kit out a shed or replace worn gear, this is a straight-up clearance with no fuss. Check the catalogue for condition notes and pick-up details. Bidding closes 28 July 2026.
-

Broken Hill Builder
More detail
This is a straight-up plant and equipment clearance from a regional builder winding down. The Hitachi ZX200 is a solid mid-size excavator for earthmoving jobs, while the Cat 12M grader suits road maintenance or site grading. There is also a selection of concrete finishing gear, including a Wacker Neuson trowel and a Multiquip vibratory screed.
Supporting gear includes a 20-foot shipping container, site lights, and a generator. The steel formwork and trench boxes suggest this builder handled civil or infrastructure work. If you need heavy gear for a project, this sale is worth a look. Inspection is available before the 30 July close.
-

Estate Farm Clearance
More detail
This is a straightforward estate clearance from mgs, an Adelaide auction house that has been running sales since 1980. They handle commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery, and deceased estate work, so expect the usual mix of practical household items rather than high-end antiques.
The lots cover standard farm household gear: solid timber furniture, kitchen appliances, cookware, and bric-a-brac. If you need basic home furnishings or are looking to pick up serviceable items for a rental or shed, this sale is worth a browse. The online format lets you bid from anywhere, but check the close date of 6 August 2026 to avoid missing out. Inspections are likely available before the auction, so contact mgs for viewing times if you want to check condition in person.
-

Computers, Laptops & Audio Visual
More detail
This Adelaide auction house has been shifting commercial, agricultural, mining, and deceased estate stock since 1980. Expect a mixed bag of used office computers, assorted laptops, and audio visual kit like monitors, projectors, or speakers. No brand or model details are confirmed in the lot list, so buyers should inspect the catalogue closely before bidding.
The regular schedule of sales means gear turns over fast. If you need spare workstations or AV equipment for a fit-out, this is a solid place to check. Pickup is local in Kilkenny, so factor in transport.

Mining & Civil Clearance Broken Hill
More detail
The lot list mixes heavy earthmoving plant with practical support gear. The Komatsu loader and Cat excavator are the headline acts, but there is also a 2012 Isuzu FTS 800 tipper truck and a 2012 Hino 700 series rigid truck for haulage work. A pair of Mack trucks, a 1988 R688 and a 1992 R688, point to older fleet stock that might suit parts or a budget project.
MGS, the Adelaide-based auction house running this one, has been shifting commercial and rural gear since 1980. Their sales tend to attract serious operators, so expect bidding to firm up on the cleaner items. The Broken Hill location means transport costs will factor in, but the gear is coming from a mining town where machinery gets worked hard and maintained accordingly. Check the photos for tyre condition and wear on the loader bucket and excavator tracks.
-

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.
-

Galvanised Steel Concrete Formwork
More detail
This Kilkenny SA sale is a straight-up opportunity for builders and concretors. The core offering is a large volume of galvanised steel formwork, the kind of gear that holds its value and gets reused job after job. You’ll find standard panels, corner units, and the connecting hardware to make them work.
The auction house behind it, mgs, has been running commercial and industrial sales since 1980. That means they know how to move machinery and building materials efficiently. The close date is yet to be set, so keep an eye on the listing for the deadline.
If you’re pouring slabs or walls, this is the sort of lot that can save you a heap on new gear. Check the photos for condition and make sure your transport is sorted before bidding.
-

New Industrial Chillers & Cooling Towers
More detail
MGS has been running sales from this Adelaide suburb since 1980, and this one is squarely aimed at commercial operators. The lot list features new and unused industrial chillers, cooling towers, and associated pumps and controls. If you need to upgrade a factory or warehouse cooling system, this is a chance to buy at auction prices rather than retail.
Buyers should note the close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the deadline. Given MGS handles regular commercial and machinery sales, inspection arrangements are likely straightforward. The gear is in Kilkenny, so factor in pickup logistics if you are bidding from interstate.
-

Exploration Drilling Package
More detail
This is a specialised sale for anyone in the mineral exploration game. The core offering is a complete drilling setup, which typically includes a track or truck-mounted rig, support vehicles, and down-hole tools. Mgs has been running these commercial and mining auctions out of Adelaide since 1980, so they know the gear.
Buyers should inspect the condition of the drill rods and core barrels, as these are high-wear items. The mud pumps and water injection system are critical for deep hole work, so check for service history. If you are a junior explorer or a contract driller looking to upgrade, this package could save you months of sourcing individual components. The close date is still to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for updates.

More detail

The railway lot includes two Japanese items and a Mercedes piece, which could appeal to transport memorabilia collectors.
For the electronics crowd, the Petcube cam and Bose speaker are practical pickups. The PS5 games are in their original blue cases, so condition matters. Bidding closes 30 July 2026. Check the listing for photos and any condition notes before you bid.
