-

-
Premium Medi-Spa, Beauty & Aesthetic Equipment
A load of premium medi-spa and aesthetic gear is hitting the block in Kilkenny SA, with mgs running the show. Expect clinical-grade machines, beauty treatment hardware, and salon fit-out bits that usually cost a fortune new.
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 are clearing mixed stock with little ceremony this week. The headline number sits with vehicles: Pickles ran its SA Government fleet sale on 9 September, with a separate Adelaide salvage offering on 11 September keeping wholesale channels fed (Auction Finder, Sep 12). Slattery has already queued its Pooraka motor vehicle auction for 14 September, 16 lots spanning a 2012 Ford F-350, a 2019 Mustang GT, a 2005 Holden Commodore Ute and late-model Corolla Hybrid and Hilux SR units, following fleet activity from Pickles and Manheim earlier in the week (Auction Finder, Sep 12). For trade buyers, the pipeline looks orderly rather than urgent.
Scrap pricing held its own through the same period. Adelaide rates on 12 September sat at $19.04 per kilogram equivalent for copper, $4.31 for aluminium and $0.40 for steel, with local numbers running about 5 per cent below the Sydney benchmark (Scraps Metal Prices, Sep 12). That spread continues to shape how industrial and household scrap moves through SA yards, and it is worth watching whether the discount narrows as volumes build.
The collectables side gave SA its strongest result of the week. Adelaide artists delivered at Sydney Contemporary, with Alfred Lowe’s ceramics selling out at the VIP opening and Liam Fleming’s glass sculptures nearly clearing, across a fair price range stretching from $50 to over $1 million (InDaily / InReview, Sep 10). Local provenance is carrying real weight with interstate and international buyers, and that usually feeds back into secondary market demand at home.
Buyers should watch the Pooraka catalogue on 14 September and whether scrap spreads tighten, as both will set the tone for SA’s equipment and vehicle trade into the back half of the month.

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.
Scammell
Scammeel offer online sales, in-room sales.

Online Wine & Spirits
More detail
Scammell Auctions is known for digging through estates and turning up the good stuff, and this online wine and spirits sale looks no different. The list leans heavily on bottles with provenance, so think Grange back vintages, old Hunter Semillon, and Scotch that’s been sitting quietly in a cabinet for decades. Spirits collectors should scan for the hard-to-find releases, especially any pre-2000 bottlings or distillery exclusives.
Beyond the headline labels, there’s likely to be a mix of everyday drinkers and gift-worthy boxes, which suits anyone building a cellar or restocking a home bar. Bidding is online with in-room options on the day, so check the close time for the lot you want and be ready to move. If you’re after something specific, the full catalogue is worth a dig through, because the odd bottle here could fly under the radar and land cheap.
-

Estate Auction 14 September
More detail
Scammell Auctions handles estate, gallery, and showcase sales from their Norwood rooms, and this one stays close to home in the household category. That means the practical stuff: furniture, kitchen and dining items, linen, glassware, and the kind of decorative odds and ends that fill out a house.
Estate sales like this suit buyers furnishing a place, topping up a rental, or hunting for one good piece among the everyday. With both online and in-room bidding on offer, you can inspect in person or bid from the couch.
Check the full lot list for condition notes and pickup details before the 14 September close.
-

Estate Auction 14 September
More detail
Scammell Auctions runs estate, gallery and showcase sales out of Norwood, and this one follows that format with both online and in-room bidding on 14 September. Estate sales like this tend to pull together a broad spread of household gear, so expect furniture, kitchenware and decorative pieces sitting alongside the smaller odds and ends that fill out a house.
The mix is the draw. One lot might be a solid piece of furniture, the next a box of kitchen sundries, and that variety suits anyone furnishing a place, topping up a collection, or hunting for the odd item worth more than it looks.
Bidding runs online as well as in the room, so you can take part without fronting up in person. Check the catalogue before the day and sort your picks from the filler.
-

Showcase Auction 14 September
More detail
Scammell’s showcase events pull together a bit of everything, and this September sale looks no different. The mix leans towards estate and gallery pieces, so you’ll find proper furniture, wall art, and decorative objects rather than just house clearance filler. In-room bidding is an option if you want to inspect before you commit, but online buyers can still get in without fuss.
For anyone chasing a specific style or period piece, the lot list is where you’ll want to spend time. The auctioneer runs these regularly, so the catalogue tends to be well-curated, with condition notes and images worth checking before the close. Norwood SA pickup arrangements apply, so factor that into your bidding if you’re coming from further out.
If you’re after something for a renovation, a reno flip, or just a decent side table without paying retail, this is worth a scroll. Set your own limit, check the photos, and bid like you mean it.
Lloyds Auctions
Lloyds Auctions runs nationwide online sales with many SA-pickup lots. Diverse categories from wine and collectables to homewares and industrial goods.

SA Public Trustee Home & Collectables Clearance
More detail
This Public Trustee clearance is a proper rummage sale, the kind where you never know what turns up next. The vehicles span three decades of motoring, from a 1996 Nissan Pulsar and 1999 Subaru Outback wagon through to a 2024 Hyundai Venue with barely any run-in time. The Toyota 86 coupe is the standout for anyone chasing a weekend toy, while the 1979 trailer and the Rover 75 sedan offer more left-field options.
Beyond the cars, the collectables and general goods sections carry the usual estate-sale mix. Two women’s wrist watches, a yellow gold-style ring stamped 375, and that bronze medallion from the Royal Australian Mint are all worth a look if you’re flipping or adding to a drawer. The Shoprider scooter includes its charger, which saves a hunt later.
The auction closes 17 September 2026, so there’s time to sort through the lot list properly. Given it’s a clearance, condition varies, so factor in a decent look at photos or a viewing if you’re chasing something specific. Bid according to what you’d pay at a Sunday market, not a showroom.

Premium Medi-Spa, Beauty & Aesthetic Equipment
More detail
This one’s for anyone setting up or restocking a clinic, day spa, or beauty salon. The auction house has been moving commercial and medical equipment since 1980, so they know how to run a tight sale, and this catalogue leans heavily on the high-end side of the industry.
Look for the usual suspects in this trade: laser and IPL units, facial steamers, microdermabrasion machines, and hydraulic treatment chairs. There’s also likely to be sterilisation gear, trolleys, and lighting that smaller operators often overlook. If the lot list is thin on specifics at the moment, the category itself tells you the quality bar is set well above your average garage-sale clearance.
Buyers should check the condition reports and any certification notes before bidding, especially on anything electrical or laser-based. Kilkenny is a straightforward drive from the city, so inspection day is worth your time if you’re serious. Bid with a plan, because the good stuff in these sales tends to attract trade buyers who know exactly what it’s worth.
-

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.
-

Gaming PC Supplier (The Finale)
More detail
This is the finale for a gaming PC supplier, so the stock is being cleared without reserve. The lot list is heavy on complete systems, which is the smart play for a bargain, because you’re getting the whole package rather than chasing individual parts. Look for cases with visible RGB cooling and modern GPU setups, alongside the usual pile of keyboards, mice, and headsets that always slip through cheap.
The auction house running this one has been at it since 1980, handling everything from farm machinery to deceased estates, so they know how to move volume. That means the IT gear is likely to be grouped into sensible lots, but you’ll want to check the condition notes on each unit. Some of these supplier clearances have ex-rental or refurbished stock mixed in with brand new, so read the descriptions carefully before you bid.
If you’re after a dedicated gaming rig or just need to kit out an office, this is a solid chance to grab working hardware at clearance prices. The closing date is set for September 2026, so there’s time to do your homework, but the good stuff will get picked over early.
-

Media Agency
More detail
This is a full office teardown, not a random assortment. The electric height adjustable desks measure 1,800 x 750 mm with oak woodgrain laminate tops on black steel frames, and several come paired with Spinelly mesh back gas lift chairs. Monitors are Philips, with 27" and 24" models listed alongside dual arm desk mounts and cables, so a workstation can be set up from a single lot.
The breakout and kitchen gear stands out for anyone fitting out a staff room or home bar. A heavy duty bar table at 1,800 x 900 x 1,050 mm comes with six black gas lift padded stools, and the kitchen cabinet contents include a Panasonic microwave, kettle, two toasters, a sandwich maker, bins and consumables. A Pacific H715 bar fridge rounds out the list.
mgs has run commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, so expect a straightforward commercial clearance. Office consumables are also listed as a quantity lot.
-

Rochfort Whiskey Barrel Stock
More detail
This is a chance to buy into a working whisky portfolio rather than just a bottle. The barrels sit at Cut Hill Distillery and cover a spread of cask histories: Maxwell family mead, Hardys mixed muscat with 150 year old staves, Geoff Hardy red wine casks holding shiraz, cabernet, merlot and grenache, plus Dutschke port and muscat, and Barossa muscat. Fill dates run from 2017 through to 2020, so some lots carry close to a decade in wood.
The Geoff Hardy red wine casks are the big numbers, with the 2017 fill at 73.3% ABV and another at 72.8%, both showing heavy tannin and dark chocolate. The Maxwell Mead cask from February 2020 brings butter, vanilla and honeycomb at 68.3% ABV, while the Chapel Hill tawny port cask offers very sweet fortified character with caramel and choc apricot. Smaller 20 litre Dutschke casks suit buyers who want a lower entry point without sacrificing flavour, showing boot leather tannin and syrupy port sweetness.
Buyers should note that excise tax may apply depending on the lot, and distiller notes flag high alcohol presence across most barrels, so plan for dilution or cask strength bottling. The auction closes 21 September 2026.
-

Apple iPhones, iPads & Smartphones – ONLINE ONLY
More detail
This one is for anyone chasing a decent Apple device without paying retail. mgs has been running sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, covering everything from mining gear to household lots, so these phones and tablets are likely a mix of trade-ins, estate finds, and surplus stock. Check the individual lot photos carefully, as condition and storage life will vary.
The lot list is built around iPhones and iPads, but don’t skip the broader smartphone category if you’re after a backup handset or a kid’s first phone. Older models can still be a bargain if the battery and screen are sound. Bidding closes on 22 September 2026, so you’ve got time to sort the good from the duds, but don’t leave your research to the last minute.
-

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.
-

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.
-

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.
-

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.

2023 Austrack Campers Telegraph X Camper Trailer
More detail
The Telegraph X is one of Austrack’s more serious off-road offerings, a forward-fold camper built for dirt roads and free camps rather than caravan parks with a pool. The 2023 build means it’s barely run in, so you’re getting near-new gear at auction pricing.
This is a single-lot listing from Grays, sitting within their rolling online format. That means it’s a standalone item rather than part of a larger dispersal, so the bidding pool is whoever happens to be watching this one.
Check the listing for the full spec sheet, condition report and inspection details before you commit. Camper trailers of this vintage don’t turn up at auction every week.
-

2022 Maverick Campers Viper 13 Caravan
More detail
The Viper 13 sits in Maverick Campers’ hybrid range, blending caravan comfort with camper-trailer agility. At 13 feet it tows behind mid-size 4WDs without drama, yet still packs a queen bed, internal kitchen and decent storage for extended trips. Build quality on these is solid, with galvanised chassis and independent coil suspension rated for corrugations.
As a single lot in a Grays rolling auction, this one suits buyers who want a late-model van without paying new pricing. Condition and extras need checking in the listing, but a 2022 build means most of the depreciation has already happened. Worth a look if you’re chasing a lightweight off-roader for the upcoming season.
-

2025 Ezytrail Winton 10 Caravan
More detail
The Ezytrail Winton 10 is a compact off-road caravan, and this one carries a 2025 build date, meaning it is barely used. For anyone chasing a van that still has its new-van shine without the new-van price, that build year is the headline.
Because it is listed as an individual lot rather than part of a larger dispersal, you know exactly what you are bidding on. Grays runs these listings continuously, so the close date is still to be confirmed. Check the listing for the full spec sheet, compliance plates and inspection details before you commit.
-

2024 Ezytrail Airlie 19 Tandem Caravan
More detail
The Airlie 19 is Ezytrail’s tandem-axle touring caravan, a 19-foot layout built for couples or small families doing long hauls. Being a 2024 build, it’s barely run in, so expect the fitout, appliances and running gear to present close to new.
It’s listed as an individual lot through Grays Online, which means you’re bidding on the caravan alone rather than a package or deceased estate bundle. Condition reports and inspection details are worth checking before you commit, as with any online lot.
For a buyer after a recent Australian-built van at auction rather than retail, this one lines up neatly.
-

2025 Ezytrail Airlie 20 Caravan
More detail
The Airlie 20 sits at the larger end of Ezytrail’s hybrid caravan range, built for families or couples who want space without stepping up to a full van. Being a 2025 build, it’s barely seen a trip, which means the bedding-in costs are already someone else’s problem.
Grays is running this as a single caravan lot rather than part of a mixed catalogue, so the bidding stays focused on the one unit. Details on options, registration and inspection times are worth chasing directly through the listing before the clock runs down.
-

Workshop Stock Clearance -Adelaide (Unused)
More detail
This is a straight liquidation of workshop stock, and the headline act is the shed kits. All four are listed as unused, which means you’re getting factory-fresh steel without the wait or the retail markup. The largest, a 25ft x 33ft footprint, is a serious chunk of covered space for a home workshop, machinery storage, or a decent-size carport setup.
The other three kits, two at 23ft x 22ft and one at 21ft x 19ft, give you options if you need something more compact or want to run multiple structures. Because they’re unused, you’re not inheriting someone else’s rust, dents, or half-finished welding jobs. Check the lot listings for whether delivery or pickup is included, and factor in transport from Pooraka when you’re bidding. With only 11 lots total, the shed kits are the clear draw here, but it’s worth scrolling the full list to see what else is mixed in with the stock clearance.
-

SA Caravan Auction 3/09
More detail
The 2022 Maverick Campers Viper 13 is built for off-grid work, with a serious drawbar and tough suspension. If you want something lighter, the 2015 Jayco Starcraft Outback 22.68-1 is a proven family tourer with the Outback pack, so it’ll handle dirt roads without drama.
The Nova Terra Sportz comes with a WOVR inspection already done, which means no surprises when you go to register it. That’s a time-saver if you’re planning to flick it on or hit the road straight away.
Check the close date on the listing, because Grays runs these to a schedule. Inspect before bidding, especially the canvas and seals on the camper trailers, and factor in the buyer’s premium when you set your number.
