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
The clearance rate for Adelaide real estate auctions softened further in the week ending June 13, dropping to 44% from 63% in the same period last year, with just 21 of 48 reported auctions finding a buyer (Domain.com.au, Jun 13). While those numbers reflect the property market, the knock on effect for goods and equipment auctions is a steady stream of vendor motivated sales, particularly in the liquidation and estate segments.
Mason Gray Strange capitalised on that momentum with an online electrical liquidation auction on June 9, clearing a major retailer insurance claim from the Kilkenny site (Mason Gray Strange, Jun 9). On the same day, Scammell Auctions moved hundreds of lots from a major estate, with strong bidding on sterling silver, petrol collectables, and antique furniture (Scammell Auctions, Jun 9). The breadth of those catalogues shows buyers are hunting for both functional household goods and investment grade collectables.
Agricultural buyers should note that LAWD SA opened online bidding on June 12 for farm equipment and related goods from multiple South Australian locations, with the sale closing June 18 (Bidsonline, Jun 12). This is a key week for anyone needing tillage or harvesting gear before the spring season ramps up. Watch for the final bidding rush on that LAWD catalogue and any last minute liquidation listings from the Mason Gray Strange series.

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.

BML Auctions specialise in farm clearing sales and collectables auctions.
Scammell

More detail

The cast aluminium outdoor dining setting and cast iron garden furniture set are worth a look if you are after patio gear.
Inside the lots, the Homewards photo frames and Swan jewellery box are small but easy to flip. The black timber style book shelves appear twice, suggesting either duplicate listings or matching units. The mixed pallet lot with a filing cabinet is the wildcard, likely hiding extra value.

Home Improvement, DIY & Hardware
More detail

The rest of the lot list is a mixed bag. There are homewares like a three-function shower head, toiletries, and a ceiling fan, plus hand tools and two lighters. The vintage NZGWR poster adds a bit of collector appeal. The hi-vis jacket is a practical inclusion for worksite gear.

-

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.
