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
Vehicle consignment dominated the South Australian auction calendar this week, with Pickles Adelaide running a Salvage Vehicles sale at Salisbury Plain on 30 October that carried 190 lots of late-model cars, utes and write-offs, including Toyota Hilux and Kia stock that drew repair and trade buyers chasing repairable vehicles (Auction Finder, Oct 31). Slattery Auctions followed on 2 November with an 18-lot Adelaide Weekly Motor Vehicle Auction at Pooraka, headlined by a 2026 BYD Sealion 5 Hybrid alongside a 2022 Hyundai Tucson, a 2020 Ford Everest and multiple Hilux utes (Auction Finder, Oct 31).
Ex-fleet stock kept the trade busy midweek, with Pickles listing 26 ex-government vehicles on 4 November spanning a 2023 Toyota Landcruiser GX and Ford Ranger XL through to a 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric, Subaru Forester Hybrid and Kia Carnival models (Auction Finder, Oct 31). The mix points to a steady pipeline of low-kilometre, logbooked vehicles that continue to outperform salvage stock on competition.
On the collectables side, Scammell Auctions’ 4 November estate sale delivered solid results for decorative and advertising material, with vintage advertising at AU$220 and a Starlight soap advertising lot at AU$300, while pottery, rugs and furniture met or exceeded estimates (Scammell Auctions, Nov 4). The house’s regular estate program continued into early November, where silver sundries realised AU$600, proof sets and coins traded between AU$100 and AU$200, and artworks reached AU$500 (Scammell Auctions, Nov 4).
Buyers should watch the next round of ex-government and fleet consignments closely, as hybrid and electric models start to appear more regularly in trade catalogues.

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.
Lloyds Auctions
Lloyds Auctions runs nationwide online sales with many SA-pickup lots. Diverse categories from wine and collectables to homewares and industrial goods.

Hospitality, Catering & Events
More detail
This is a small, tightly packed eight-lot sale, so the appeal is in the spread rather than the volume. Kitchen operators get the practical end: a stainless steel commercial bain marie and a St George oven that the vendor states is still working, though you will want to satisfy yourself on that before bidding. Metal garage shelving rounds out the functional gear, and it is pick-up only, so factor transport into your plans.
The rest of the catalogue leans collectable. There is Bohemia crystal, a ceramic coffee set in an olive and brown ribbed design, and several assorted collections of ceramic mugs and tankards alongside commemorative metal tankards. Buyers chasing single pieces or filling gaps in a collection will find plenty to sort through across those lots.
Everything sells as-is, so read each lot description closely. With only eight lots closing on 10 November, it pays to check the pick-up arrangements and condition notes early rather than on the day.

The Bargain Bin Warehouse Wipeout
More detail
The Gold Wing material is the drawcard here. A touring motorcycle sits alongside a 1988 Honda Gold Wing poster, a 20th Anniversary edition poster, an SE promotional poster and a GL1500/6 metal sign, enough to furnish a shed wall or start a collection. A National NV-B11 AC adaptor and a vintage NZGWR promotional poster round out the oddments.
The rest is practical gear: two black-finish desks including a smaller unit, five chairs sold as one lot, two metal bed frames as a lot, a two-seater couch with cover and a modern minimalist dining table. Buyers chasing furniture for a rental, office fit-out or workshop will find usable pieces without retail pricing.
Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction, with categories spanning vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. Inspect the lot list properly, check condition on the furniture and confirm what’s included in each lot before bidding. Closes 13 November 2026.

Home Improvement, DIY & Hardware
More detail
This is a practical, shed-filling auction rather than a showcase. The pressure washers are the headline act: the Vyking Force VF1885BWD 2-in-1 and the Ryobi 1450 PSI compact both suit driveway and patio work without a big spend. Around them sits the sort of gear that disappears from a workshop fast: Kincrome wall storage, workshop stools, and cabinet COB LED light switches in cool white, sold as a run of 12.
The tool lots are where the value stacks up. There are multiple assorted hand tool lots, a Sutton-branded accessories lot, a Bosch 18V starter kit bundle, and a hand tools, tool bag and safety kit combination. Several lots are mixed-brand, so check the photos and condition reports before bidding.
Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables and plant, so postage and pickup terms are worth confirming. Bidding closes 13 November 2026.
-

House & Homewares
More detail
This is a multi-lot online auction run by Lloyds, covering house and homewares alongside the broader categories the auctioneer handles, from vehicles and jewellery to collectables and plant and equipment. For a homewares buyer, the furniture list is the drawcard: a vintage plaid sofa, a timber buffet sideboard with floral accents, a sturdy coffee table, and a timber-style cabinet with traditional raised detailing.
Dining and bedroom gear feature too. There’s an oak-style dining table paired with six antique timber dining chairs, a Sunburnt Country Collections bedroom furniture group, and the Riva Cantù Italian brass 6pc bedframe. Two late 1950s Italian large solid pine storage pieces are listed, and the aquarium cabinet comes with its glass tank included.
Condition and dimensions aren’t spelled out in the listing, so check the photos and lot details before bidding. With 12-plus lots closing 15 November 2026, it suits anyone fitting out a home or chasing a specific period piece.

Supermarket Distribution Centre Clearance
More detail
This is a distribution centre clearance with 12-plus lots, and the bulk of it is serious commercial cooking equipment. Unox features across multiple lots: XBC905E combi ovens in both electric and stainless configurations, plus Bakertop XEBL-16EU-E1LS.0 and XEBL-16EU-E1RS.2 bakery ovens. For anyone fitting out a bakery or food production space, that’s a solid run of matching brand gear.
Beyond the ovens, there’s a Costan ULTND12 open front multi-deck display unit for retail or deli setups, two planetary mixers (KB-503 and IBE IM40B), and a Henny Penny Computron 8000 pressure fryer. Mixers, frying and display covered in one sale.
One thing to note: this auction is collection only, so factor freight or a trailer into your bidding. Contact details for the auctioneer are listed in the lot list if you need to arrange inspection.
-

SA Public Trustee Home & Collectables Clearance
More detail
This is a Public Trustee clearance, which means the lots come from an estate being wound up rather than a dealer forecourt. That mix of household, garage and personal items is where the value sits: a 1978 Chrysler Valiant single cab ute, a Ford Fairlane with the 4.0-litre inline six, a 2004 Falcon, a 2016 Hyundai i30 Active with 214,994 km and a 2008 Peugeot 207 XT listed as repairable.
The 2016 Honda Civic VTi stands out on kilometres at 38,139, well below what you would expect for the year. The jewellery is worth a look too, including a vintage Omega Ladymatic, a gold-tone Casio MQ-310G, a Figaro chain and a gold-tone cluster cocktail ring.
Garage and outdoor gear includes a Pride Celebrity DX mobility scooter and STIHL BGE 81 corded garden tools. With 12 or more lots and a November close, there is time to inspect and set a limit before bidding.
BML Auctions
BML Auctions specialise in farm clearing sales and collectables auctions.
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.

Short Notice Pizza Bar Distraint
More detail
This is a distraint sale, which means the gear is being cleared to settle a debt and the vendor wants it gone on the day. That usually suits buyers who can inspect, pay and collect without fuss. The listing comes from an Adelaide auction house that has run commercial, agricultural, mining and machinery sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, so the process is well worn.
The value here sits in the fit-out rather than any single item. Pizza ovens, stainless benches, commercial fridges and mixers are the sorts of things that cost serious money new and hold their price poorly on the secondhand market, which is exactly why a short notice sale is worth a look. Smallwares add up too if you are kitting out a shop from scratch.
Short notice means short inspection windows. Check the close date, confirm what is actually included in each lot, and sort transport before you bid. Ovens and benches are heavy and awkward, so bring a ute or trailer and a second pair of hands.
-

Hospitality Liquidation & Equipment Supplier Surplus
More detail
This is a working-kitchen clearout with some genuinely useful pieces. The Tecnodom TDE-106-HD combi oven with its Primax stand is listed in excellent condition, and a Gasmax GG-12 natural gas griddle in the same shape is a solid pickup for anyone fitting out a commercial kitchen. Both are the sort of gear that usually costs serious money new.
Front-of-house and cold storage is covered too. There’s a Purezza Frizzante160 still and sparkling water dispenser made in Italy, a Westinghouse 124 litre bar fridge, a 140 litre fridge with freezer compartment, a ChiQ 142 litre chest freezer, and a Thermastar two door underbench glass display fridge at 188 litres.
The smaller stuff rounds it out: two PVC meal serving trolleys with 14 trays each, laundry cleaning trolleys on castors with twin bins and buckets, plus a Jumbuck six burner LPG BBQ. Several lots are marked no GST. mgs has been running commercial and machinery sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, so the process is well worn. Close date is 17 November 2026.

Willunga Restaurant – ONLINE ONLY
More detail
This is a restaurant closure sale, and the cellar list reads like a who’s who of small producer Australian wine. Lucy M appears across multiple lots, including the Sangiovese Barbera Nebbiolo 2024 and Home Block Pinot Noir Franc 2024. Jauma shows up repeatedly too, with the Like Raindrops Grenache 2023 and Morellos Shiraz Rose among the highlights.
Imported gear is well represented. Look for Le Vignes de Babass Groll n Roll Grolleau 2022, Bruno Dubois Saumur Champigny Plume Cab Franc 2021, Claus Preisinger Bonsai Blaufrankisch 2022 and Julien Guillot Macon Rouge Gamay 2020. There’s also a solid run of Bandicoot Run pinot and chardonnay, plus Limus riesling and pinot noir.
Beyond the wine, there’s an aperitif lot with Saison Blackcurrant Leaf Gin Amaro, Vin Amara Marigold and Spring Rhubarb Vermouth, plus imported whites, cider, and a 40-piece Gabriel-Glas glass and decanter lot that would suit a venue restocking or a serious home setup. mgs has run commercial and estate sales out of Kilkenny since 1980. Bidding closes 18 November.
-

Home Staging & Office Furniture Liquidation
More detail
This is a straightforward liquidation of home staging stock and office furniture, run by an Adelaide auction house that has been handling commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales since 1980. That long history matters: the catalogues tend to be practical and the process well worn.
The mix suits anyone fitting out a workspace or refreshing a rental. Office furniture and staging pieces often move cheaply at this kind of sale, and buying secondhand means you skip retail pricing entirely.
Check the lot list for condition notes before bidding. Staging stock can be lightly used, office gear can vary widely, so inspect where possible and factor in pickup from Kilkenny.
-

AUSTEK Engineering
More detail
This is an Adelaide institution at work. The Kilkenny SA auction house has been running commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales since 1980, which means the catalogue draws on a deep well of consignment stock rather than a one-off clearance.
For buyers, the mix is the draw. Commercial and agricultural machinery sits alongside mining gear, and deceased estate lots often turn up tools and equipment you won’t find in a standard industrial sale. Conditions vary across lots, so check each listing before you bid.
Dates and inspection details are set by mgs. Close is 25 November 2026.
-

Contactors Equipment & Tools Liquidation
More detail
The Case SR175B skid steer is the pick of the earthmoving gear: 327 hours on a 44.7kW Perkins diesel, reverse camera, LED worklights and a Digga 4 in 1 bucket, with a flat tyre to be repaired before the auction. The 2020 Isuzu NH NLR traypack is a repair project, listed with front end damage, a detached and damaged driver’s side door and no keys, so price it accordingly. The 2009 Hiace has 320,000km showing, a 2.7L petrol and five speed manual, and the passenger window isn’t working.
Trailer buyers get a United 10×6 tandem axle cage tipper with electric brakes and pendant control, and a 2022 United 6×4 single axle tradesman trailer with checker plate construction and top mount carry racks. A 2014 Ford Territory TS SZ wagon with 180,331km, seven seats and the 2.7L diesel is also listed, though its SA registration has expired. Scaffolding and access gear includes an Oldfields alloy scaffold set with locking castors and two work platforms, an incomplete Oldfields Zippy mini scaffold set, and three Bailey alloy platform ladders rated to 135kg.

Rural Fencing / Rock Drill Contractor
More detail
mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining and machinery sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, and this listing fits the brief: fencing and rock drilling equipment built for contractors who work the ground.
The catalogue suits anyone outfitting a rural fencing crew or a drilling operation. Check the lot list for the specific plant on offer and inspect before bidding.
Closes 27 November 2026.
-

Moyle Bendale Timber Closure
More detail
This is a timber closure sale, which usually means the practical stuff that keeps a mill running: conveyors, rollers, saws, motors and the workshop gear that supports them. Closure auctions tend to move fast and prices can land well below what you’d pay chasing the same gear through a dealer.
mgs has been running commercial, agricultural, mining and machinery sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, so the process is well worn. Deceased estate and industrial clearances are their bread and butter, and that experience shows in how lots are catalogued and presented.
Check the lot list carefully for condition notes and anything sold as a job lot. Timber equipment can be bulky and heavy, so sort transport and rigging before you bid, not after.
-

S.A Sweepers
More detail
This is a regular commercial and machinery sale from an Adelaide auction house that has been running agricultural, mining and deceased estate auctions out of Kilkenny since 1980. That history matters: the catalogues tend to be broad, and the sweepers here sit alongside the kind of industrial gear that turns up when depots and councils clear out surplus stock.
The sweepers are the draw if you need a unit for warehouse floors, car parks or yard cleanup. Check the lot list for make, model and hours before bidding, and factor in transport from Kilkenny if you are interstate.
Sales from this house run on a regular cycle, so it pays to know what you are chasing and what a comparable unit goes for locally. Do your inspection, set your number, and bid to it.
-

Micro Brewery Equipment & Digital Printing Press – AUCTION CANCELLED
More detail
The auction house behind this one has been running commercial, agricultural, mining, machinery and deceased estate sales out of Kilkenny since 1980, which tells you they know how to move heavy, specialised gear. Micro brewery equipment sits in that sweet spot: too niche for general clearing sales, too big to ship cheaply, so local buyers tend to do well.
Full lot details are still coming through, but expect the usual brewery kit: tanks, fermenters, glycol systems, and the stainless odds and ends that add up fast when you are fitting out a small operation. Check the lot list carefully for sizes and connections, and confirm what needs rigging or a forklift before you bid.
Inspection details and the full catalogue are worth chasing through mgs directly. Closing date is 4 November 2026, so there is time to plan.
-

Blast One, Sand Blasting System, Auxiliary Components & Air Compressor
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.
