ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE COLLECTABLES AUCTION, 590 LOTS
Antique and vintage collectables are being listed through aaac in Brisbane, with 590 lots to sort through. Coins, militaria, stamps, art, jewellery and antiques make up the spread, so there is plenty to dig into across the catalogue.
FAQ
Which auction houses run regularly in Queensland?
Grays, Pickles, and Manheim run large vehicle and equipment sales. For collectables and antiques, look to Lloyds and smaller Brisbane boutique houses. Slattery covers government and commercial liquidations statewide. McDonald Auctions is a Brisbane local staple for weekly general and specialist sales.
Do QLD auctions offer interstate shipping?
Most major houses can arrange freight. For large plant or vehicles, get a transport quote before bidding. Brisbane to Sydney is typically $300–$600 for a vehicle.
Are there preview days for QLD sales?
Usually there is, but not always. Inspection periods, if offered, are listed on each auctioneer’s site, usually taking place the business day before the auction closes.
What buyer’s premium should I expect?
Most houses charge 15–20% plus GST. Some charge a sliding scale that reduces on higher hammer prices. Please check the item listing for specific details.
Trends & Insights
Vehicle supply dominates the Queensland auction calendar this week, with two Brisbane sales landing on the same day. Manheim’s 156-lot government and fleet auction at Eagle Farm on 3 November carries a notably hybrid-heavy mix, including a 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid, a 2022 Toyota Kluger Hybrid, a 2021 Suzuki Jimny, a 2023 VW Golf GTI and near-new Mazda stock in the form of a 2025 CX-80 and 2024 CX-30 (Auction Finder, Oct 31). Slattery Auctions runs an 18-lot motor vehicle sale at Pinkenba the same day, weighted toward late-model dual-cab utes and 4x4s with two 2025 Ford Ranger Wildtraks, a 2025 Mazda BT-50 XT, a 2023 Mitsubishi Triton, a 2022 Toyota Hilux SR and ex-lease Isuzu D-MAX units on the block (Auction Finder, Oct 31).
Collectors have the deeper catalogue to work through. Albion Antique Auction Centre is running a 550-lot antique and vintage furniture, artwork and rug auction closing 5 November, with timber furniture, framed art and collectables offered under live online bidding. Early results show a Pro Hart oil on board reaching $1,250, a useful benchmark for vendors holding signed Australian art (aaac.com.au, Nov 5).
The consumer goods side is being carried by the Brisbane Airport lost property auction, roughly 700 lots live until 8 November through Lloyds Auctions. The catalogue runs from electronics, luxury perfumes, jewellery, bikes and power tools to genuine oddities, including an outboard engine, a Starlink kit and Fokker aircraft parts, with all proceeds directed to the Children’s Hospital Foundation (Newsreel, Oct 12). Separately, AusCT is selling two 20-foot shipping containers of household contents under the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act 1967, an online sale via ibidonstorage.com.au at Kentville closing 23 November (Buy Search Sell, Oct 24).
Buyers should watch the 3 November vehicle results closely for signs of how hybrid and ex-lease ute stock is clearing before the next round of fleet consignments is listed.

Rod’s Tips
Queensland government surplus runs year-round. State fleet vehicles, IT equipment, and workshop tools come through Grays and Slattery on a rolling basis, often ex-maintained and well-priced.
Mining and construction equipment cycles through QLD regularly. End-of-project disposals from the resources sector produce strong lots in Mackay, Townsville, and Rockhampton. Watch Lloyds, Pickles, and Slattery for these.
Factor in humidity when buying machinery. Coastal Queensland storage conditions can accelerate corrosion. Inspect carefully, or ask for a condition report, before bidding blind.
Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast estate sales move fast. These are popular and attract competitive bidding. The Gold Coast is also the home base for Lloyds auctions, which is an upcoming powerhouse on the east coastRegister early and have your maximum bid set before the sale opens.
Pickles
Pickles Auctions Queensland operates from Eagle Farm (Brisbane) and Townsville, running vehicles, mining equipment, salvage, and plant. Large CSG and mining auction programs run out of Rockhampton and regional QLD.

EOI: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Equipment, Stock, Associated Assets & Assignment of Lease
More detail
This is an expression of interest rather than a standard timed auction, and the headline asset is the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment and stock, offered together with associated assets and the potential assignment of lease at Unit 1, 8 Technology Drive, Arundel. The lease assignment is subject to landlord approval, so anyone eyeing the site itself should factor that into their enquiries.
The vehicle list is the practical standout for most buyers: a 2025 Isuzu NLR 45-150, a 2019 Mercedes-Benz V-Class V250 d, a 2017 Ford Ranger XLT, a 2024 Suzuki Jimny GLX and a 2022 MG HS Core. That spread covers a light truck, a people mover, a ute and two recent SUVs, which is an unusual mix to find in a single industrial offering.
With six lots in total and a close date of 11 November 2026, the process rewards buyers who read the EOI terms properly and confirm what is included in each lot before lodging. The manufacturing gear and stock will suit operators already in the pharmaceutical or adjacent production space, while the lease assignment adds a turnkey option for the right party.
-

Bowen Basin Mining Auxiliary & General Goods Online Sale
More detail
This is a compact sale built around CAT haul truck components and mine site consumables. The standout lot is the CAT 789D/793F steering cylinder, still mounted in its transport frame, which suits anyone maintaining those truck models. Three CAT accumulators appear as a separate lot, with another three listed individually and two more accumulators grouped on a pallet with assorted parts.
Workshop and cleaning gear fills out the list, including a Nilfisk BR 855 scrubber and a Shearer emergency push stop switch. Several pallets and a crate carry mixed electric motors, relays, radiator cores and consumables, some identified as CAT and some not.
Buyers should note that a number of lots are described as used or contain unidentified parts, so inspection before bidding is worthwhile. The sale closes 18 November 2026.
-

EOI: Glazing & Metal Fabrication Equipment, Stock & Associated Assets
More detail
This EOI bundles the working guts of a glazing and metal fabrication operation: the equipment, the stock and the associated assets, with the assignment of lease included subject to landlord approval. For anyone looking to set up or expand in the trade, that means the gear and the premises question can be sorted in one go rather than piecing it together lot by lot.
The vehicle list is the standout. A 2024 Ford Ranger XLT sits alongside a 2023 XLS and a 2022 XLT and Wildtrak, with a 2020 Nissan Navara N-TREK Warrior rounding out the utes. On the truck side there’s a 2023 Hino 300 616, a 2017 Isuzu NPR 45-190 and a 2007 Isuzu NPR 200, giving a mix of late-model and older workhorses.
Nine lots in total, closing 19 November 2026. The lease assignment is subject to landlord approval, so factor that into any offer.

Major Drilling Contractor Workshop Equipment Insolvency Sale
More detail
This is a drilling contractor’s workshop being wound up, and the kit reflects heavy trade use: two identical WIA 356 Weldmatic MIG welders with wire feeders, a Hafco SBC990 sand blasting chamber, and a custom built metal forming machine with coil de-coiler for anyone set up for fabrication work.
Handling and prep gear is well covered too, with a Daytona 2 tonne mobile workshop crane, an Izumi hydraulic pipe bender, and a portable containment enclosure. Two Spitwater SW2021 hot water pressure washers and a Saber portable unit round out the cleaning side.
Tool storage comes in the form of an SP Professional 20 drawer mobile steel cabinet and a TTI Panther Series 7 drawer unit. Inspection is at Unit 4, 38 Westgate St, Wacol, with the sale closing 25 November 2026.
-

Major Drilling Contractor Drill Rig Parts & Consumables Insolvency Sale
More detail
This is a genuine insolvency clearance, which means the lots are being moved rather than priced to sit. The engine lineup is the headline: a 2023 Caterpillar C7.1, a 2020 C9 and a C15, the latter bundled with assorted C15 machinery parts and a CAT engine block. A Cummins engine and a separate engine block with assorted parts round out the mechanical offering.
Compressor gear makes up the rest of the catalogue, with screw compressors and air ends from Atlas Copco and Ingersoll-Rand among the lots. Air ends are worth a close look if you run or rebuild rotary screw units, since they are often the expensive part to replace.
Everything is listed from Wacol, so Brisbane-based buyers can inspect locally before bidding. With 12-plus lots and a November 25 close, there is time to check condition and work out what the parts are worth to you.
-

Williams Cranes & Rigging Lifting Equipment Retirement Sale 2
More detail
This is the second retirement sale for Williams Cranes & Rigging, putting a working collection of lifting and rigging equipment on the block. Block cages feature heavily, with units from WCR (CW 5392, rated to 2000kg WLL), Barry Evans Lifting and All Lifting & Safety, the latter appearing twice in aluminium.
Man boxes are well represented too, with two from Maxirig and a Sully box built for Franna cranes. There’s also a forklift man cage from All Lifting & Safety, a KAF aluminium dog box basket, and a set of 16 ground protection mats.
For anyone setting up or topping up a rigging operation, this is a practical spread of gear from established names. Inspect the lot list closely and check condition before bidding.
-

Williams Cranes & Rigging Lifting Equipment Retirement Sale 3
More detail
This is the third and final round of the Williams Cranes & Rigging retirement sale, so the remaining stock is being cleared out. Pickles is handling the Brisbane auction, and the catalogue covers the kind of gear that builds up over a long career in the lifting game: rigging hardware, lifting accessories and crane-related equipment.
For anyone outfitting a workshop, a small crane business or a maintenance crew, sales like this are worth watching closely. Retirement auctions tend to move everything, from the everyday items to the heavier gear that rarely comes up at general industrial sales. Condition and quantities vary by lot, so check each listing against the photos and descriptions.
Bidding closes 26 November. Inspect what you can, read the lot details carefully, and price your bids before the clock runs down.
-

Williams Cranes & Rigging Lifting Equipment Retirement Sale 4
More detail
This is the fourth sale in a retirement wind-down for Williams Cranes & Rigging, which means the gear has come out of active service rather than a cleared warehouse. Lifting equipment from a working rigging outfit tends to be practical, heavy-duty stock: chains, slings, shackles, hooks and associated hardware, sold across multiple lots so you can target the pieces you actually need.
Retirement sales are worth watching because operators typically offload everything at once, from everyday rigging components to the bigger lifting items that are expensive to buy new. With the sale running through Pickles in Brisbane, inspect the lot list closely for sizes, ratings and quantities, and check the condition notes on anything load-bearing before you commit.

ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE COLLECTABLES AUCTION, 590 LOTS
More detail
This is a specialist and general collectables auction run by aaac out of Albion in Brisbane, and the 590-lot catalogue is broad enough to reward a proper look rather than a quick scroll. Coins, militaria, stamps, art, jewellery and antiques are all represented, which means the mix swings from small boxed items to display pieces depending on the lot.
With a catalogue this size, the value is in working through the list and picking your targets. Collectors chasing militaria or stamps will find dedicated runs, while jewellery and art sit alongside the antiques for anyone furnishing or adding to a cabinet.
The auction closes 12 November 2026. Worth a browse if you follow the collectables market and know what the good pieces go for.
Lloyds Auctions
Lloyds Auctions originated on the Gold Coast and runs their largest volume of online sales from Queensland with diverse categories including jewellery, antiques, caravans, vehicles, plant, and overstock.
-

Unclaimed Freight
More detail
This Lloyds Auctions online sale pulls together unclaimed freight across a spread of categories, so the catalogue reads more like a mixed pallet than a single-theme auction. Vehicle and garage gear sits alongside lifestyle and home items: the A Plus Auto Fuel Injector Set (JP-FJ1147) for the mechanically minded, a HUANUO HNSS6 single monitor arm for the desk setup, and a Philips EXP2545/00 portable MP3-CD player for anyone chasing older tech.
Home and household lots are well represented. There’s a vidaXL 4108103.A solid acacia wood rectangular table, stoneware dinner plates with a carving fork, a felt foldable desk organiser mat in charcoal, and a Giselle Bedding throw rug. The H2O Mop X5 five-in-one steam cleaner is listed as brand new, and Seafolly assorted swimwear with a beach towel rounds out the apparel side.
Also in the catalogue is a 1000C high-speed multi-function comminutor and a floor standing prize spinning wheel with 16, the sort of oddball lot that tends to draw interest on its own. With 12-plus lots closing 13 November 2026, it’s worth reading the full list before bidding.
-

Ultimate Surplus Paint Event
More detail
This is a surplus paint event, so the appeal is simple: full 10L tubs of Dulux across the most-used interior and exterior lines, all in one online auction. Wash & Wear and Aquanamel show up repeatedly in Vivid White and Low Sheen, which covers most walls and trim jobs in one hit. Weathershield Low Sheen in Extra Bright handles the outside.
Aquanamel appears in Gloss, Semi Gloss and Low Sheen, so you can match the finish to the job rather than compromise. Dulux Professional Premium Acrylic rounds out the interior side, and a red Low Sheen 10L adds a bit of colour to an otherwise white-heavy catalogue.
The auction closes 13 November 2026. Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online sale, so check each lot individually for quantity and condition before bidding.
McDonald Auctions

-

Online Hardware, Renovators Auction
More detail
McDonald Auctions has been running weekly collectables, hardware and machinery sales in Brisbane since 1989, and this online auction continues that run. The focus is renovator’s gear and hardware, so expect a mix of tools, building materials and collectable pieces spread across the catalogue.
For anyone working on a reno or topping up a toolkit, this is the kind of sale where the lots do the talking. The long-running weekly format means the auctioneer moves through stock regularly, so there’s fresh gear each round.
Check the lot list for specifics and confirm the close date, which is still to be announced.
-

Online Hardware, Renovators Auction
More detail

The lot list is the place to start. Check the catalogue for the specific items and brands on offer, then inspect before bidding where possible. Close date is still to be confirmed, so watch the listing for the final time.
With a long-running weekly format, there is usually something useful in the mix alongside the collectables. Do your homework on condition and pick your lots.
-

Online Steel Auction
More detail
mcdonaldauctions is putting up a solid lineup of steel and hardware in this weekly online sale. The steel stock covers the essentials: plate, rectangular hollow section, parallel flange channel, and galvanised pipe, all useful for fabrication, fencing, or general site work. It’s the kind of material that suits tradies, hobby welders, and small builders looking to save on retail prices.
Beyond the steel, the auction includes a mix of hand tools and workshop equipment. Without a detailed lot list, expect the usual assortment of spanners, sockets, power tools, and possibly some machinery that turns up in these weekly sales. The auctioneer has been running this format in Brisbane since 1989, so the listings are reliable and the gear is properly described.
Buyers should check the close date, as it’s listed as TBC. Keep an eye on the site for the full catalogue to drop, and be ready to bid online. If you need steel for a project or just want to top up the tool box, this one is worth a look.
Manheim
Manheim Queensland runs weekly government, fleet, lease, and clearing vehicle auctions from their Eagle Farm facility near Brisbane Airport. A simulcast format allows online bidding.

-

Roxburys Auction No. 163
More detail
This is a broad-based collectables auction from Roxburys, covering four main categories. The coin section includes Australian pre-decimal silver and copper, plus decimal proof sets and world coins. Banknotes range from early Commonwealth issues to modern polymer notes, with a few error notes likely to draw attention.
Militaria collectors will find medals, badges, and edged weapons, including some World War I and II items. The jewellery lots feature gold and silver pieces, gemstone rings, and vintage watches. If you deal in second-hand goods or stack bullion-related items, the scrap value alone on some lots could be worthwhile.
Auction dates are yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the Roxburys website for the close time. Given the mix of categories, you’ll want to inspect the full lot list online before bidding. No buyer’s premium details were provided, so factor that into your limits.
