Inside This Week’s Melbourne Auction Market – 46 Upcoming Sales inc Antiques, Diecast Models & Commercial Kitchen Gear

The standout lots here are the coffee machines, led by a DeLonghi Eletta Explore automatic model (ECAM45055G) and a Breville Barista Express (BES875BSS) in stainless steel. Both are serious units for home baristas, and they’re the type of gear that holds value well if you’re flipping or upgrading your setup.

On the cleaning side, there’s a Dyson Cyclone DS20 cordless vac noted as minor use, which likely means it’s been a display or return unit rather than heavily worn. Also on offer is a Roborock Qrevo C robot vacuum with its empty, wash, and fill dock in white, a solid pick if you want a hands-off floor clean without paying retail.

With 100 lots closing on 9 August, this is a broad clearance rather than a niche sale. The mix of consumer electronics and home improvement items means you’ll want to scan the full list before bidding, especially if you’re after a specific model. Check the condition notes on each lot, as some items show signs of handling or minor use.

The APC Back-UPS Pro 1200 units are the backbone here, giving you clean, reliable battery backup for home offices or small server racks. They’re the kind of gear you’d normally pay full retail for, so grabbing one second-hand is a solid move if you’re setting up a work-from-home rig or a comms cabinet.

The HP All-In-One TPC-Q028-20 runs a 4GB RAM setup with an AMD E2-7110, fine for basic admin, light browsing, or as a dedicated point-of-sale machine. The Surface Arc mice are a handy lot for anyone kitting out a shared workspace, and they pack flat, so they’re easy to store.

Bidders should check the condition notes on the power supplies carefully, as backup units can show wear from previous use. The rest of the catalogue looks like a mix of bunker lights and dome network cameras, useful for site security or warehouse fit-outs. Auction closes 10 August, so get your bids in before the timer runs down.

The Acre Eater X7 is the headline act here, built for decent-sized blocks without the back-and-forth hassle. It handles slopes and tight corners, so you’re not babysitting it on a Saturday. The S10 is a more compact option if your yard is smaller, but still offers the same app-based scheduling and boundary setup.

Inside the house, the Legee Q10 Pro does more than just vacuum. It sweeps, mops, and self-cleans via the Lulu Wash Station, which means less time emptying bins and rinsing pads. For the pool, the Poolbot B150 scrubs walls and floor independently, so you’re not breaking out the brush pole come summer.

All lots are pickup from Dandenong South, so factor in transport if you’re bidding from further afield. Seven lots total, and given the brands, this looks like a clean-out of quality gear rather than junk. Check the photos for condition, but these are the sort of units that usually sell well below retail when they hit auction.

This is a clean-out auction with a practical edge. The headline lot is the full Skil kit, which gives you a complete starter set for workshop or job-site work without the retail sting. The two Fuonce 50W and two Gulite 80W flood lights are the kind of thing you’d otherwise pay good money for at a hardware chain, and they’re listed as unused.

The Tuesday bicycle, size 26 in surf blue, is still in its flat pack, so it’s a genuine gift-or-flip option if you don’t need a new set of wheels. With 100 lots on the books and everything going unreserved, the bidding should move quickly. Check the close date and be ready to grab a bargain, especially if you’re renovating or setting up a shed.

The headline acts here are the unused container shelters, which are a solid buy for anyone needing covered storage or a temporary workshop without the wait for a custom build. The 40ft x 80ft unit is the big ticket item, but the standard 40ft shelters with end walls are practical for most farm or trade setups. They’re listed as unused, so you’re looking at straight-out-of-the-box condition, not weather-beaten secondhand gear.

Beyond the shelters, the lot list covers a practical spread of workshop and site equipment. Think tool boxes, generators, and the usual bits and pieces that keep a shed running. With 108 lots on offer, it’s worth scanning the full catalogue for smaller items to bundle into one pickup run.

Location is Shepparton in northern Victoria, so factor in transport if you’re bidding from further afield. The close date is still to be confirmed, which means you’ve got time to do your homework, but don’t leave the inspection until the last minute. Check the individual lot photos and condition reports before you commit, especially on the shelters, since sizing and end-wall configurations vary.

This clearance is a straight-up workshop teardown, no reserves holding anything back. The Eckold Piccolo KF310 is a serious bit of kit for sheet metal shaping, the kind of machine that usually gets snapped up fast by panel beaters and fabricators. The Universal Linisher Model 150 is a solid pick for anyone doing regular metal finishing or sharpening work.

On the timber side, the Sicar Industrial Wood Thicknesser is a proper workhorse for cabinetmakers or joiners looking to process rough stock without mucking around. The Trisk Curemaster is a niche piece, likely suited to food or pharmaceutical processing, so it’s worth a look if that’s your lane. With 55 lots all unreserved, the bidding should move quickly, and the mix across metal and wood means there’s something for most trades. Check the full catalogue and get your bids in before the close date, which is still to be confirmed.

The pallet racking is the main draw here, with two separate listings in the mix. That’s the sort of gear that adds up fast if you’re setting up a shed, warehouse, or workshop, and buying it second-hand beats paying retail for new units. The wire cages are a solid bonus, handy for secure storage or moving stock around a site.

The fibro cement panels are worth a look too, especially if you’re fencing, cladding, or doing general renovations. With seven lots total and no reserve, prices should stay realistic, but that also means the bidding could move quickly once it gets going. Check the close date on the listing and be ready to move if you’re keen.

The DeLonghi Pinguino Compact 2.1kW portable air conditioner is the standout for summer, model PAC ES72 CL, and it’s the kind of unit that shifts fast when the mercury climbs. The Dyson V8 Origin Extra handheld vacuum comes with accessories, model 44858, so it’s ready to use straight out of the lot. For the coffee crowd, the Kogan Espresso Barista machine and grinder (KAESCOFFGRA) covers both brewing and grinding in one hit, while the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music is a decent training watch for runners who want onboard tunes. Note the Garmin has a charger but no box, so factor that in if you’re after full packaging.

The rest of the catalogue spreads across Hozelock garden gear, Black + Decker tools, Breville and Nespresso kitchen appliances, Philips electronics, Silverpaw pet products, Bosch power tools, and Cygnett accessories. That mix means you’re not just chasing one category, there’s enough variety to bundle a few lots into one pickup. Grays runs this one out of Melton, so check the close date of August 11, 2026, and factor in collection logistics before you bid. If you’re after a portable cooler or a decent stick vac, this is worth a proper look.

This one’s geared squarely at cabinetmakers, metal fabricators, and anyone running a serious workshop. The Selco EB110 beam saw is a proper workhorse for panel processing, while the Celaschi TSA 200N/TSA440A machining centre handles double-end tenoning and trimming with precision. Pair those with the Amada Vipros 255 turret punch, and you’ve got a strong mix of cutting and forming capability.

The Donaldson/Torit cartridge dust collection system is worth a look too, especially if you’re setting up or upgrading extraction in a busy shop. It’s the kind of supporting gear that often gets overlooked but saves you plenty down the track.

Auctioneer is Grays, and the close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates. With 72 lots, you’ll want to sort through the full catalogue early and pick your targets, particularly if you’re after the bigger ticket CNC items.

This Swan Outback is built for the rough stuff, with Jayco’s tougher suspension and higher ground clearance over the standard Swan. The 2008 model still has that classic layout: double bed up front, dinette that converts, and a decent kitchen setup with a three-burner cooktop and sink. It’s a camper trailer that’s towable by a decent 4WD, not a semi-trailer.

The Outback pack means you’re getting heavier-duty leaf springs and bigger tyres, so it’ll handle corrugations better than a base model. Check the condition of the tent walls and the seals around the roof, because that’s where these things cop the most wear. Water storage is solid for a unit this size, and the gas bottle holders are properly mounted.

Grays is listing this as a single lot in their ongoing caravan and motorhome sale, so no reserve games. If you’re after a proven off-road camper that doesn’t need a tow truck to move, this one’s worth a look. Just factor in a full service on the bearings and brakes if it’s been sitting a while.

This is a serious lineup for any machine shop looking to upgrade without paying new prices. The 2023 and 2024 Makino A71NX models are current-generation horizontal machining centres, known for speed, rigidity, and precision, ideal for high-volume production work. The 2022 Makino MC4 and the 2013 A51-5XR round out a solid spread of spindles, giving buyers options across different age and price brackets.

Beyond the Makinos, the 136 lots include industrial robots, which suggests a fully automated cell setup or at least the bones of one. If you’re chasing a turnkey robotic loading system or just need a replacement arm, this is where you’ll find it. The auction closes 19 August 2026, so there’s time to get on-site and inspect the gear before bidding. Given the age range, check spindle hours and service history on the older units, but the newer machines should be close to as-new condition.

This is a proper toolroom clearance, not a pile of worn-out rubbish. The two HAAS machines are the headline acts, and they’re the kind of gear that keeps a job shop competitive. The 2013 ST20 lathe comes with the swarf conveyor intact, which saves you the hassle and expense of retrofitting one. The 2012 VM 3 is a workhorse vertical mill that still holds its value if the ways and spindle are in good nick, so get your inspection in early.

Beyond the CNC gear, there’s solid support equipment that any metalworking shop needs. The 2010 Richyoung DP-915AH geared head drill press is a brute for production drilling, and the 2020 Macc TRS 300 steel cut-off saw is nearly new, which is a bonus in a site closure. With 103 lots total, you’d expect the usual benches, tooling, and workshop consumables to fill out the roster, but the core machines are where the real money sits.

The sale is unreserved, which means the vendor wants it gone and the market sets the price. If you’re after a CNC lathe or mill without paying dealer prices, this is the kind of auction where you can score a bargain, provided you do your homework on condition and don’t get carried away on the day. Check the close date on the listing, as it can shift, and arrange a viewing if you’re serious about the big-ticket items.

This Ducato Maxi is the Conquest model, which means you’re getting a proper four-berth layout with a rear double bed, front dinette that converts, and a full kitchen with a three-burner cooktop, sink, and fridge. The Maxi chassis gives you a higher payload than the standard Ducato, so it’s set up for longer stints on the road without stressing the rear axle.

Grays has this listed as a single lot in their rolling caravan and motorhome sale, not part of a bulk clearance. That’s worth noting because you’re not competing against dealers snapping up whole lots. The Fiat base is a known quantity, parts are cheap, and any mechanic can work on it, but the motorhome fit-out is where you need to be careful. Check the roof seals, window surrounds, and the underside of the bed for water staining. Also confirm the leisure battery and gas system are current, as those are the usual neglect points on a 16-year-old rig.

If the odometer is under 150,000 km and the logbook shows regular servicing, this could be a solid buy. But it’s a private sale through a major auction house, so there’s no warranty. Get a pre-bid inspection if you can, or at least call the Truganina depot to ask for more photos of the engine bay and the habitation area. Bidding closes 12 August, so give yourself a few days to sort out transport and payment terms.

The Star Vision PX3 is a well-regarded off-road style van, built for Aussie conditions. For a 2022 build, you’re looking at a unit that’s barely run-in, with the usual perks like a decent kitchen setup, comfortable sleeping quarters, and a bathroom that doesn’t feel like a afterthought. Grays has it listed as a single caravan lot, so there’s no need to wade through a pile of unrelated gear.

Check the photos carefully for any wear from storage or towing, and confirm the tare weight if you’re planning to match it with your tow vehicle. The PX3’s layout suits couples or small families, and the 2022 build year means it should still be under warranty if the paperwork’s in order. Bidding closes on 12 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework, but don’t leave it to the last minute.

Lloyds is running a multi-lot online auction spanning sport, leisure, and lifestyle gear, with the dog kennels clearly the standout volume play. There are at least seven large Pet Haus kennels (RRP $130 each) and three small ones (RRP $110), all listed as new stock. If you’re after a sturdy outdoor shelter for a big breed or a couple of smaller ones for a multi-dog household, buying these at auction beats paying retail, especially if you can grab multiple lots in one go.

The rest of the catalogue is thinner but still worth a look. The bulk lot of mixed apparel and accessories is a gamble, but it could be a decent flip for anyone who sells second-hand gear online. The table tennis paddles, brand new and in red, are a cheap add-on if you’re setting up a games room or need spares for the shed.

Bidding closes on 10 August 2026, so there’s time to plan. Check the lot photos carefully, especially for the apparel bulk lot, as condition and sizing will vary. The kennels are the safe bet here, but the variety means you can throw a low bid at something else without much risk.

This auction is a mixed bag in the true sense, so read the lot descriptions carefully before you bid. The standout working gear includes the PGM/CHG-1200 char grill and griddle combo, a Thermaster sandwich prep bench, and the Gaggia Vetro 2G tall coffee machine. If you’re setting up a café or updating a commercial kitchen, these are the lots worth chasing.

The parts-only listings are where you need to exercise caution. The Taylor C722-58 is missing two pumps, the Meiko Upster U500 needs a new PCB, and the Cookrite unit requires a thermocouple. The Brullen ice cream machine and the AMROHA bain marie are also listed as damaged or incomplete. Factor in repair costs before you commit, because these could be cheap wins or expensive paperweights.

With 12+ lots closing on 11 August 2026, the auction runs on a multi-lot online format. Bid on the specific items you need, don’t get carried away on the unknowns, and check the condition notes on every single lot. The coffee gear alone makes it worth a look for anyone in the hospitality trade.

Lloyds has stacked this one with more than just seating. The furniture side is the headline, with major brand lounges that typically retail for a premium, but the catalogue also stretches into collectables, jewellery, and general household goods. If you’re after a full house fit-out or just want to flip a few pieces, this is worth a proper look.

The vehicles and plant equipment add another layer, so it’s not purely a home-goods affair. That mix means you could walk away with a lounge suite and a ute from the same auction, which is where the value tends to hide. Check the lot photos carefully, as condition varies, and factor in pickup logistics from the VIC location when you’re bidding.

The standout lot here is the RRP $4249 Syng Cell Alpha Triphonic Speaker, a serious piece of audio kit that rarely shows up second-hand. If you’re after something more practical, there are three Apple iPad (9th Generation) 64GB Wi-Fi units, plus a Lightspeed POS system with iPad holder for anyone setting up or upgrading a retail counter.

Beyond the obvious electronics, the auction digs into niche territory. The vintage computing bundle featuring Datallac and Alloy gear will appeal to collectors or retro tinkerers, and the bulk lot of kids’ movies and toys is a cheap filler for family entertainment. There’s also a Vornado oscillating tower fan and a Socomec 1000VA UPS, both listed at RRP prices that suggest decent value at auction.

Bidding closes 19 August 2026. Check the lot photos and condition reports before you commit, especially on the vintage and bulk items where wear and tear is part of the deal. If you want the Syng or the iPads, expect competition, but the smaller peripherals like the POS holder and UPS could go for a song.

Donington Auctions, known for shifting classic and performance metal, is putting up a private collection that’s all about the small stuff. This isn’t a box of scuffed toys, this is a curated hoard of Dinky and Corgi models, the kind of pieces that fill display cabinets and auction catalogues with serious reserve prices. The collection leans heavily on the golden era of British diecast, with the sort of condition and original packaging that separates shelf queens from basement fodder.

For buyers, the standout lots are the early Dinky Supertoys with their distinctive pre-war and 1950s detailing, plus the Corgi Toys that introduced jewelled headlights and working suspension. Donington has a track record of attracting marque enthusiasts, so expect bidding to come from both toy collectors and blokes who just want a miniature version of the real thing sitting on the mantel. The catalogue is worth a deep scroll, because the value here is in the condition and completeness, not just the model name.

If you’re chasing a specific casting, bring your patience and check each lot’s photos carefully. Mixed lots might hide a gem among the duplicates, and single-owner collections like this often have a few sleepers that slip through under the radar. Melbourne pickup will be the go for most, but Donington can sort freight for the bigger lots. Set your limit, stick to it, and let the auctioneer do the rest.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill garage cleanout. The Sydney Motorsport Sale pulls together decades of one enthusiast’s obsession, spanning classic cars and collectables that tell a story from pit lane to showroom floor. Donington Auctions has built a name shifting serious metal from Melbourne, and this catalogue leans heavily on the kind of stuff that gets collectors circling.

The car side is the headline act. European marques dominate, with the kind of metal that makes weekend warriors sweat: think 1970s GT coupes, a few muscle-era icons, and motorcycles that have been stored properly, not just parked up. Lot highlights include a restored Alfa Romeo GTV and a numbers-matching Triumph TR6, plus a brace of 1980s superbikes that have barely turned a wheel since new.

For the memorabilia hunter, there’s race-worn helmets with provenance, signed photography, and workshop manuals that go deeper than the usual coffee-table fodder. The single-owner angle matters here: nothing’s been flipped or patched together, so condition reports are worth reading closely. Bidding closes 16 August, and with a collection this tight, the early lots will set the tone. Get your inspection done beforehand if you’re serious.

Philips has put together a catalogue that leans heavily on quality over quantity. The art section is the main draw, with a mix of Australian and international works that should pull in both collectors and decorators looking for a point of difference. If you’re after furniture, the antique and 20th century pieces are worth a close look, particularly the timber lots that have held up well.

Jewellery buyers get their own slice, with rings, brooches, and chains spread across the sale. The decorative arts are where the value often hides, so check the ceramics, glass, and silverware lots for anything with a maker’s mark or a distinctive pattern. The auction closes on 10 August, so give yourself time to inspect the condition reports before bidding.

This sale goes beyond the usual run of cars. The 1963 EH Holden is a standout for anyone chasing early Aussie metal, while the 1974 Leyland Mini offers a more nimble classic. On two wheels, there is a 1981 Yamaha XS650 and a 1978 Honda CB400F, both with solid following.

The memorabilia side is worth a close look. Lots include a large collection of enamel signs, old service station clocks, and a stack of original workshop manuals. These items often outperform the vehicles on resale if you know what to look for.

Burns and Co run this from their Beresfield base, so it pays to check the inspection times if you are serious about a car. The auction closes on July 9, 2026. Get your bids in early.

Burns and Co are known for digging up decent classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, and the bits that go with them. This timed online sale pulls together a range of lots that should appeal to anyone restoring, racing, or just filling the shed. Expect the usual mix of project bikes, running classics, and parts that are hard to find locally.

Standout lots will likely be the vehicles, so check the photos and read the condition notes carefully. If you’re chasing memorabilia, there’s usually a few framed prints, signs, and workshop relics that pop up in these sales. Delivery is from Bayswater, so factor that into your bid if you’re not local.

Bidding closes on 23 July, so give yourself time to sort through the catalogue. Burns and Co run a tight ship, but it pays to register early and have your bids ready before the deadline. If you’ve got a specific project in mind, this is worth a look.

Burns and Co have built a name around classic and collectable vehicles, and this livestream auction leans hard into that territory. You’ll find automobilia and bike-related pieces, but the real draw is the broader memorabilia mixed in, which often throws up signage, badges, and workshop tools that don’t surface in a standard car sale.

If you’re chasing a specific marque or a particular era of motorsport, this is worth a dig through the catalogue. The Beresfield-based crew know how to present this stuff properly, and the livestream format means you can watch the action in real time from anywhere.

Bayswater is the pickup point, so factor in a trip east of Melbourne if you land something. Given the specialist nature of the vendor, condition varies lot to lot, so check the photos and any condition notes before bidding. The 23 July close date gives you a couple of weeks to sort your shortlist.

This is a proper enthusiast’s clearance from Burns and Co, delivered from Bayswater. The Park collection spans decades of petrolhead obsession, with standout lots like a restored 1970 Ford XY Falcon GT in factory-correct paint and a numbers-matching 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the 327 V8. Motorcycle fans get a 1972 Norton Commando 750 Roadster and a 1966 Triumph Bonneville T120R.

Beyond the vehicles, the memorabilia is deep. Expect original dealership signage, period-correct toolkits, service manuals, and a run of diecast models. The auction closes 29 June 2026. Buyers should factor in transport from Bayswater to their door.

This is the kind of sale where you need to read the room, because the lots are all over the shop. Abbey Auctions runs these on a regular cycle, pulling together unclaimed freight, old shop stock, and goods from estate clearances across Melbourne’s east. For the buyer, that means a grab bag of stuff that hasn’t been cherry-picked by dealers yet, which is exactly where the value sits.

The furniture is the backbone here. Look for older Australian-made pieces, solid timber sideboards, wardrobes, and dining tables that are heavy enough to matter. You’ll also see a fair bit of bric-a-brac: glassware, ceramics, lamps, and the occasional piece of art that someone’s nan held onto for decades. Retail stock can turn up too, often new-old-stock odds and ends that didn’t sell through normal channels.

Pickup is from the Highbury Road depot in Burwood, and there’s no in-person viewing, so you’re bidding on photos and descriptions alone. That’s a risk, but it keeps the competition honest. Check the condition notes carefully, factor in the drive and the loading time, and you can walk away with a full trailer for less than the cost of one new piece from a High Street shop. If you’re after cheap, solid furniture or stock to flip, this one’s worth a look.

This is a regular rotation from Abbeys Auctions, and the "Blue" catalogue is worth a dig for anyone flipping or furnishing. Expect the standard run of timber furniture, vintage ornaments, and household lots that come through their Box Hill rooms on the regular. The estate angle means you’ll often find older pieces with some character, not just flat-pack leftovers.

If you’re after practical lots, the retail stock and general household items are where the value sits, but the antiques and curios are the ones that can surprise. Check the photos carefully for condition, as estate goods are sold as-is. Bidding closes on the 14th of August, so give yourself time to sort the good from the filler.

The Classics Collection sale is a classic Melbourne picker’s fixture, with viewing from 9am Thursday at the Highbury Road rooms. It’s a broad offering, so if you’re after anything from timber sideboards and dining sets to old books, ceramics or oddball bric-a-brac, there’s likely something worth a look.

Deceased estate lots tend to be where the value sits, and this catalogue looks no different. Keep an eye out for quality joinery and pre-1950s pieces, which usually outperform the general furniture lots. If you’re a dealer or just refurnishing on a budget, the retail stock section is worth a browse too.

Check the lot photos before you head in, and don’t be afraid to inspect on Thursday. The auction closes Saturday 15 August, so give yourself time to sort out bidding. It’s a regular sale, not a clearance, so prices should stay realistic.

This is a sale for serious design enthusiasts, not just furniture buyers. The standout is the Giacomo Balla ‘Balla’ folding screen for Gavina, a piece that bridges Futurist art and functional design. Also worth a close look is the Meta Memphis pink and black light panel by Johanna Grawunder, which brings a bold, late-80s edge to the collection.

The furniture list reads like a who’s who of postwar Italian manufacturing. The Afra & Tobia Scarpa ‘Erasmo’ sofa for B&B Italia is a classic of soft, sculptural comfort, while the Angelo Mangiarotti ‘Eros’ side table for Skipper shows his mastery of marble and clean geometry. The vintage Murano glass bottle by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte adds a delicate, collectable counterpoint to the heavier timber and upholstered pieces.

Buyers should note this is a timed online auction closing on 17 August 2026, so there’s no live bidding frenzy, just a deadline. Check condition reports where available, as vintage Italian pieces often show wear from decades of use. The Luciano Bertoncini ‘Gronda’ mirrored coat rack for Elco and the Kazuhide Takahama ‘Bramante’ sideboard for Simon Gavina are the sort of lots that draw competitive bids from dealers, so set your own limit before the final day.

This is a specialist timepiece sale that leans heavily into Victorian and Edwardian craftsmanship. The standout is the Waltham chronograph, a complicated movement with split-seconds functionality that collectors chase. Also worth a close look: the Plojoux Geneve from circa 1870 and the Rotherhams London examples, both in 18ct gold hunting cases.

A rare Tasmanian connection appears with an 18ct gold openface pocket watch retailed by J Sparrow of Launceston, circa 1880. Lady buyers are not forgotten, with a jewelled openface pendant watch in 18ct gold from around 1905. The auction runs until 17 August 2026. Inspection is recommended for anyone serious about the condition of these antique movements.

Leonard Joel’s South Yarra specialists have pulled together a tight 12-plus lot sale that leans heavily on the big European houses. The Hermès pieces are the headline act: the Birkin 35 and the Kelly 32 both carry serious resale weight, and the Cartier Trinity top handle handbag adds a solid hard-luxury option. The vintage vanity trunk from Cartier is the sort of piece that turns up once a season, so expect some competitive bidding there.

For buyers looking past the obvious, the Louis Vuitton Noé monogram canvas pouch and the Rossmore clutch are practical entry points, while the Prada large wallet and Chanel WILD STITCH Surpique handbag round out the mix. The Gucci vintage silk scarf is a nice add-on lot for a lower spend. Condition is always the catch with pre-owned luxury, so check the images carefully before you commit. Bidding closes 18 August, and with the auctioneer’s track record in this category, the later hours will likely see the sharpest movement.

This one leans traditional, so if you’re after repro junk or flat-pack modern, look elsewhere. The furniture list reads like a proper house clearance: mahogany dining tables, cedar chests, and the kind of sideboards that need two blokes and a trailer. Condition varies, but that’s where the value sits for anyone willing to do a bit of restoration.

The art section is worth a browse, with Australian paintings that could punch above their estimate if the right bidders show up. Asian antiques are the wildcard, often slipping through when the crowd is focused on the furniture. Check the photos carefully for damage, particularly on veneers and porcelain, and factor in pickup from Abbotsford before you commit. Sale closes 26 August, so give yourself time to inspect if you’re local.

Deutscher and Hackett is running this one from Melbourne, and it’s a serious sale for anyone collecting Australian or international art. The catalogue leans on established names and secondary-market staples, so there’s real depth for buyers looking beyond the usual run-of-the-mill listings. Paddington-based, but the auction itself is online, closing 26 August.

Key lots span paintings, works on paper, and sculpture, with a focus on Australian modern and contemporary pieces. If you’re after something with provenance or a solid exhibition history, this is where you’ll find it. The international component adds a different flavour, but the local material is the backbone of the sale.

For buyers, the usual advice applies: check the condition reports and provenance notes before bidding. Deutscher and Hackett’s cataloguing is generally tight, so the estimates are worth taking seriously. If you’re chasing a specific artist or period, this is a sale to work through properly, not just skim.

This is a proper photographer’s estate sale, not a random box of junk. Tom Hellwege was a serious collector, so the lots span early plate cameras through to mid-20th century rangefinders and SLRs. The camera bodies alone include sought-after Leica M-series and Hasselblad 500 models, plus a stack of German and Japanese glass.

Beyond the cameras, the collection includes period flash units, tripods, developing tanks, and enlargers. There are also ephemera items like original manuals, catalogues, and signed prints. Condition will vary, but Hellwege was a known curator of his gear. If you shoot film or restore vintage photo equipment, this is the sale to watch.

Buyers should check the listing for the exact close date, as it is yet to be confirmed. Viewing details will likely be posted closer to the sale.

This is the Spencer Sandilands Collection, a deep trove of Australian printed material and maritime history assembled over decades. The strength is in the books and maps: early Australian exploration narratives, rare atlases, and hand-drawn charts from the age of sail. Collectors of Pacific voyages and Antarctic expeditions will find plenty to chase.

The lot list also leans into maritime artefacts, including ship models, navigational instruments, and logbooks. If you deal in Australian or nautical ephemera, this is a targeted sale worth watching. The close date is yet to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the countdown.

This is a serious sale for anyone in construction, renovation, or woodworking. The core of it is reclaimed timber, which means you are getting seasoned, stable material with character you won’t find in new stock. The mix of hardwoods like Red Gum and Blue Gum alongside Oregon and Tas Oak gives you options for structural beams, decking, or feature joinery.

The standout lots are the large-format pieces: wharf timbers and heavy beams are hard to source these days, and they command a premium in the right project. There’s also a solid run of LVLs if you need engineered, load-bearing lengths. Flooring is listed too, so if you’re patching an old house or matching a heritage build, this is worth a close look.

Check the lot list carefully and inspect where you can. Reclaimed timber varies in condition, so factor in cutting and dressing time for your quotes. With the close date still TBC, you have time to sort your sizes and budget, but don’t leave it to the last minute to register.

This is a bulk disposal of new and unused industrial components, ideal for workshops, quarries, or farms that need backup drives or replacement parts on the cheap. The lot list shows a heavy concentration of 3-phase motors ranging from small 0.55kW units up to large 75kW models, many still in original packaging. Conveyor hardware includes rollers, pulleys, and belt scrapers, while the pump section features centrifugal and slurry pumps suited to mining or water transfer.

The VSDs are the standout here. New Schneider Altivar and ABB ACS units cover a spread of power ratings, worth a premium if you need variable speed control. A buyer could piece together a full plant setup from this catalogue. Check the close date, as Gollant runs tight deadlines and this gear moves fast within the trade.
