National General Goods & IT Equipment (Online)
A mixed lot of commercial IT gear and general goods is on offer through Pickles, spread across multiple locations nationally.

FAQ
Where does IT auction stock come from?
The bulk comes from corporate refresh cycles with businesses replacing ageing hardware and disposing of the old equipment through auction. Government fleet upgrades, school system upgrades, and insolvency sales are also major sources.
Is secondhand IT equipment worth buying at auction?
Often yes, particularly for servers, networking gear, and commercial-grade monitors. Corporate equipment is typically heavier-built than consumer equivalents and has usually been lightly used in an office environment.
What should I check before bidding on IT lots?
Age, condition, whether it has been wiped and re-imaged, and whether warranties apply. Most lots are sold as-is with no software or licences included. Check the lot description carefully for what’s excluded.
Can I inspect IT lots before the sale?
Inspection periods vary. Some houses allow hands-on testing; others only permit visual inspection. Ask the auctioneer what’s permitted before bidding blind.
Trends & Insights
Supply is running hot across the first week of November, with 21 IT equipment auctions listed nationally for the week beginning 1 November 2026 (Auction Finder, Nov 1). The calendar is unusually dense: AllBids ACT opens Tuesday 3 November with 100 lots spanning bulk hard drives, Dell monitors, a 2012 iMac, Lenovo laptops and an HP PoE switch, while Pickles runs a national online sale on 4 November with 117 lots dominated by HP laptops plus pallets of boxed phone lockers (Auction Finder, Nov 1). Lloyds NSW follows the same day with printers and networking gear, and mgs SA closes out the week on 6 November.
The South Australian catalogue is the one to watch for high-spec workstation buyers. mgs Kilkenny is offering a Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 1 with an i7-10850H, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Quadro T2000, alongside sealed Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 tablets, a UV-LED printer bundle with laptop and a modular LED video wall, all drawn from end-of-lease stock (Mason Gray Strange, Nov 6). Buyers chasing mobile fleet units should note the sealed tablets, which rarely appear in this quantity outside dedicated corporate disposals.
Pricing benchmarks from late October give a useful read on the mid-tier. Dell Precision workstation medians sat around $364, with individual sales landing between $265 and $356, while refurbished ex-government Dell OptiPlex 7490 all-in-ones were listed at $315 delivered with warranty through late October channels (Auction Finder, Nov 1). That spread suggests competitive bidding on complete, tested units but softer demand where condition is unverified.
Western Australia gets its own run on 9 November, when Ross’s Auctioneers holds an online Welshpool sale featuring Lenovo X1 Carbon notebooks (damaged screen, i5, 8GB/256GB SSD, untested), USB-C docks, iPads and PC monitors (Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers, Oct 30). Inspection is 9 November, with a 16.5% buyer premium inclusive of GST and collection running 10 to 13 November. Watch condition reports closely on the untested notebook lots; the damaged-screen X1 Carbons will likely price as parts or dock donors rather than working machines.
Next week, buyers should watch whether the Pickles HP laptop volume depresses per-unit pricing in the eastern states and whether mgs workstation lots clear above the late-October Precision medians.

Rod’s Tips
Grays runs the highest volume of corporate IT disposals in Australia. Their rolling online sales include everything from single laptops to full server racks.
Bulk server lots can be exceptional value for homelabbers and small businesses. A rack of Dell or HP servers sold as one line item will often include drives, rails, and cabling but do check the photos and description carefully before bidding.
Check the generation before bidding on servers. A lot described as “servers x 5” could be Xeon E5 v4 or Pentium-era hardware. Model numbers matter enormously for value and usability.
Data security is your responsibility. Even wiped drives should be fully re-formatted before reuse. Assume any lot you buy has not been properly sanitised until you’ve verified it yourself.

Trading Cards, Gaming & Collectables
More detail
This is a broad Lloyds Auctions multi-lot online sale, with the collectables and IT gear sitting alongside vehicles, jewellery, plant and equipment, and general goods. For card collectors, the standout is the run of NBA sets: 1990-91 Hoops Series 1 and Series 2 retail sets, Skybox Series 1 and 2, Upper Deck sets, and 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops Premium Stock. The Demetric Felton UCLA rookie card adds a single-card option.
Pokemon buyers get sealed-style booster sets from the Mega Evolution line, with Mega Abyss Eye M5 and Storm Emeralda Eye M6 both listed in sets of 10, plus a nine-card Mega Evolution lot. On the console side there is a PS4 bundled with five games and a PS2, both worth checking for condition and included titles before bidding.
The sale closes 8 November. With 12+ lots listed across mixed categories, it pays to read each lot description closely, particularly on the consoles and any sealed card product.

Home Entertainment, Audio & Computers
More detail
This is a broad office and home tech clearance rather than a single-owner collection, so the range runs from serious AV kit to everyday peripherals. The Maxhub E6520 touchscreen on its mobile stand suits a meeting room or classroom, and the Epson EMP-760 is a practical portable projector for presentations. Two Toshiba e-STUDIO 4515AC multifunction units are listed, which means a small office could pick up printing, scanning and copying in one hit.
Audio and imaging lots add some character: Bose standing speakers paired with a vinyl record player, a Fuji FZ-3000 Zoom Date 35mm film camera, and a PICO projector for something more compact. There is also a black HDMI DMF-CI 8-central host control unit, a BAUHN speaker, and a bulk lot of assorted cord telephone handsets.
Buyers should note the desktop computers and monitors are listed as a group rather than itemised, and the MacBook Pro is marked used, so condition checks matter. With 12-plus lots and a national online format, inspection details and pickup logistics are worth confirming with Lloyds before bidding closes on 11 November.

National General Goods & IT Equipment (Online)
More detail
This is a national online sale running through Pickles, with stock held at various locations across the country. The catalogue leans heavily toward commercial and fitness equipment, which means buyers can chase specific items without wading through household clutter.
The standout pieces are the Balanced Body Allegro Commercial Pilates Reformer Packages and the Assault Fitness AirRunner treadmills, both serious bits of gym kit that hold their value. The eight CFD1-50De/S(G) fridges suit a cafe, office, or small retail fit-out, and the eBoard eBLE55EE 55" displays are worth a look if you need interactive screens for a workplace or classroom.
Smaller items round out the sale, including three aluminium foot stools and a pallet of assorted furniture. With 12+ lots and bidding closing 11 November 2026, it pays to check which location each item sits at before you commit, since collection terms will vary by site.

Trading Cards, Gaming & Collectables
More detail
The Pokemon content is the backbone here. Alongside the anniversary set and the Charizard promo, there are multiple 100+ card lots built around V, Mega EX, EX and holo pulls, a bulk collection bundle with ultra rares, and a Sword & Shield Zacian lot. Sealed product is represented too, with 10-pack sets from the Mega Abyss Eye M5 and Storm Emeralda M6 expansions.
Collectors outside the TCG lane get a 1996 Upper Deck Collector’s Choice #26 Michael Jordan and a Nintendo Switch console bundle with official accessories. Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so check each listing for condition and completeness before bidding.

Computers & IT Auction
More detail
The storage lots are the headline act here. You’ve got HP’s 3TB SATA drives in a lot of three, plus a pair of 10TB units: one HGST SAS 12Gbps and one Western Digital Purple Pro, the latter built for surveillance systems. If you’re running a NAS or a small server room, these are worth a serious look, especially if the bidding stays sensible.
On the computing side, the iMac is a Late 2012 model with a Core i5 and 21.5-inch screen, so it’s not cutting edge, but it’ll handle office work or light creative tasks without complaint. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is a basic Celeron laptop, fine for browsing and documents. The Dell 23-inch monitors and Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 LTE tablets round out the practical gear for a home office or small business refresh.
Networking types should check the HP 2920-48G switch. It’s a managed PoE+ unit with 48 gigabit ports, the kind of thing that usually costs real money new. If you’re building out a warehouse, workshop, or campus network, this could be the bargain of the lot. Allbids is running the sale in the ACT, so factor in pickup logistics before you bid.

Home Entertainment, Audio & Computers

The mix leans heavily toward consumables, which suits anyone running Ricoh or Konica Minolta machines and tired of retail pricing on drums and toner. Standouts include the Konica Minolta DR 512 CMY colour drum units and the DR311K black drum, plus a Ricoh MP C2503K black toner lot and boxed MX-27CT-C cyan cartridges. Assorted toner lots covering NPG-50 and G-25 codes round out the consumables.
The single printer on the list, a used Ricoh SP C360DN colour laser, gives buyers a hardware option alongside the supplies. Everything sits within Lloyds’ broader multi-lot online sale, which also spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so combining freight across categories is worth considering.
Closing 4 November 2026. Check drum and toner part numbers against your own machines before bidding, since compatibility varies across the Konica and Ricoh ranges listed.

– Auction – Assorted IT Equipment, Cameras, Watches, Jewellery & Much Much More – NSW Pickup
More detail
This is a classic O’Maras general clearance, so the single listed lot is really a grab-bag of whatever’s come through the door. If you’re chasing spare tech bits, a beater camera for parts, or something to flip on Gumtree, this is worth a look. The jewellery and watches could hide a decent pawn-shop score, but you’ll want to inspect in person before bidding.
Pickup is NSW-based, so factor that into your bid. No close date is locked in yet, so check the listing regularly. O’Maras run these regularly, and the crowd is usually a mix of locals and dealers, meaning the early lots can go cheap but the good stuff climbs fast. Bring a torch and check the drawers.
