That’s all the listings I have to date, if you know of regular auctions taking place in the Sydney area please drop a line and I will add it to this list.
Also note, in the past 18 months I have seen things change a lot and traditional in-room auctions are being consolidated into nationwide online auctions making life just a little bit harder for the bargain hunter. Many of the sites listed here are also beginning to head in the direction of online auctions.
