Inside This Week’s Melbourne Auction Market – 79 Upcoming Sales inc Classic Cars, Caravans & Collectables

Burns and Co know their way around classic and collectable metal, and this timed online sale leans on that strength. It’s a dealer and collector clearance, which usually means mixed lots, odd finds and the kind of stock that never makes it to a retail floor.

The sale is split into two parts, so expect a broad spread across memorabilia and collection items rather than one tidy category. Delivery comes out of Bayswater, with the auction house’s base in Beresfield NSW behind the catalogue.

Timed online means you bid on your own schedule, but the close date is fixed at 3 September. Read the lot descriptions properly, factor in delivery from Bayswater, and bid what the item is worth to you.

Burns and Co know their way around classic and collectable gear, and this sale leans into the niche end of the hobby. You are not looking at one or two stray items here, the catalogue is built around model cars and related memorabilia, which means plenty of scope for filling gaps in a collection or grabbing something for the shelf.

Dig through the listings for specific brands and scales if they are named, but the real draw is the mix. Diecast cars, promotional models, and display pieces tend to turn up in these sales alongside signage and other petrol-themed collectables. If you are chasing a particular casting or a bit of workshop wall art, this is worth a proper scroll.

Delivery is handled from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so factor that in if you are bidding from further out. Timed online format means you set your own pace, just check the close time for each lot and be ready to move when the countdown gets tight. Burns and Co run a tight ship, so the condition notes in each listing are worth reading before you commit.

Burns and Co have built their name on classic and collectable cars, bikes, and the sort of memorabilia that gets serious bidders clearing their Sunday. This one’s running as a livestream event, so you can sit in your shed and throw a bid without burning diesel to Beresfield. The catalogue leans heavy on motorcycles, with plenty of older Japanese and British iron, plus the usual run of enamel signs, manuals, and workshop tools that fill out a collectors’ sale.

Standout lots are the kind of thing you’d normally chase at a dedicated classic vehicle auction: original-condition bikes with matching numbers, period-correct accessories, and racing memorabilia with provenance. If you’re after a project or a tidy weekend rider, there’s likely something here. Check the lot photos carefully, because condition varies wildly, and ask Burns and Co for a condition report if you’re unsure. Bidding closes on 10 August, so register early and watch the livestream to gauge where the real interest sits.

Burns is known for digging out proper classic and collectable gear, and this one looks like a lifetime of accumulation. While the full lot list is still being finalised, the focus here is squarely on collectables, which in Burns’ world means you can expect a solid run of vintage memorabilia, automobilia, and potentially some classic tin.

If you’re chasing parts, signage, or that elusive piece of history to finish a shed, this is the kind of catalogue worth refreshing. The delivery point is 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so factor in freight or a pickup plan before you bid. Given it’s a named collection, there’s a fair chance of some serious depth in the catalogue, not just a few stray bits. Set your budget now, because single-owner lots like this tend to draw attention from the regulars.

Burns and Co know their way around a classic car yard, and this catalogue reflects that. The focus is on Australian and American muscle, with early Holdens and Falcons expected to draw the serious money. Motorcycle fans aren’t left out either, with a mix of road and race machines that range from restorable to ready-to-ride.

Beyond the vehicles, the memorabilia section is where the sharp money often moves. Original dealer signage, enamel badges, workshop manuals, and NOS parts can outperform the cars on a dollar-per-kilo basis. If you’re restoring something specific, check the parts bins early, because the good stuff goes fast.

Buyers should factor in the Bayswater location and arrange transport ahead of time. Burns and Co run a tight ship, so registration and inspection details are straightforward, but don’t rock up expecting to kick tyres on auction day without doing your homework first. The close date is the 10th of August, so pencil in your bids and stick to your limit.

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.

Christian McCann has put together a sale that leans on quality over quantity. The antique furniture side is the backbone here, with timber pieces that range from heavy Victorian-era sideboards to lighter, more refined Regency and George III styles. If you’re after something with a bit of colonial character, there’s usually a decent run of Australian cedar and mahogany in these catalogues, and this one looks no different.

The art section is worth a look too. Australian paintings, both colonial and early 20th century, often pop up in this room, and they tend to fly under the radar compared to the big city salerooms. Asian antiques are the other pillar, with porcelain, cloisonné, and bronze work that can offer real value if you know your periods. Carved wood items, including stands and screens, are also listed, so the decorative side is well covered.

Buyers should check condition notes carefully, as these older lots can carry restoration or wear that isn’t always obvious in photos. The auction closes on 13 September, so there’s time to inspect, but don’t leave it to the last minute. Abbotsford is easy to get to, and Christian McCann’s room has a good track record for honest cataloguing. If you’re filling a house or flipping a piece, this one’s worth a browse.

This is a broad retail clearance rather than a single-category sale, so the mix runs from consumer electronics to furniture and appliances. Apple products, Dysons, PlayStations and Sony electricals sit alongside home improvement stock, which means there is something here for most households.

Standout lots include the Moran Houston fabric sofa lounge chair with left-side chaise in Cranberry, a solid pick if you are kitting out a living room. On the appliance side there is a Solt 3.5kW portable air conditioner with remote, though note it is a display unit with no box. A JVC 40" QLED Smart TV with Quantum Dot colour, Google TV and Dolby Audio is also listed, again with no retail packaging. A Solt 60cm freestanding dishwasher in white rounds out the featured whitegoods.

Condition varies across the lots, and several featured items are display stock without boxes. Read each listing carefully before bidding, particularly on electronics and appliances where packaging and warranty details matter. Inspection is worth the trip if you are chasing the bigger-ticket items.

This is a compact sale, 13 lots all up, and it leans toward the practical end of the IT and audio spectrum. The headline items are a Dell G483G and K291G PowerEdge server sliding rail kit, a Sony SA-CT80 active speaker system, an Eaton 3S 700 uninterruptible power supply and a Sonab Cloud 9 CVM wireless volume master.

For anyone kitting out a home office or a small server rack, the rail kit and the Eaton UPS are the sort of gear that normally adds up quickly at retail. The Sony speaker system and the Sonab volume master round out the audio side.

Closing 13 September 2026. Inspect the lot list properly before bidding, condition and completeness vary across mixed auctions like this.

This is a returns clearance, so expect faulty or incomplete units rather than ready-to-run machines. Every lot is listed for parts, which suits repairers, resellers, or anyone chasing components like screens, batteries, and chassis parts for current models.

The Apple lot stands out: MacBook Air M4 13-inch is recent gear, and two units in one lot is unusual for a returns sale. The HP lots are grouped in threes, covering Pro x360 435 G10 convertibles, OmniBook X Flip and Elite 360 830 models, and a mixed pair of 14s-dq3002TU and EliteBook 820 G3 laptops.

No reserve applies across the board, and the auction closes 13 September 2026. Check each lot’s condition report before bidding, since parts-only means no guarantees on function.

This is a returns clearance, so expect the full spectrum: units with minor faults, units stripped for components, and everything in between. Each lot bundles three or four machines of the same family, which suits anyone repairing, harvesting parts, or rebuilding stock in volume.

The ThinkPad L13 lot spans Gen 4, Gen 5 and Gen 6 2-in-1s, four units in total. Dell features twice, with an Inspiron 14 2-in-1 and Latitude 5300 2-in-1 lot of three. Lenovo’s consumer side shows up via Yoga 7 14ILL10 and IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 units, while the final lot mixes a Legion 5 15IRX10 with HP Laptop 15 and ProBook machines.

No reserve applies across all four lots, and the auction closes 14 September 2026. Condition is listed as for parts throughout, so factor in repair time or parts value before bidding. Inspection details and pick-up arrangements sit with the listing.

The lot list leans hard on brands people actually recognise. Breville and Nespresso cover the coffee side, Philips and Dyson handle grooming and cleaning, and Hozelock and Bosch sort out the shed and garden. Cygnetts and Silverpaw fill the gaps for tech and pets, so there is something here for most households.

Standouts include an Apple iPhone 16 128GB in black, model A3287, listed with limited warranty. A Thomasville modular fabric sectional six-piece sofa lounge with ottoman in grey anchors the furniture side, and a 60cm freestanding stainless steel dishwasher is listed as powering on with no further testing. A Solt 5.5kg top load washer is also on the block, noted as having no box.

Condition varies across the catalogue, so read each lot description before bidding. The dishwasher and washer notes in particular flag items sold as-is with limited testing, which is worth factoring into your numbers.

The two JLG Toucan 10E units are the pick of the lot for anyone needing reliable vertical access. The 2023 model is nearly new, while the 2012 unit offers a cheaper entry point for site work. Both are electric, quiet, and suited to indoor maintenance jobs, warehouse fit-outs, or facility teams.

On the vehicle side, the 2006 Suzuki GDN71V petrol van is a solid runabout, while the 2005 Ford Transit T350 refrigerated unit is worth a look if you do food delivery or temperature-sensitive transport. The Transit’s fridge body adds real value if it’s in working order, so factor in a pre-bid inspection.

The GPU hardware suggests there’s computing gear in the mix too, which could appeal to miners, render farms, or IT recyclers. With only ten lots and an unreserved sale, expect competitive bidding on the newer manlift. Check Grays’ listing for the close date and arrange site viewing before you commit.

The Ford E350 is a proper slice of US RV culture, built on a heavy-duty van chassis. For buyers chasing a project or a budget tourer, this one offers a blank canvas: think V8 power, a boxy body with plenty of room to rework, and that unmistakable late-80s American styling. Grays has it listed as an individual lot in their ongoing auction schedule, so no fixed close date is pinned yet, meaning you’ll need to watch the listing for when bidding actually wraps.

Given the age, don’t expect showroom condition. Check for rust around the cab, the condition of the house electrics and plumbing, and whether the engine and transmission are healthy. The E350 platform is well supported for parts, but shipping and compliance costs could add up if you’re not local. Still, for someone handy with a spanner and a bit of patience, this could be a cheap entry into a proper motorhome, not a converted van. Keep an eye on the photos and any service history Grays has uploaded before you bid.

This is a focused sale for anyone who works metal or runs a shop floor. The Hitachi Seiki HG400 machining cell and the Mazak Quick Turn 8 lathe are the headline machines, both serious pieces of production gear rather than hobby-grade kit. A Philips X-Ray Machine and Control Panel also features, with the large unit and control panel listed among the featured lots.

With 28 lots on the block, the spread leans toward toolmaking and engineering equipment rather than general goods. Buyers should check the condition reports and inspection details on each listing before bidding, particularly on the larger machines where rigging and transport will need planning.

The auction closes 16 September 2026 at 10am.

The Retreat Brampton is a well-regarded single-axle van, built for off-grid trips with a decent payload and practical interior. Grays has listed this as an individual lot, so you’re bidding on the whole van, not a package. Look for the usual wear on the annexe and tyres, but the 2016 build should still have plenty of life if it’s been looked after.

Inside, expect the standard Brampton fit-out: a front double bed, mid-kitchen with a full oven and grill, and a rear bathroom with a separate shower. Storage is generous for a van this size, and the external hatch makes loading gear easy. If the photos show a clean service history or recent rego, that’s a bonus worth chasing.

Buyers should factor in pickup logistics from Dandenong South, so arrange a tow vehicle or transporter before you bid. Grays runs this as a timed auction, so watch the countdown and have your maximum figure ready. No reserve games here, just a straight bid on a solid touring van.

This isn’t a stripped-back camper. The Windsor Flinders packs in the usual comforts you’d expect from a modern motorhome, including a decent kitchen setup, bathroom, and sleeping areas. Based on the Ducato chassis, it’s a solid tourer for longer trips, not just a weekend jaunt.

If you’re after a turnkey setup, this one’s got the hard bits sorted: it’s a 2023 build, so you’re looking at current safety and emissions gear, and the Ducato’s a proven workhorse for conversions. Check the odometer and service history when you inspect, and factor in any rego or transfer costs.

Given it’s a single lot from Grays’ rolling auction format, you’ll need to watch the listing for a confirmed close date. Don’t assume it’ll sit there; these late-model motorhomes tend to pull interest, so get your inspection done early and have your bid ready.

The Ducato platform is a proven base for motorhome builds, and this 2023 example should still be under factory warranty, which is a solid tick for anyone wary of used RV niggles. Grays is selling it as a standalone lot, not part of a mixed clearance, so the condition report and photos will matter more than usual.

Check the odometer reading and service history in the listing, because a late-model motorhome that’s done serious highway kays is a different proposition to one that’s mostly sat in a shed. Look for the usual Fiat Ducato specifics: diesel engine, manual or auto box, and the layout inside, whether it’s a rear island bed, dinette conversion, or something more compact.

If you’re after a turnkey holiday rig without the new-car price, this is worth a close look. Dandenong South pickup means you’ll need to arrange transport or be ready to drive it out, so factor that into your bid. Keep an eye on the lot page for the close date and any added inspection notes, as Grays tends to update these closer to the end.

The 2025 Jasmine OES MS-5 is a serious bit of kit for anyone chasing a modern van without the new-car showroom sting. It’s listed as a single lot, not part of a bigger clearance, so the condition should be tight. The MS-5 sits in Jasmine’s off-grid range, meaning you’re looking at a decent solar array, lithium battery management, and a proper water tank setup as standard.

Inside, the OES trim typically runs a rear island bed, a well-appointed ensuite, and a lounge that converts if you need extra sleeping space. The kitchen’s got the usual slide-out cooktop and 12V/240V fridge, but check the photos for any added extras like a diesel heater or upgraded entertainment. Given it’s a 2025 build, it’ll still be under factory warranty, so that’s a point in your favour if anything’s not right.

Buyers should clock the VIN and do a quick rego check, plus confirm the ATM and tare weights if you’re towing with a specific vehicle. Grays online auctions here run to a set close time, so don’t leave your bid to the last minute. Dandenong South pickup means you’ll need to sort transport or tow it away yourself, so factor that into your budget.

Grays is running this clearance out of Melton, VIC, with 100 lots spanning tech, appliances and home gear. The headline act is an Apple iPhone 16 128GB in Ultramarine (S/N: HQ66YWQ6W1), though note it comes without packaging. Battery condition is flagged in the notes, so check the listing before bidding.

Beyond the phone, there’s a Celestron AZ 102 telescope with smartphone adapter. It’s assembled and comes without its box, which keeps the price down if you just want to look at the sky. A Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker (model NC300) is also listed with a slightly damaged box, contents presumably fine.

The rest of the catalogue covers Dyson, PlayStation, Sony electricals and home improvement lines, so there’s plenty to scroll through. Inspections and pickup are both in Melton, so factor that into your bidding if you’re interstate.

The shelters are the drawcard here, all listed as unused. Sizes run from standard 40ft through to a 40ft x 80ft heavy duty model, with several variants including end wall configurations and an extra heavy duty option. For anyone needing covered storage or a workshop footprint on a rural or industrial site, buying at auction beats paying retail on these.

Beyond the shelters, the catalogue covers tool boxes, generators and general workshop gear. Handy if you are kitting out a shed or topping up equipment without a trip to the big box stores.

Inspections and close date are still to be confirmed, so check the listing for updates before you commit.

The Swan Outback sits at the tougher end of Jayco’s camper range, with a wind-up hard floor, independent suspension and a chassis meant to handle corrugations that would shake a standard on-road camper apart. For anyone chasing a first camper or a cheap upgrade, this is the sort of lot worth watching.

Being a single-lot listing, there’s no bulk bidding pressure. What you see is what you’re bidding on, so condition matters more than ever. Check the canvas, the bed end flys, the fridge and the gas setup before you commit.

Inspect in person if you can. Camper trailers hide their problems in the seams and the suspension, and a 2008 build will have had plenty of trips to show for it.

This is a 2023 Tungsten X Terrain from Urban Caravans, a model built for dirt roads and free camps rather than bitumen-only touring. The X Terrain badge points to a heavier-duty running gear setup than the standard Tungsten, which is the spec most buyers chase in this range.

The WOVR notation is the key detail. A written-off vehicle register listing means the van has been recorded after an insurance event, so inspect the repairs and confirm what’s actually been fixed before you commit. Grays is running this as an individual lot within its rolling auction format, with the close date still to be confirmed.

Worth a look if you’re after a near-new off-road van and you’re comfortable doing the homework on its history.

This is a single caravan lot from a Grays Online auction, not a whole fleet clearance. The GT Sport Cross Country is Roadstar’s off-road-oriented build, and the 2025 model year means it’s the current shape and specification.

Ex-demo status is worth noting. It’s had some use, likely as a display or showroom unit, so expect minor wear but also the chance to inspect it as it sits rather than order blind. The van is located across Dandenong and Truganina in Victoria, so confirm which site it’s at before you plan a look.

Grays runs these listings with a set close time, so check the listing for the exact end date and inspection details.

This is a 2024 build, which means the big depreciation hit has already been taken by someone else. The Titanium Hardcore ATX Ti S4 sits in the off-road end of the market, so expect the usual kit that comes with that badge: heavy-duty suspension, raised ride height, and a body built for dirt roads rather than bitumen only.

It’s being sold as an individual lot within a Grays rolling auction, so the listing is straightforward, one van, one buyer. Condition isn’t detailed in the notes beyond the model and year, so inspect the photos and any inspection report closely, particularly around the chassis, suspension, and any signs of off-road use.

Close date is still to be confirmed. Worth watching the listing for when it firms up.

This is a single-lot listing: one 2016 Black Series Dominator camper trailer, sold as part of a Grays Online auction. Black Series built its reputation on heavy-duty off-road campers, and the Dominator sits at the top of that range with independent suspension, a full off-road chassis and a slide-out kitchen setup.

Because it’s a standalone lot rather than a fleet clearance, you’re bidding on one unit. Inspect it properly before the close date, which is still to be confirmed. Check the canvas, the suspension and the electricals, since those are where camper trailers of this age tend to need money spent.

The Outback Hawk sits at the top of Jayco’s camper trailer range from that era, with a heavy-duty galvanised chassis, independent suspension and a wind-up hard floor that sleeps a family. The 2001 model year is well-regarded among Jayco owners for its simple, repairable build and strong parts availability.

This is a single lot from a Grays Online auction, so you are bidding on the one camper rather than a mixed catalogue. Condition, registration and rego history are not detailed in the listing, so inspect the photos and any inspection report carefully before bidding.

Camper trailers of this vintage hold their value well in the used market, and Outback variants consistently fetch more than the standard Hawk. Worth a look if you want a capable off-road camper without new prices.

This is a single caravan lot, the 2026 Lake Star Atrium 196, offered as part of a Grays Online auction. Being a 2026 build, it’s essentially current stock, which is worth noting if you’re weighing up a new van against this one.

Grays runs these listings regularly, so the format will be familiar if you’ve bought through them before. Check the lot details for the full spec sheet and condition report before bidding, and confirm inspection arrangements with the auctioneer at Dandenong/Truganina. Close date is still to be confirmed.

The Crusader Excalibur Prince is a solid Australian-built van, and this one dates to 2019, so it’s a relatively modern unit rather than an older project. Crusader caravans are known for their off-road capable builds, and the Excalibur range sits toward the touring end of their lineup.

This is an individual lot within a Grays rolling auction, meaning it’s listed on its own rather than bundled with other gear. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit.

If you’re in the market for a used van and want to skip the private-seller runaround, this is worth a look. Inspect it properly before bidding, as with any auction purchase.

The 2022 Star Vision PX3 is the pick of the bunch if you want a modern van without waiting out a factory order. It’s a full-height caravan built for family trips, and being only a few years old, it should still have plenty of life left in the tyres and suspension.

The 2005 Jayco Expander is the budget option here. It’s an older pop-top, so expect some wear, but Jayco parts are easy to source and these things tow light behind a standard family car. The 2022 Goldfields Sovereign camper trailer rounds out the lot, offering something more off-road capable if you’re heading past the blacktop.

Check the photos carefully for any signs of water ingress or impact damage, especially on the older Jayco. Registration status and roadworthiness aren’t confirmed, so factor in a tow truck or trailer hire if you win. Auction close date is still to be confirmed, so keep an eye on the listing for the countdown.

The 2019 Sprinter 416 is the pick for anyone chasing a turnkey tourer. It’s already set up as a camper, which means the hard work of fitting out a van is done. Diesel power and the Sprinter’s reputation for mileage make it a sensible option for long-haul trips, whether you’re heading up the coast or across the Nullarbor.

The 2018 Sprinter 516 diesel is more of a blank canvas. It’s a solid base if you want to build your own layout or use it as a crew hauler. The 2023 Jayco Journey 17.58-1 is the family option, with Jayco’s usual fit-out and a recent build year, so it should have plenty of life left in it.

All three are listed under the one auction, so it’s worth checking the condition reports before bidding. Grays runs these sales regularly, but with only three lots here, the action should move quickly once the close date is locked in.

The Talawana X15 is the pick of the lot if you want something modern and ready to roll. Austrack built these for off-grid trips, so expect a solid setup for touring rather than a weekend-only van. It’s only three years old, which means you’re getting current gear without paying new prices.

The Millard caravan is the practical middle ground, a well-known Aussie brand that holds up in the resale market. For anyone chasing a cheap entry into camping, the 1998 Jayco Flamingo is a classic lightweight option, easy to tow and simple to fix if anything needs attention.

Check the listing photos and condition reports before bidding, as Grays auctions on this kind of stock can vary from tidy to needing work. If you’re after a van for a lap or a permanent spot in the backyard, this one’s worth a look.

The METOS Proveno is the standout here for anyone doing sauces, soups, or large-batch mixing. It’s a 2019 model, electric-powered, and the jacketed design gives you even heat across the bowl while the mixing arm does the work. That’s a proper piece of kit for a small factory, commercial kitchen, or a serious catering operation, and it’s built to handle continuous use.

The Rational VCC311 is the other half of this pairing, and it’s a workhorse in any professional kitchen. With 150 litres of capacity, it’s suited to high-volume roasting, steaming, and combi cooking. Rational gear holds its value well, and this one is a floor model that will slot straight into a busy service.

Both lots are being offered from the one site, so if you’re upgrading or outfitting a kitchen, you can grab the full setup in one go. Check the listing for inspection times and any condition notes before you bid.

These are not your usual second-hand farm finds. Every tank in this catalogue is listed as unused, which means no prior fuel residue, no rust from service, and no compliance headaches from previous owners. For a buyer needing certified storage without the lead time on a new unit, that is a significant edge.

The standout is the 22,000-litre self-bunded tank, ideal for bulk diesel or AdBlue storage on a large operation. The 11,000-litre and 10,000-litre bunded cubes offer a more compact footprint while still delivering serious capacity, and the 4,500-litre unit suits smaller fleets or backup supply. Self-bunded design means no separate concrete bund is required, cutting installation costs.

Shepparton is a solid pickup point for buyers across northern Victoria and southern NSW. Given the unused status, expect strong interest from transport companies, rural contractors, and fuel distributors. Check the listing for the close date, and factor in transport logistics before bidding, these are heavy items that need proper lifting gear and a suitable truck.

This is a straight-up chance to grab brand-new, never-used housing and storage options, not the usual worn-out gear that turns up at auction. The standout is the Brown Expandable 2 Bedroom Container House with Ensuite, which is exactly what it says: a container that opens out into a proper two-bedder with its own bathroom. That alone is a serious option for a rural block, a granny flat, or a temporary site setup.

The other expandable container houses, all unused and with ensuites, are worth a look if you need something smaller or want to run multiple units on one site. The portable foldout house is the wildcard, ideal for quick deployment or a weekend escape. All items are listed as unused, so you’re buying new stock, not someone else’s problem.

With 18 lots total, expect a mix of the houses and containers, plus whatever else Grays has bundled in. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing regularly. If you’re after instant, move-in-ready accommodation without the building hassle, this is the one to track.

Donington Auctions runs this one out of Melbourne, and it leans into what the house does best: classic, collector and performance machinery with a European bent, plus the muscle cars and motorcycles that keep the local crowd interested. The Formula One and Grand Prix theme shapes the catalogue, so expect the collectables side to carry race-linked pieces rather than generic garage clutter.

The classic cars category is where the bigger money usually lands with this auctioneer, and the Grand Prix angle suggests some of that stock will have competition history or period racing relevance behind it. Worth a look if you follow the European marques closely.

Close date is 14 September 2026, so there is time to study the lots properly rather than panic-bid. Check the full catalogue for condition notes and paperwork before you commit.

Donington Auctions has put together a solid catalogue for anyone chasing reference material on classic and performance motorcycles. The lots lean heavily toward printed matter, so expect factory workshop manuals, owner’s handbooks, and glossy sales brochures that fill the gaps when restoring or verifying a project bike.

Beyond the standard literature, there’s likely to be some rarer marque-specific material tucked in, given Donington’s usual focus on European and muscle-era machinery. If you’re restoring a bike and need the correct torque specs or wiring diagrams, this is the kind of sale where you can pick up the exact manual without chasing a photocopy online.

The auction closes 7 September, and bidding runs through the Donington platform. Melbourne buyers can inspect in person, but the sale is online, so interstate punters can get in on it too. Sort through the lots early, because the good stuff tends to get buried under the generic Haynes and Clymer reprints.

Donington Auctions runs this sale out of Melbourne, and it leans hard into Italian marques. The lots mix printed material with display pieces: marque-specific books, scale models and memorabilia tied to Ferrari, Lamborghini and Alfa Romeo. For anyone building a garage library or a display shelf, the range covers both.

Books and models like these often surface one at a time through private sales, so a single catalogue pulling them together is worth a look. Condition and completeness vary across lots, so check each listing before bidding.

Donington specialises in classic, collector and performance car auctions, with European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles forming the core of its business. This sale sits alongside that specialty rather than apart from it. Inspection details and the full lot list are on the auction page.

This is a tightly curated grouping that leans into the shift in Australian art history, where female practitioners were long sidelined. The standout is Mary Cecil Allen’s *Reflections* from around 1920, still in its original John Thallon frame, a solid piece of her early Melbourne output before she moved to the US. Norah Gurdon is represented twice, with a floral still life from 1927 and the later *A Winter’s Day* from 1937, showing her range across intimate subjects and broader landscapes.

The print section is where the sharp-eyed buyer can move. Eveline Syme’s *The Duomo Steps, Siena* is a 1931 linocut in a tiny edition of 25, and it’s a classic of the Grosvenor School-influenced style she picked up in London. Dorrit Black’s 1930 bookplate for S. R. Phippard is a quirky, small-scale piece, while Lill Tschudi’s *Visiting Day* from 1937 carries the Swiss artist’s crisp, angular take on the medium.

Condition varies across the older oils, so factor in conservation costs if you’re bidding on the larger works like Aileen Dent’s *Zinnias* or Gladys Reynell’s *Mixed Bunch*. The sale closes 14 September 2026, and with only 12 lots listed, it’s a manageable catalogue to work through. Worth a look if you collect Australian women

This is a tightly curated sale of 12+ lots, all from one collection, and it leans heavily into 1930s Australian and English Art Deco furniture. The dining suite is the anchor: a mirrored-top table at 213cm long with eight matching walnut and upholstered chairs. That’s a full room set, which rarely comes up as a complete grouping.

Beyond the furniture, the decorative pieces carry the interest. The Clarice Cliff lot pairs a ‘Crepe de Chine’ tea set for four with two ‘Silver Autumn’ plates, giving buyers a chance at two patterns in one bid. The Philco ‘Boomerang’ is a design icon of postwar Australian manufacturing, and the condition of the bakelite casing will be the main point to check. The ‘Elevette’ drinks cabinet, attributed to Asprey, is the sort of piece that draws serious collectors, and the chrome-framed tantalus alongside it suggests the original owner liked to entertain properly.

Two large loom patchwork rugs, both around 3.9m long, offer a textural contrast to all that polished walnut and mirrored glass. Leonard Joel runs these specialist interiors sales regularly from South Yarra, so the cataloguing and condition reports should be reliable. Bidding closes 15 September, and with only a dozen lots, the auction will move quickly once each one ends.

This is a specialist sale for collectors who know their hallmarks. The bulk of the catalogue is 18ct gold openface pocketwatches spanning the 1850s to the 1890s, with names like P & A Guye, Rotherams London, and Cozens Matthews & Thorpe sitting alongside unsigned pieces from the same era. Condition and movement details will matter here, so request condition reports before bidding.

The military lots stand apart from the gold. An Omega WWII nickel-cased openface tank pocketwatch, issue number BB 2354, carries the kind of provenance that defence collectors chase, and the Jaeger-LeCoultre chrome general service piece from 1947 is the other standout. Both sit in a different price bracket to the gold, which makes them worth watching if you want a military entry point without the 18ct premium.

Leonard Joel runs these collectables sales regularly out of South Yarra, and this catalogue is small enough to inspect properly. Twelve-plus lots means less competition per piece than a general antiques auction, though the gold content alone sets a floor on most of the room. Check the close date and get your bids in before 5 October.

Deutscher and Hackett runs major auctions of Australian and international art, and this sale sits squarely in that territory. The Melbourne event covers two categories, art and collectables, giving buyers a mix of established names and secondary pieces to weigh up.

The house has built its reputation on curated fine art sales, so expect a catalogue put together with some care rather than a bulk clearance. International works sit alongside Australian pieces, which widens the field for anyone chasing a specific artist or period.

Bidding closes 15 September 2026. If you’re after fine art at auction rather than retail, this is the sort of sale worth a proper look through the full lot list before the clock runs down.

This one’s got more than just a few pretty pictures. The collection cuts across styles, so you’ll find bold abstract pieces sitting alongside surrealist works that’ll make you stop and look twice. Lawsons has a solid track record with weekly auctions covering furniture, books, wine, jewellery, and decorative arts, but this dedicated art sale suggests the lots have been curated with a bit more intent than the usual mixed bag.

If you’re after statement pieces, the abstract and surrealist end of the catalogue is where the interest will be. Expect a mix of mediums and eras, which means there’s room for both seasoned collectors and first-timers looking to start a wall of their own. The sale closes 15 September 2026, so there’s time to do your homework on the catalogue. Check the condition reports if you’re bidding sight unseen, and factor in pickup logistics from Melbourne before you commit.

Abbeys Auctions runs this Box Hill saleroom as a steady clearing house for unclaimed goods, deceased estates and retail stock. That mix means the catalogue moves between antique furniture, boxed retail lines and one-off curios, so there is usually something for both the home and the shed.

Because the stock comes from estates and unclaimed lots, condition and quantity vary lot to lot. Read each listing and inspect where you can. Dates and viewing times sit with the auctioneer.

Abbeys Auctions runs regular public sales out of Box Hill, and this weekly estate auction pulls together the usual mix: antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estate items. It suits buyers chasing one-off pieces rather than bulk lots.

The estate side of the catalogue tends to throw up the interesting stuff, old furniture and household goods that have sat in the one home for decades. Retail stock and curios round out the sale for anyone hunting smaller pickups.

Check the full lot list before bidding. Condition varies across estate goods, so inspect where you can and confirm pickup details with the auctioneer.

Abbeys is putting together another solid public sale from their Box Hill rooms, catering to collectors who like a bit of variety. The catalog leans heavily on the classics side, so you’ll find older pieces with character rather than mass-produced modern gear. Keep an eye out for standout lots like cast-iron banks, tinplate toys, and enamel advertising signs, all of which tend to draw a crowd when they surface in this condition.

Beyond the toys and signage, there’s a healthy run of antique furniture, including sideboards, cedar chests, and occasional tables that suit a period home or a flipper looking for a quick tidy-up. The auction house also pulls in retail stock and deceased estate goods regularly, so the mix can change right up to close. If you’re chasing something specific, it’s worth checking the lot photos closely, as condition varies across the board. Bidding closes 19 September, so register early and set your own limit based on what you see in the images.

Abbeys Auctions runs regular public sales from its Box Hill base, covering antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estates. This technology-focused catalogue fits that mould, pulling together computers, electronics and general tech stock into a single sale.

Bidding opened online from 11 September and runs until 24 September, so there is time to inspect the lots and plan your approach. With a mix of retail stock and estate items in the room, expect a spread of conditions and eras rather than a single tidy category.

Check the catalogue for the full rundown of what is on offer.

This one has the feel of a cleared-out farm shed, and the variety reflects a working operation shutting down. The Kenworth K100G is the headline truck, a classic cab-over that still has serious pulling power for moving plant and stock. For livestock work, there are four Advantage Feeders units, including three 1800HD grain feeders and an 800HD, plus a cradle hay feeder, so if you run cattle or sheep, this is a chance to grab feeding gear in one hit.

Spraying and spreading are covered too. The 2017 Goldacres Batchmate 800 is a proper broadacre spray unit, while the Roesner Marshall Multispread 810T handles fertiliser or lime spreading. Two tractor buckets, one from Kerfab in 2023 and an older unit, round out the attachments. The auction closes on 22 September, and with 12 lots plus, it’s worth a look if you’re after anything from heavy haulage to day-to-day paddock kit. Pickles has the details up now, so get in before the close.

This is a fleet-rotation sale, meaning the Actros 2643 has likely been worked hard but maintained to a schedule. For buyers, that’s the appeal: a late-model European prime mover coming out of a logistics operation, not a one-off trade-in. The 2643 designation points to a 430 hp output, a solid sweet spot for linehaul and interstate work.

The single-lot format keeps things simple. No rummaging through mixed gear, just one truck to assess and bid on. Given the national scope of the vendor’s operation, the vehicle may have covered serious kms, so inspection and service history will be key. Pickles has the listing live now, with the close date set for late September 2026.

If you’re in the market for a late-model Actros, this is a direct shot at a fleet-maintained unit. Check the listing for photos and any available service records, and factor in a pre-auction inspection if the truck is accessible. Bidding closes on 29 September 2026.

Philips Auctions has put together a broad fine and decorative arts sale out of Malvern, VIC. The catalogue spans original artwork, antique furniture, 20th century furniture, jewellery and decorative arts, so there is plenty to sort through whether you collect seriously or just want one good piece.

Jewellery and decorative arts sit alongside the furniture, which means the sale covers both statement pieces and smaller items worth watching. The mix of antique and 20th century furniture gives buyers a real spread of eras to choose from.

The auction closes 21 September 2026. If you are chasing art, furniture or jewellery, this is worth a proper look through the full catalogue before bidding.

Breen Auction Group has been the preferred auctioneer for Victoria Police for over 15 years, so the provenance is solid. This is a classic police auction where you’ll find a grab-bag of seized goods, from cordless drills and angle grinders to laptops, tablets, and stereo gear. There’s also general merchandise that could include everything from homewares to sporting equipment.

The key here is that lots are sold as-is, with no returns. That means a sharp eye on the photos and descriptions pays off. If you’re after workshop tools or cheap electronics to flip, this is the kind of sale where a $10 bid can net a $200 item. Just factor in pickup from Sunshine West and bring cash or card on the day.

Don’t expect a polished retail experience. Police auctions are raw, but for the bargain hunter who knows their gear, the value is often in the unknown. Get in early, inspect if you can, and bid smart.

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 full workshop clear-out rather than a handful of odd lots. The Horizon Stitchliner 5500 CST is the centrepiece for anyone running a bindery, backed by Stahl and Horizon folders and a stack of paper drills. Add the ITOH 115 guillotine and you have the core of a finishing line in one sale.

The digital and wide-format side is covered too: a Konica C6100 digital press plus four Epson colour machines, which suits a shop looking to add short-run or signage work without buying new. Three GBC and Protopic laminators round out the finishing kit.

Two 2.5T forklifts, Hyster and Nissan, are included as well. That tells you the scale of what is being moved on, and it means a buyer can walk in and shift the heavy gear themselves. Close date is still TBC, so check the listing for updates.

This is a genuine gym clear-out, not a handful of odd machines. The cardio floor is stacked with Technogym treadmills, ellipticals and both upright and recumbent bikes, so anyone kitting out a studio or home gym can bid on matched commercial-grade gear rather than piecing it together one unit at a time.

The strength side covers pin-loaded and plate-loaded stations, giving buyers a shot at the heavy kit that usually carries a serious price tag new. Standout for many will be the 15 Aligin reformer Pilates beds, a solid block of identical units that suits a studio setup or a reseller with clients waiting.

With over 300 lots in the one sale, there is room to chase single items or bulk up a full fit-out. Close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you plan your bids.

This sale pulls together the full workings of a dedicated plastic sheetforming operation, so it’s not just spare parts. The standout is the Elumatec twin-head saw, built for precise aluminium cutting, which sits alongside the hydraulic forming press and production oven that handle the heavy shaping work. For anyone in skylight fabrication, signage, or custom plastic forming, the vacuum moulds are where the value sits, as they’re often tooled to specific profiles and cost serious coin to replicate new.

Beyond the machinery, there’s a decent stock of sheet material to factor into your bid. That’s useful if you’re planning to run jobs straight after purchase, saving a trip to the supplier. The Melbourne location means freight is manageable for interstate buyers, but check the close date as it’s still to be confirmed. Given the specialist nature of the gear, this one suits a trade buyer or a workshop looking to expand into plastic forming without paying retail for new equipment.

Gollant is running this one across three locations, so expect to travel if you want the full pick. The Toyota forklift is the practical buy here, with a two-stage mast and security ignition, built for warehouse or workshop duties rather than heavy site work. The 1980 Ford Escort is the curveball, a four-door sedan that could be a resto project or a parts donor, depending on what’s underneath.

The boat and trailer combo adds a bit of weekend flavour to an otherwise industrial catalogue, and the CIG Transtig 275 is a serious bit of TIG kit for anyone doing stainless or aluminium fabrication. Check the listing for each location’s close time, because with three sites, the lots won’t all finish on the same schedule. Sort out transport before you bid, especially for the forklift and the boat.

EJ Ainger has built a name for itself in Melbourne’s antiques trade, and this September sale looks to be a proper mixed bag for anyone furnishing a period home or chasing a specific decorative piece. Day one on Tuesday 8 September gets things moving, with the second session rolling into Wednesday 9 September, so there’s time to sort through the lots without rushing.

The strength here is the range. You’re not just looking at one category; the auction covers everything from heavy timber furniture to delicate porcelain and silver, plus paintings that could suit a seasoned collector or someone after a quality statement piece for the wall. Australian works sit alongside international offerings, so the bidding floor should see a bit of variety in taste and budget.

For buyers, the key is to do the groundwork before Tuesday. Ainger’s catalogues are detailed, and with two days of selling, the pacing means you can watch how day one goes before committing on day two. Richmond is easy enough to get to for a pre-auction inspection, so it’s worth getting hands-on with anything you’re serious about.

EJ Ainger’s regular rotation of antiques and decorative art is a solid bet for anyone chasing quality without the Paddington showroom price tag. This September sale spans two days, which means the catalogue is substantial, and the Richmond VIC premises will be busy with dealers and private buyers. The focus is on traditional furnishings and objets, not the flat-pack stuff that clogs up most online auctions.

Look for Australian and international works sitting alongside period furniture and decorative objects. If past Ainger sales are any guide, the standout lots will be the ones with provenance or a distinctive maker’s mark, so check the condition reports before you bid. Day two often holds the leftovers, but that’s where the quiet bargains hide. Clearance times will be tight, so arrange transport early if you land something bulky.
