Inside This Week’s Melbourne Auction Market – 41 Upcoming Sales inc Model Cars, Classic Cars & Unclaimed Goods

Burns and Co know their way around collectable gear, with a specialty in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia held out of Beresfield in NSW. This timed online format gives you room to work through the lots at your own pace rather than fronting up on a single day.

Model cars are the headline here, and the mix of display pieces and memorabilia means there is something for most collections. Condition and completeness will vary across the catalogue, so read each lot description closely and check photos before you commit.

Delivery is organised from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, so factor that into your plans if you are bidding from interstate. Bidding closes 7 October.

This is the sixth and seventh instalment of the Walter Jobson Collection, a significant holding being dispersed through Burns and Co, the Beresfield NSW outfit that specialises in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia. Splitting a collection across multiple timed online parts usually means the deeper, quirkier material surfaces later in the run, so parts six and seven are worth a look if you have been following the earlier sales.

Lots are delivered from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, and the auction closes 7 October 2026. Check the lot list for what is on offer in this round and confirm collection details with the auctioneer before bidding.

Burns and Co have built their name on classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, memorabilia and significant collections, and this Sydney feature auction puts a single vendor’s holdings up in one go. The lots are stored at Vineyard, near Windsor, with the auction called from the firm’s Bayswater base in Victoria.

Buying from one owner is the draw here. Collections assembled over years tend to be more consistent than mixed consignments, and the memorabilia side often throws up pieces you won’t see listed individually elsewhere.

Inspection details and the full catalogue are worth checking with Burns and Co before the 7 October close.

This is part five of the Walter Jobson Collection, a name that carries weight among Australian automotive collectors. Burns and Co, based in Beresfield NSW, handle classic and collectable cars, motorcycles and memorabilia, and they are running this instalment as a timed online auction closing 12 November 2026.

The lots span automotive collectables, so expect the usual mix that turns up in a collection of this size: memorabilia, parts and pieces tied to classic cars and motorcycles. Check the lot list carefully, condition and completeness vary across a collection sale, and part five means earlier parts have already moved on.

Delivery is from 4 Market Drive, Bayswater. Bid online before the timer runs out on 12 November.

Burns and Co specialise in classic and collectable cars, motorcycles, memorabilia and significant collections, with operations out of Beresfield NSW. This November auction brings that focus to a Bayswater, VIC sale, so expect a catalogue built around motoring rather than general household gear.

Details on individual lots are thin at this stage, but the auctioneer’s track record points to a mix of classics, muscle metal and two-wheeled stock, plus memorabilia for the shed wall. If you follow the classic scene, it’s worth a look once the full lot list lands.

Closing date is 21 September 2026. Plenty of time to do your homework before bidding opens up.

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.

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.

Philips Auctions in Malvern is putting up a broad collection spanning fine art, antique and 20th century furniture, jewellery and decorative arts. It is a classic mixed-category sale, which means buyers can chase a single statement piece or build out a room without committing to one collecting field.

The jewellery and decorative arts lots sit alongside the furniture offering, giving collectors a chance to compare quality across categories in one sitting. Fine art rounds out the sale for those looking to add something with a bit of history to the wall.

With a close date of 26 October 2026, there is time to inspect properly and do your homework on the pieces that matter to you. Check the full lot list for condition notes and dimensions before bidding.

Lloyds Auctions is running a multi-lot online sale with categories spanning vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods. The house and homewares section carries more than 12 lots, with seating the clear theme: seven three seater lounges and a two seater, each listed with an RRP running from $1,735 to $2,145. If you are refurnishing a lounge room, that is a lot of choice in one place.

Bedroom gear is worth a look too. There are two queen sized storage beds, one gas lift and one with front storage, both carrying an RRP of $568.75. A pallet lot bundling a rustic timber bench with black metal pieces rounds out the furniture, and a Wagner Body Science rollator walker sits among the general goods for anyone after mobility gear.

With categories this broad, it pays to read each lot listing closely before bidding. Closing date is 1 November.

This is a multi-lot online auction from Lloyds, closing 2 November 2026, and the spread is broad: vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods all feature across the catalogue. That range means there is something for most budgets, from small household pickups to bulk clothing buys.

The clothing lots stand out for volume. Three separate Lou Lou women’s bulk lots carry RRPs of roughly $5,625 each, and there are further assorted lots covering women’s, men’s, baby and kids clothing. Dog clothes appear across three lots, which suits anyone supplying pet resellers or market stalls.

For lifestyle buyers, the Power Bilt golf bag with assorted clubs is a straightforward single pick, while the mixed household lot bundles an office chair, camping gear and other general goods. With 12+ lots listed, check each listing for condition and contents before bidding.

This is a straight liquidation of gallery and homewares stock, with RRPs printed across the lot list that make the value gap obvious. The Parma coffee table carries a $2,549 RRP, the Kildare magazine rack sits at $1,099 and the C Vasto leaner mirror at $1,099, so the top end of the catalogue is where the real savings sit.

Smaller pieces round out the sale nicely: Rodenbek Lustre vases in smoke at $44.95 and $59.95, a Norwell candle holder at $72.95, a Neath shelving unit in black at $189.95 and a Misina line drawing framed art piece at $439. There is also a Feather Pad at a $700 RRP and an Ebobo set of two black baskets at $300.

Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction, and the wider catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment and general goods, so it pays to scan the full list rather than just the design pieces. The sale closes 5 November 2026.

This is a multi-lot online sale from Lloyds Auctions, covering home improvement, DIY and hardware alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods.

Also on the list are bulk lots of 39x26x27cm tool bags and a run of CHAO composite sinks, including the RV 4540KA and RV 4540 square black models, the RV 7648 oval caravan/RV sink and the RV 7646FA square. A pallet of concertina caravan folding doors and an under-mount basin round out the offerings.

With 12+ lots and a close date of 6 November 2026, it suits buyers after trade quantities of hand tools and hardware, or anyone fitting out a van or RV who wants sinks and folding doors in one hit.

This is a multi-lot online sale from Lloyds Auctions, covering general goods alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables, and plant and equipment listed in the broader catalogue. For the homewares side, the mix leans hard into lighting: decorative pendants, chandeliers, lampshades, and frosted glass shades across several bulk lots.

Bulk quantities are where the value sits. There is a 24-piece run of Francis 6" decorative lights, 12 decorative plaster finials, and a 60-piece lot of dome frosted glass lampshades with surface mounts, plus assorted shade and glass bundles. The queen gas lift storage bed carries an RRP of $481.25 and is the pick of the furniture on the list.

Buyers should note the bulk lots suit renovators, stylists, or anyone kitting out multiple rooms, and the boxed lampshades are listed as brand new. Check the full catalogue for condition and pickup details before bidding.

This is a solid spread of commercial catering equipment, the kind of gear that normally carries a hefty price tag new. The Winterhalter UF-XL pot washer is the headline lot for anyone setting up or upgrading a dish pit, while the Blue Seal gas range cooker and the double griddle cover the hot line.

Smaller items round out the sale: a WNS-G01 syrup dispensing machine, an electric warming pot, a Mercury four-burner gas barbecue and a Domain natural gas instantaneous water heater. Stainless steel benches in a couple of sizes, plus a two-piece sink bench, make up the fit-out basics.

Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction closing 10 November 2026, alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables and plant in the same catalogue. Check each listing for condition and dimensions before you bid.

Abbeys Auctions runs regular public sales out of Box Hill, and this one pulls together unclaimed goods, antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estate items into a single catalogue. It is the kind of mixed sale where household names and one-off pieces sit side by side, so there is plenty to sort through whether you are furnishing a place or topping up stock.

The deceased estate and antique lots are worth a close look for period furniture and collectables, while the retail stock lines suit anyone buying in volume. Curios round out the sale for those who like a punt on the odd piece.

Viewing and bidding are online only, opening 2 November. Check the catalogue early and inspect condition notes before you bid, since unclaimed goods are sold as they sit.

This is a regular public sale from a Box Hill auction house that runs ongoing clearance of antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estates. The clothing on offer sits within that steady flow of unclaimed goods, so expect a mixed bag of apparel and accessories rather than a single curated collection.

Bidding runs online from 23 October through to the 3 November close, giving buyers time to inspect the catalogue before committing. Worth a look if you want clothing stock at auction prices.

Abbeys Auctions runs regular public sales out of its Box Hill rooms, and this unclaimed goods catalogue is a broad one. Antiques and furniture sit alongside retail stock, curios and deceased estate pieces, so there is plenty to sort through whether you are chasing a project, a household upgrade or stock for resale.

Everything is listed online for viewing and bidding from 26 October, giving you time to check condition and work out what the lots are actually worth before the hammer falls on 4 November. With unclaimed goods, stock turns over and nothing carries a reserve story, so inspect the catalogue closely and bid on what stacks up.

This is a regular public sale from a Box Hill auction house, the kind of weekly clearing run that pulls together antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estate goods in one go. Because the stock comes from several sources, the catalogue tends to be varied rather than curated, which suits buyers hunting across categories.

Deceased estate lots often bring in older furniture and household pieces, while the retail stock component can mean boxed goods and surplus lines sitting alongside the antiques. Curios round out the sale for anyone after smaller decorative items.

Worth a look if you want to spread a bid across furniture, stock and oddments in a single session. Check the lot list for what’s actually on offer before the 6 November close.

This is a specialist coin and banknote sale, number 2768 in the auction house’s run, and it sits alongside the antiques, furniture, retail stock and deceased estate sales abbeysauctions holds regularly at its Box Hill rooms. Catalogues like this tend to pull together a broad spread of collectables, so the lot list is the place to start.

Bidding opens online from 28 October, giving you over a week to inspect the catalogue and work out which lots are worth chasing before the sale closes on 8 November. Deceased estate material often surfaces in these sales, which can mean fresh stock that hasn’t been picked over.

If you collect coins or banknotes, or you’re just starting out and want to build a reference set, get the catalogue open early and note the lot numbers you want.

This is a record collector’s auction with a grading standard attached. High-value records and small groups of three or less are visually graded using the Goldmine system, so you know what you’re bidding on before the hammer drops.

The spread suits both the serious collector chasing a specific pressing and the buyer happy to take a bulk group and sort through it later. Box Hill runs regular public sales of antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estates, so this record sale sits within a broader auction house operation.

Close date is 12 November 2026. Check the lot list for the specific titles and pressings that matter to you.

This is a regular public sale from a Box Hill auction house that runs antiques, furniture, retail stock, curios and deceased estate goods through its rooms. The mix suits collectors who like to dig through a varied catalogue rather than chase one headline item.

Deceased estate lots often bring the unexpected: older furniture, odd curios and box lots that reward a close read of the listings. Retail stock can also turn up, which is worth watching if you resell.

The sale closes 21 November 2026. Review the full catalogue and inspection details with abbeysauctions before bidding.

This is a single-owner collection with real depth. The early printed material leads the charge: an 1875 engraving, plus 1879 and 1881 editions of ‘The Footballer’ give a window into the game’s earliest years of organised competition. The run of ‘The Football Record’ is the backbone of the sale, with bound editions covering 1914 to 1919, several flagged as very rare, including the 1916 volume.

Beyond the books, there is administrative and club material worth a look. Australian Football Council minutes from August 1914, a 1908 photograph of the Beverley Football Club, and a South Australian National Football League 1877 to 1977 centenary jacket round out the lots. The mix of paper, photography, and apparel should pull interest from both football historians and collectors of early Australian sporting memorabilia.

The sale is timed online, closing 2 November 2026. Condition and provenance details sit with the auctioneer, so check the listings before bidding.

Leonard Joel’s South Yarra rooms are known for fine art and antiques, but this sale leans hard into luxury fashion. Twelve-plus lots cover a tight edit of big-name accessories: a Gucci mini handbag, a pair of Prada heels, a Prada Galleria bag and a vintage Versace top handle, with a Chanel Le Boy bag and Chanel heeled booties rounding out the apparel side.

Hermès shows up twice, with a Clic H bracelet and a vintage Dolly shoulder bag, while Bvlgari’s Serpenti handbag and the Louis Vuitton Pochette Sévigne and 18ct gold Lockit pendant necklace are the picks for anyone chasing a statement piece or a solid gold buy.

The sale closes Monday 9 November. Condition reports and viewing details sit with the auctioneer, so check those before bidding on leather goods and jewellery where wear and authenticity matter.

This is a tightly curated specialist sale, and the size range is the story. There are room-filling pieces like the 455 by 308 cm silk and wool Nainen and a 396 by 297 cm hand-spun woollen abstract, alongside runners built for hallways and galley spaces, including a 600 by 81 cm 19th century Sultanabad design and a 509 by 78 cm Nainen design runner.

Collectors should note the signed Royal Kashan, a marker of workshop provenance, and the pure silk Qum at 298 by 200 cm, which sits in a different tier to the woollen pieces. The finely hand-knotted Tabriz at 165 by 92 cm is the smallest lot on the list and a sensible entry point for anyone testing the water.

Contemporary tastes are covered too, with a Loribaft Gabbeh in silk and wool, a geometric Marrakesh, and a Kashmar featuring a Persepolis archaeology design. Leonard Joel runs these specialist sales regularly from South Yarra, so condition reports are worth requesting early on the larger carpets.

This is a proper old-school decorative arts sale, the kind Leonard Joel has built its South Yarra reputation on. The furniture runs from a provincial George III elm set of bed steps and a Regency creamware urn through to a French mahogany and glazed bibliotheque in the Restauration manner, so there is period weight across several centuries and two countries.

The silver is where the depth sits. A Victorian sterling tea service by William Hunter & Son (London, 1873), a salver by Daniel & Charles Houle (1858) and a crystal and silver cruet by Samuel Hayne & Dudley Carter (1857) all carry solid hallmarks, while a King’s Pattern flatware service by Viner’s of Sheffield covers the practical end. The Garrard Queen’s Beasts candlesticks, cased and dated 1977, will pull their own crowd.

The bronzes bookend the sale nicely: an antique French figure group of Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius escaping Troy from the second half of the 19th century, and the Steûer Le travail with its mottled brown patina. Condition reports are worth requesting on the larger furniture pieces before bidding.

Leonard Joel in South Yarra is running this specialist timed online sale, and it’s a solid pick for anyone chasing fine jewellery without the showroom markup. The catalogue leans heavily on precious stones and precious metals, with standout lots including a diamond solitaire ring and a selection of gold bangles. Watch collectors will want to check the vintage Omega and Longines pieces, plus a few modern Swiss automatics.

The auction also dips into collectable art and antique trinkets, so it’s not strictly a jewellery play. A small run of silverware and cameo brooches adds variety. Bidding closes on 10 December 2026, so set a reminder and inspect the condition reports online before you bid.

This one comes from a Sydney connoisseur, and the depth shows. The collection leans on automotive literature, the sort of factory publications, workshop manuals and marque histories that rarely surface together, alongside fine models built to a standard collectors chase for years.

Donington Auctions runs the sale out of Melbourne VIC, and the catalogue sits across collectables and classic-car categories. Literature lots reward the buyer who reads the descriptions properly, since condition and edition matter as much as the title.

Worth a close look if you have been chasing reference material for a restoration or want display pieces with genuine provenance behind them.

This one comes from a working automotive garage, and the catalogue reflects it. Donington Auctions, a Melbourne operation that deals in classic, collector and performance cars, is putting up the contents of a Richmond warehouse alongside the garage equipment that kept it running.

The spread covers three angles: industrial equipment for the workshop, classic cars for the shed, and collectables for the display cabinet. It suits anyone fitting out a garage or chasing a project, not just the finished-car crowd.

Close date is 23 November 2026. Check the lot list for the specific makes and models before you bid.

Donington Auctions runs classic, collector and performance car sales out of Melbourne, with a reputation for European marques, muscle cars and motorcycles. This one widens the net to maritime and angling gear, which means the catalogue should carry the odd mix you only get when a shed, a garage and a boat get cleared in one go.

Consignments are open now, so what lands in the catalogue is still being decided. If you have maritime or fishing gear sitting unused, this is the moment to have a chat with the auctioneer.

Close date is 18 January 2027. Plenty of time to watch the listings build.

Christian McCann Auctions has put together a two-day sale in Abbotsford, and day one leans into antique furniture, Australian art and Asian antiques. The Richmond crowd knows this auctioneer well, and the catalogue reflects it.

Expect a spread of timber furniture, framed Australian works and Asian decorative pieces, the sort of stock that rewards a close look at condition and provenance before you bid. Check the lot list for the standout pieces and inspect where you can.

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 a short-notice liquidation of retail hardware, and the spread is broad. The stock covers the trades and the shed: builders tools, fixings, painting and caulking supplies, plus paint and stain stock with accessories. Consumables are well represented too, with sanding media, saw blades and grinding stock among the lots.

Lots are being sold as retail lots, so buyers can target the lines they actually use rather than taking on a whole pallet. Whether you are restocking a trade setup or topping up a workshop, the range of categories means there is something worth pricing on. The close date is still to be confirmed, so check the listing for timing before you commit.

This is a working fabrication shop being cleared, and the centrepiece is the Promecam 100 tonne x 3.2m press brake. It comes with a range of press brake tooling, which matters as much as the machine itself, since tooling is where the real cost sits when you are setting up or expanding.

Beyond the press brake, there is a Caterpillar 25 2.5 tonne forklift for moving stock and finished work, two portable generators, a Parkansan horizontal bandsaw and a Hafco pipe and tube notcher-linisher. The notes also reference an OMES machine, so check the full lot list for details.

Everything is listed from Melbourne, VIC. Close date is still to be confirmed, so watch the listing for timing and inspection details before you commit.

This is a full precision toolroom spread, the kind of gear that rarely comes together in one sale. The lathe section alone covers three solid names: a Colchester Mascot 1600, a Mazak 2650 and a Macson 2400, giving buyers options across sizes and configurations rather than a single machine to fight over.

The Hartford milling machine and the horizontal bandsaw with feeds round out the metalworking side, so a small shop or serious hobbyist could kit out a whole floor from one catalogue.

The metrology and tooling lots are where the value tends to hide. An extensive range of measuring equipment and tooling is included, and for anyone building out a toolroom, those lots often add up to more than the machines themselves. Inspection is worth the trip before bidding.

This auction brings together stock from the tractor trade itself: retailers, repairers and wreckers clearing out. That means the mix leans practical, parts, project machines and workshop gear rather than polished showroom units.

Brand coverage is broad. John Deere, Leyland, International, David Brown, Fordson, Fiat and Massey all appear in the notes, so there is something for most marques and most budgets.

Buyers should check the lot list closely for condition and completeness, since wrecker stock varies widely from unit to unit. Close date is still to be confirmed.
