Customer Testimonials
“It allows me to spread my workload across the whole year, rather than concentrating it running a stand-alone sale 3 or 4 times a year. I find the fortnightly sale very convenient for listing machinery for sale. I am able to offer items whenever the vendor has them ready to sell- there’s no waiting until we have a stand-alone sale in 2 or 3 months time. It gives us more flexibility to offer items on a seasonal basis eg. harvesting equipment prior to harvest."
Brendan Mansbridge
KMWL
"We have used AuctionsPlus for all our online clearing sales over the past 10 years. Initially doing them in conjunction with a physical sale and then when Covid came along, we moved to stand alone online clearing sales. We found the system to be very user friendly for both us as agents and buyers as well. The online auction allows us to conduct a sale over several sites and multiple vendors. The results speak for themselves with all our vendors being satisfied with the results achieved. AuctionsPlus extensive data base and weekly presence in the machinery market makes it a go to place for many different types of buyers including, wholesalers, farmers, exporters and collectors across the country."
Andrew Kirtley
EASTERN RURAL
"We have entries in most fortnightly auctions. It allows vendors with a small number of items timely access to auctions rather than waiting for a standalone multi-vendor sale within our agency. Clearance rates are comparable to our standalone sales."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What can I sell in a machinery auction?
From agricultural machinery, second-hand cars, motorbikes, earth-moving equipment, spare parts, boats and even planes! There is no limit to what can be sold in an AuctionsPlus multi-vendor or standalone auction.
-
Do I need an agent to sell on AuctionsPlus?
Yes. All items sold must be listed through a licensed agent. The agent will handle pre-auction inquiries, discuss your reserve prices, manage the delivery and facilitate payment for the items.
If you do not have a nominated agent, you can use the AuctionsPlus agent search found here.
-
How do I book a machinery sale on AuctionsPlus?
To book a machinery sale on AuctionsPlus, complete the machinery sale booking form on the AuctionsPlus website or call the machinery sales team. A team member will help you choose the right sale type and list your items through a licensed agent.
-
Does AuctionsPlus sell machinery across all of Australia?
Yes. AuctionsPlus is a national online marketplace, so machinery listed for sale is exposed to buyers across every state and territory in Australia rather than just a local saleyard audience.
-
How much does it cost to sell machinery on AuctionsPlus?
The cost depends on the sale type. AuctionsPlus multi-vendor sales are commission-based with no upfront cost - you pay only when an item sells. Standalone interfaced clearing sales are charged at 1.5% on the gross value of items offered, and standalone online sale packages are available for a fixed fee.
-
Do I pay anything upfront to sell machinery on AuctionsPlus?
For the AuctionsPlus weekly multi-vendor machinery sale, there is no upfront cost - you pay only when your item sells. Standalone sale packages are charged as a fixed fee, which your agent can confirm when you book.
-
What types of machinery sales does AuctionsPlus offer?
AuctionsPlus offers three main ways to sell machinery: the weekly multi-vendor sale (shared with other sellers, pay when it sells), a standard online standalone sale (your own auction on the bidding platform), and a standard interfaced clearing sale (an on-site clearing sale streamed online with audio for remote bidders).
-
What's the difference between a multi-vendor sale and a standalone clearing sale on AuctionsPlus?
An AuctionsPlus multi-vendor sale groups items from many sellers into one regular auction, making it ideal for selling a small number of items without waiting. A standalone clearing sale is your own dedicated auction, suited to larger dispersals, and can be run fully online or interfaced with an on-site sale.
-
What is an interfaced clearing sale on AuctionsPlus?
An AuctionsPlus interfaced clearing sale is an on-site clearing sale that is streamed online with live audio, so buyers can bid in person or remotely at the same time. AuctionsPlus can optionally provide staff on site to help run the sale and manage online bidding.
-
When do I get my results after a machinery sale on AuctionsPlus?
Sale results and bidder details are available immediately after an AuctionsPlus machinery sale, so you know your outcomes without waiting.
-
When and how do I get paid after selling machinery on AuctionsPlus?
