The AuctionsPlus Multi-Vendor Machinery Auction is a fortnightly auction for all things machinery.
⚠️ IMPORTANT AUCTIONS TIMELINE UPDATE ⚠️
Effective from Thursday, 8th February 2024, the AuctionsPlus Multi-Vendor Machinery Auction will now kick off on Thursdays at 9am and concludes on Monday at 4pm.
In response to valuable feedback from many agents seeking relief from the pressure of Fridays, the busiest sale day for operations, we've made this strategic adjustment. This modification not only improves agent self-service with listings but also provides better access to post-sale negotiations.
Please note that this means no more edits can be made from Wednesdays at 12pm.
After this point, if you aren’t happy with the details we can either add a lot message or withdraw the lot and list it in the following week's sale.
- Registered Livestock agent
- Registered Real Estate agent

MAKING EDITS TO THE CATALOGUE

Once your changes have been applied, you will then need to press ‘save’ followed by ‘publish’. It is a good process to then check that the edit has been saved properly.
If you do not publish your lot, it will not be seen in the catalogue and may not be included in the sale when it is catalogued.
If you would like to withdraw your lot prior to lot numbers being assigned, you can press 'unpublish' in the listings portal. To unpublish after this, you will need to contact AuctionsPlus.
Please Note: you will not receive a catalogue lot number until the sale is built the Wednesday before the sale commences.
There will be no more edits made from Wednesday 12pm – please ensure you are happy with your listings by this time. After this point, if you aren’t happy with the details we can either add a lot message or withdraw the lot and list it in the following week's sale.
