Scammells are the leading Auction for Estates, Single Vendor Collections, Collectables and Works of Art.
Like millions of other Australians during this time my staff and our business faced many hardships, inspite of this we made the ethical decision to close our doors and follow our Premiers directive as intended, and now we are so excited to re-open.
For your Safety and Ours
Scammells will be practising safe physical distancing and sanitation techniques to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID and Flu. We have hand sanitiser stations located around the auction room, and will regularly clean down “high touch” areas with hospital grade disinfectant.
Auctions
Our very popular Monday Estate Auctions will be held online only using the Scammells App (from you smart phone and ipad) or from your computer. Bid live online or leave bids in advance.
Inspection
We open for inspection on Friday at 2pm – 5pm and Saturday 9am – 12.30pm, and we ask you strictly adhere to physical distancing. In our Gallery, we will allow 10 people at anyone time, and ask for your patience and understanding.
Buyers
Online Only
Buyers will need to register for our online bidding system. The Scammells App is available from the Apple/Google Stores or bid on your computer in browser without the need to download any software.
Absentee Bids
Our regular bidders who are unable to bid online can leave absentee bids with our office. Buyers will need to be known to us and have an established buying history.
Payment
Invoices are to be paid by Tuesday 7pm (without any exceptions).
For now we only accept credit card over the phone or payment by direct debit.
Buyers will need to bring in a copy of their paid receipt on collection (printed or digital).
Collection
All auction purchases are to be removed by Tuesday 7pm and we will not be open after this for any collection.

Intra/Interstate buyers (+200km), we will hold your items for a maximum of two weeks before they are shipped (at your expense) to paid storage.
Vendors
Appraisal First
For now we will not accept items sight unseen. Please email images to our appraisal team online.
Delivery
All deliveries will utilise our new “drop and go” service, which best protects you and our staff from any possible transmission. Simply turn up, drop your items in a designated area, receive a Vendor number for your consignment and you are free to go and enjoy the rest of your day.
