Timed Online Auctions see competitive bidding to the end.

By What's News

This week has seen the closing of two of our Timed Online Auctions, both of which have seen some very competitive bidding right to the close.

Monday night at 7pm saw the conclusion of our Farm Found Bikes and Parts Timed Online Auction. This auction featured a great selection of collectable motorcycles including a scarce Suzuki Rotary, Air cooled Kawasaki and early Honda from a longtime country NSW collector, a good selection of parts and project bikes to suit Matchless, BSA, AJS, SCOTT, AMC, BURMAN, TRIUMPH, NORTON, ALBION and other bits and bobs. Final results from the auction can be viewed here.

Hot on the heels of that auction was the Rusty, Dusty & Collectable Timed Online Auction held at 6pm Wednesday 13th March 2024. With around 300 lots, this auction offered lots of choice, lots of variety and of course lots of opportunity. Offering popular petrol pumps, dingo traps, rabbit traps, pedal cars and trikes, tins and bottles, rustic furniture, railway and much, much more. The catalogue provided bidders with the opportunity to get their hands on all the popular brand names including Golden Fleece, Shell, Neptune, Castrol, Texaco and lots of others. Final results from the auction can be viewed here.

You can keep up to date with all our upcoming auctions by regularly checking out our current auctions page or by following us on Facebook.

Another happy Burns & Co Vendor

By What's News
The whole company and the selling process was very professional, the process was very smooth, and nothing was a problem. When I called, I could easily get to speak to the same person. Where can you find that these days? I deal with a lot of different types of companies, and you can’t.
The February Burns & Co Classic and Collectable Car auction saw some very competitive bidding throughout the day, including on lot 65, the stunning red 1970 XW GT-HO Phase 2 Tribute Utility.
After many bids back and forth the hammer fell on this impressive Ute for the price of $123,088 (including buyer’s premium) leading to not only I am sure a happy new purchaser, but also a happy seller. We spoke to the vendor post the auction to get his thoughts on the sale, the process from start to finish and why they chose Burns and Co, and this is what he said.
“I found out about Burns & Co by word of mouth from some friends who had sold through them previously. I was very happy with the setup and organisation in the lead up, and was updated regularly during which was appreciated, and that led to a great result.

I think that the online bidding got the ball rolling as far as the bidding goes and it got people interested in bidding at the auction.

I will definitely be recommending Burns and Co to others. I have a couple of guys I know who are looking to sell and I will be recommending them to call Burns & Co. One of the biggest advantages of selling with Burns & Co was not needing to deal with all the Riff Raff that you can get selling things privately.

It’s not just the Burns & Co Vendors who are happy.

The Buyers are too!

A flight to Newcastle, an auction and a new Sandman. Hear about the journey of one of the buyers from the February Classic Car auction.

I had a great and pleasant experience, I would absolutely purchase through Burns and Co again or recommend you to others.”
The February Burns & Co Classic and Collectable Car auction saw some very competitive bidding throughout the day, including on lot 54, an often sought after HZ Sandman Panel Van situated in our Newcastle / Central Coast facility.
In among the crowd of floor bidders at our Bayswater showroom was a bidder by the name of Troy who has been seeking a Sandman for a while and was very keen to get his hands on this particular Sandman. Having flown up to Newcastle to view the car, and having never bought a car at auction, it’s fair to say he was a little bit nervous.
Once the lot came up though Troy jumped into the bidding headfirst and came out as the successful bidder and the proud new owner of a Sandman. We spoke to Troy post the auction to get his thoughts on the sale, the process from start to finish and his thoughts on purchasing with Burns and Co, and this is what he said.

“I first found out about Burns & Co from the Internet and on Facebook. I have been looking to buy a Sandman for a while and so have been keeping an eye out and spotted this one on Facebook.I have never bid at Auction before, so I was very nervous and didn’t take it all in, but I found it awesome. It was like going to a car show, just watching on was entertaining.

Once I had seen the auction on Facebook I went to the website and viewed the images and videos and went through all of the information which was great. But the best thing for me was the service I got from Michael when I went to view the car. All the Burns & Co staff were really good. They were really friendly and welcoming, and they made everything easy and smooth. It was all done for you. But I was really impressed with Michael (Saide) when I flew to Newcastle to view the car. He picked me up from the airport and answered all my questions, and even gave me advice on things to do in Newcastle while I waited for my flight home.

I had a great and pleasant experience, I would absolutely purchase through Burns and Co again or recommend you to others.”

ABC takes a look at the Echuca National Holden Motor Museum Auction

By What's News

An interesting read on the Burns & Co Echuca National Holden Motor Museum Auction and the wider classic & collectable car market.

The ABC recently took a deeper dive into the record-breaking Echuca National Holden Motor Museum Auction in an online article. Looking at the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the auction through to delving into some of the auction results, as well as comparative results from other sales the article takes a look at the thirst for Classic & Collectable cars in the Australian market.

 

“Holden muscle cars sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars as National Motor Museum in Echuca closes. In 1972 you could have driven a Holden Monaro GTS out of a new car dealership for just under $7,500.

Just over half a century later, that same Monaro has changed hands for $346,185 at auction.”

Circa 1890 Huddart, Parker and Co Enamel Sign arrives at Burns & Co

By What's News
Another quality entry has just come in the door here at Burns & Co for our upcoming NEXT LEVEL COLLECTORS AUCTION

This stunning circa 1890 HUDDART, PARKER & Co Enamel Sign featuring the steamer “SS BURRUMBEET” a steel steamer built by Swan & Hunter of Wallsend, England in 1885 for the inter-colonial trade.

The sign advised intending passengers that steamers left the HUDDART-PARKER wharf at the bottom of Margaret St, Sydney and travelled every Tuesday and Saturday for Melbourne and Geelong.

These signs are now recognised as one of our countries most desirable, recognisable and valuable given its age, its subject matter, its detail and in this case its condition.

This is an Investment quality sign.
Please keep an eye on our website and our social media channels for further details of when it will be sold.
