Online Furniture Auctions

What's in our online furniture auctions

Our online furniture auctions feature thousands of new and boxed lots every week, drawn from retail clearance, customer returns, ex-display stock, end-of-line and surplus inventory. Most of our lots are brand-new boxed flatpack items from major UK retailers, making transport and self-assembly simple.

Sofa auctions

Browse weekly sofa auctions featuring 2-seater, 3-seater, modular, and corner sofas, as well as armchairs, hanging egg chairs, and footstools. Stock regularly includes boxed flatpack furniture from popular brands like Dusk (including the Soho, Malibu, and Hampshire ranges), Keter, and Safavieh.

Bed and mattress auctions

Furnish any bedroom for less with our selection of ottoman storage beds, stylish upholstered bed frames, and headboards in single, double, king, and super king sizes.

Our mattress auctions include pocket-sprung, orthopaedic, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses, boxed and rolled for easy transport and collection.

Dining room furniture auctions

Bid on extendable dining tables, space-saving kitchen sets, dining chair sets (typically sold in sets of 4 or 6), bar stools, and wooden or high-gloss sideboards. Stock spans oak, glass, industrial metal, velvet, and leather options from brands like Dusk, Renzo, Vida Designs, and more.

Look out for inflatable hot tubs and spas (including CleverSpa models), metal and resin garden sheds, pop-up gazebos, retractable canopies, and outdoor garden storage boxes.

Online furniture auction delivery options

Every lot listing includes clear descriptions, photos, condition details, and fulfilment instructions before you place a bid.

Collection or UK Postal Delivery:

• Collection only: Most sofas, beds, mattresses, dining sets, and large appliance lots are marked collection only from our saleroom due to their bulky, boxed, or palletised nature.
• UK postal delivery: Smaller items like rugs, lighting, cookshop accessories, wall art, and small kitchen appliances are marked Postal and shipped nationwide across the UK.
• Third-party couriers: Many buyers choose to arrange their own courier collection for larger furniture items using services like Shiply, AnyVan, or local man-and-van operators.

Buyer's premium and VAT apply on top of the hammer price. Current rates are shown on every lot page.
