About Woodlands Auctions

Established in 1987

Woodlands Auctions was founded by proprietor Mark Stone, who has been running the business as a family operation with friendly, helpful service for nearly 40 years. Each month, we host auctions specialising in antiques, decorative arts, and collectables — including fine furniture, jewellery (both antique and modern), clocks, lighting, militaria, ceramics, artworks, and more. Our auctions regularly attract a wide range of items from local vendors and estates, offering something for both collectors and trade buyers. We also provide professional valuation services for probate, insurance, or auction purposes.

Buying at Auction

Whether you're a seasoned buyer or just starting out, you'll find a broad and varied selection at Woodlands Auctions. Many customers purchase items for their home or personal collection, while others buy at trade prices for resale. With our broad vendor base and curated catalogues, there’s always a chance to find something unique or rare.We recommend that if you are buying online then use our site with 22% buyer's premium, rather than using the more expensive invaluable site of 25% buyer's premium plus flat rate premium of US$10 for items up to $300

We offer condition reports and additional photographs on request. Absentee bidding is available through us direct — simply fill in the absentee form with your bids or by phoning us. We will accept phone bids on the day but for higher value items generally over $300. We can give you a list of carriers for larger item deliveries as well as pack and send by either postal or courier services for smaller purchases.

After the Sale

Winning bidders can collect their items at our premises up to a week after the sale. We accept payment via online payment (3.4% surcharge), cash, EFTPOS, bank transfer, cheque, or credit card (1.54% credit card surcharge).

Selling Through Us

If you're looking to sell, we offer competitive commission rates and expert guidance throughout the process. Our team can help you appraise your items and recommend reserve prices if needed. With nearly 40 years of experience, we know how to present your items effectively to reach the right buyers, both online and in the room.
