Turning Surplus into Success, the WA Way
If you’re a business owner in Western Australia sitting on unused machinery, retiring fleet vehicles, or clearing out a warehouse full of surplus stock — you’re sitting on money, not junk. At Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers, we’ve been helping local businesses unlock the value in their assets since 1983, offering professional auctioneering services, certified appraisals, and tailored solutions across WA.
In this guide, we’ll share everything you need to know about selling business assets at auction — how it works, why it’s effective, when to choose auction over other options, and what you can expect every step of the way.
When it comes to asset sales, auctions offer something you won’t find elsewhere — speed, simplicity, and solid returns.
Instead of months of drawn-out negotiations, auctions create urgency and action. Once listed, most assets sell within weeks, and the deal is done with a bang (literally — the hammer falls). The whole process is public, fair, and driven by live market demand.
For Western Australian businesses that need quick access to cash or want to free up floor space, this is a game-changer.
Here’s why auctions deliver:
Ross’s has conducted more auctions in more categories across WA than anyone else, and it’s because the formula works: fair, fast, and financially smart.
Before you put anything under the hammer, you need to know what it’s worth — and we don’t mean a ballpark guess.
A professional valuation is your roadmap to a successful auction. It tells you:
At Ross’s, our team includes Certified Practising Valuers accredited by the Auctioneers & Valuers Association and trained to international standards. We consider everything: condition, make, model, use history, and current demand.
That means you get more than a number — you get a plan.
Bonus tip: Buyers also trust valuations. If your item has been appraised by a certified professional, they’re more likely to bid confidently and pay what it’s worth.
Still wondering if a valuation is worth it? Consider this:
Whether you’re auctioning a single bulldozer or liquidating an entire branch, a valuation helps guide your decisions — and ensures your asset doesn’t go for less than it should.
Let’s face it — heavy equipment isn’t something you sell on Facebook Marketplace. And in WA, with our strong mining and construction sectors, businesses often need to offload large equipment quickly and properly.
That’s our bread and butter.
Ross’s Auctioneers & Valuers specialises in industrial equipment auctions across Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Perth, and beyond. We regularly sell:
These auctions attract serious buyers, including civil contractors, miners, hiring firms, and international bidders.
What we provide:
With the right strategy, we can turn that parked-up excavator or mothballed plant into solid capital for your next venture.
Every business with wheels eventually has vehicles to sell — from council fleets to contractor utes to company sedans.
Ross’s makes that process painless.
We run dedicated fleet auctions that move vehicles quickly and at great market value. Our listings typically include:
We take care of:
Because we’ve built up a network of regular fleet buyers — including used car dealers and private bidders across WA — your vehicles get instant exposure to qualified, competitive buyers.
Whether it’s one vehicle or 50, we can handle the lot.
Every business collects “stuff” — tools, spare parts, display stock, office fit-outs, you name it. Before you bin it or pay for storage, consider auctioning it.
Ross’s can coordinate complete warehouse clearances, from a single storeroom to an entire yard of assets.
We’ll:
Our platform allows bidders from across WA to jump in. Whether it’s a forklift, a pallet of bolts, or a batch of ex-display fridges, we’ll find the right sale strategy.
No item is too small. No load is too mixed. No hassle for you.
When it’s time to clear out, what’s the best move?
Often, the best option is a mix. At Ross’s, we help you sort it out. We’ve even coordinated donations and scrap removals alongside auctioning the valuable items.
