A 500W circular saw sits a few lots from a gilt Budai in one sale; crate after crate of soul, reggae and house twelve-inches fills the other. Two online-only auctions close on Sunday 5 July 2026 — a Lancashire house clearance and a Sussex record-digger’s haul — and both reward bidders who enjoy sifting. Here’s what’s worth your attention in each.
What’s in the Clear This Auctions house clearance sale in Chorley?
Clear This Auctions runs the kind of sale that turns up genuinely useful kit at clear-out prices — the usual mix of local house-clearance items, no airs about it. It suits practical buyers, first-time bidders and anyone kitting out a workshop or a rental.
The lots run from the everyday to the oddly charming. There’s an Apple iMac 21.5-inch desktop running ChromeOS Flex — a tidy second machine for browsing — alongside a Roberts Sound 38 DAB/DAB+/FM clock radio and CD player, complete with its manual, the sort of dependable bedside set that holds its value. Tool buyers are well served: a Workzone 500W multipurpose circular saw, a wooden workshop chest with six drawers of assorted hardware, and several toolboxes — Big Jim and Stanley — packed with vintage hand tools and plumbing fittings, plus a mixed lot of Bahco and Gardenline kit.
For decorators and the curious, look to the quirkier end: a gilt-finished concrete figure of Budai, a Sandicast Sandra Brue yellow Labrador puppy sculpture, a modernist stylised sculpture of two dogs, and a vintage nautical ship’s-wheel silhouette backlight table lamp for a coastal-themed room. There’s a framed monochromatic print of L’accident at Gare Montparnasse, Paris, 1895 — that famous shot of a locomotive hanging out of the station facade — and, fittingly, a boxed set of toucan-themed novelty skittles and the Bargain Hunt board game.
When and where: online only, closing Sunday 5 July 2026 from 2:00 pm (BST), lots located at Unit 21a North Street, Chorley, Lancashire, PR7 1QD. How to bid: register on the live Bidspirit catalogue and place live or absentee bids in advance. Browse the full Clear This Ltd house clearance listing, or see more sales from Clear This Auctions.
What’s in the Rosan Reeves Auctions vinyl sale at Hailsham?
If you collect records, clear your Sunday evening. Rosan Reeves Auctions has over 160 lots at Hailsham, and vinyl is the backbone — sold in cartons, exactly how serious diggers like to buy. It’s aimed at DJs, soul and reggae collectors, dealers and anyone who’d rather take a punt on a full crate than pay singles prices.
The genre spread is broad and deep. Expect cartons of hip-hop, R&B, house, techno and drum and bass twelve-inch singles and LPs, including promotional and test pressings — always worth a closer look, since white labels and promos are where the scarcer cuts hide. There’s soul, funk and R&B across multiple cartons, reggae, soca and calypso, and a carton of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson LPs bundled with twelve-inch dance singles and DJ promos. The 1980s–2000s dance material runs to several lots, so a buyer chasing a specific era can build a run cheaply.
Seven-inch hunters get plenty too: a collection of roughly 100–150 singles from the 1960s–1990s, a further 100-plus seven-inch lot of pop, rock and reggae, and a batch featuring The Who, Michael Jackson and Madonna. A maker’s streak runs through the sale as well — JewelleryMaker craft and jewellery wire spools in Really Useful boxes, plus loose semi-precious gemstone beads and stones in Sysmax storage units — ready-made starting stock for handmade jewellery, alongside general household goods and electronics.
When and where: online only, closing Sunday 5 July 2026 from 6:00 pm (BST), lots located at Arlington Road West, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 3RE. How to bid: register on the live Bidspirit catalogue for live or absentee bids. View the full Hailsham vinyl auction listing, or follow Rosan Reeves Auctions for their next sales.
