Four online salerooms all close on the same morning: Friday 28 August 2026. From a last-chance clearout of silver and gold in West Yorkshire to a general and pre-loved sale on the Sussex quayside, every one is open for bids right now. If you’ve been sitting on a maximum bid all week, this is the day to commit. Here’s what’s under the hammer and how to get involved.
What’s in the Luxoris Auctions last-chance timed sale?
Luxoris Auctions opens the day early with a Last Chance Timed Sale, gathering the unsold lots from recent auctions into one online-only event — silver, gold, costume jewellery and watches among them. Timed sales reward patience: because everything is carried over from earlier catalogues, the competition has often thinned out, and a piece that fell short of its reserve first time round can sometimes be secured at a friendlier level. A sensible way in for newer bidders who want gold or silver without the pressure of a live room.
The full run of lots sits on the live Luxoris catalogue — worth a scroll for the costume jewellery, where good period paste and signed pieces tend to hide among the general lots.
- Format: Online only — bid at your own pace before the sale closes
- When: Friday 28 August 2026, from 7:00 am (BST)
- Where: Valley Mills, Drighlington, BD11 1NQ
- How to bid: Register on EasyLive Auction, then leave a bid or watch the timer

What can collectors expect from Intercollector Ltd’s Saleroom sale?
Intercollector Ltd makes its debut with The Saleroom — Collectors Edition #246, billed as the house’s inaugural sale and pitched squarely at the general collector. The invitation is right there in the name: “Be an Intercollector.” A first outing is a good moment to get in early on a house — you’re bidding before a following builds and prices firm up. Expect the wide-ranging mix that defines a proper collectors’ sale, the sort where you go in for one lot and leave watching three.
Judge the individual lots from the live Intercollector catalogue and set your absentee bids once you’ve had a proper look. It’s online only, so there’s no viewing day to plan around — read the condition reports closely and ask the house if anything’s unclear.
- Format: Online only
- When: Friday 28 August 2026, from 9:00 am (BST)
- How to bid: Register on The-Saleroom, then bid live or leave a commission bid
You’ll find the full Collectors Edition #246 listing and more from Intercollector Ltd on Auction Eagle.
When and where is the Rye Auction Galleries pre-loved sale?
Down on the water at Rock Channel Quay, Rye Auction Galleries holds its General, Collectable & Pre-Loved Sale — the one to watch if you like the theatre of a real room. Running both online and in person, it’s the honest, everything-must-find-a-home sort of sale where trade dealers, interior designers and first-time bidders rub shoulders. General and pre-loved catalogues are where the value lives: furniture, decorative pieces and household collectables that furnish a home for a fraction of retail, with the occasional sleeper that rewards a sharp eye.
The individual lots aren’t all listed yet, so keep the Rye live catalogue bookmarked and check back as it fills. Being in East Sussex, it’s an easy one to attend in person if you’d rather inspect before you commit — always the safer route with second-hand furniture.
- Format: Online & in person
- When: Friday 28 August 2026, from 9:30 am (BST)
- Where: Unit 2 & 3, Rock Channel Quay, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7DL
- How to bid: Register on EasyLive Auction, leave a commission bid, or attend in the room

What’s in the Atkins Auctions jewellery and silver sale?
Rounding out the day in Devon, Atkins Auctions Ltd at Gamberlake offers the broadest spread of the four: Jewellery, Silver, Art, Collectables and Furniture, online and in the room. This is the classic country-saleroom mix, and arguably the best of today’s four for anyone hunting one good thing across several disciplines — a piece of jewellery to wear, a bit of silver for the table, a picture for a wall. West Country sales have a well-earned reputation for turning up decent provenance at sensible money.
With the catalogue still being populated, the Atkins live catalogue is the place to track lots as they’re added. If you can make the trip, viewing the jewellery and silver in person is worth it — hallmarks and stones tell you more in the hand than any photograph.
- Format: Online & in person
- When: Friday 28 August 2026, from 9:30 am (BST)
- Where: Gamberlake, Devon
- How to bid: Register on EasyLive Auction, leave a commission bid, or attend in the room
