A taxidermy crocodile-foot back scratcher, a Yamaha amplifier, a private-jet beauty box of 100-odd items: this week’s four online sales are nothing if not varied. Spread across 28–29 June 2026, they run from a debut clearance auction where every lot opens at £2 to a single-category diecast sale in Kent. None demands a grand budget, and all four reward a careful scroll. Here’s what’s worth your attention.
What’s in the Absolute Clearance Auctions debut sale?
It’s always worth turning up for a house’s first sale — vendors are keen, estimates are cautious, and the room is quiet. Absolute Clearance Auctions opens its account with a mixed general sale of new and used goods, everything starting from £2. That low bar makes it a sensible place for a first-time bidder to learn the ropes without risking much.
The spread is broad and gloriously random. There’s a sealed 70cl bottle of Teacher’s Highland Cream blended Scotch, a brand-new Jaques of London double-six dominoes set in its slide-lid box (Jaques effectively invented the modern parlour game), and a pristine Stanley extra-large vacuum flask of the sort that never comes cheap retail. Hi-fi buyers should note the pair of vintage Wharfedale speakers and the Yamaha AX-396 natural-sound stereo amplifier — proper separates that still earn their place in a listening room — plus an Octopus soprano ukulele in sky blue with gig bag and tuner. Football collectors get a pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly 9 boots in UK 11 and two Manchester United Busby Babes 50th-anniversary commemorative pieces.
Standout lots to watch:
- Max Barrington taxidermy crocodile-foot back scratcher — pure character, and one of a kind
- Confused.com ‘Brian the Robot’ talking promotional figure in its original box
- Andie Worner, Suicide Squad group portrait, giclée print on canvas
- Ingersoll Triumph open-face pocket stopwatch for the horology-minded
- Framed 1974 Medicine Head & Highway concert poster, North East London Poly S.U.
The sale is online only on Sunday 28 June 2026 at 11:00am (BST), run from 1–2 Kettering Parkway, Kettering NN15 6XR, Northamptonshire. Browse the full lineup on the Absolute Clearance debut auction listing, or follow the house via its Absolute Clearance Auctions page.
What’s in the Marsh Barton Auctions sale in Exeter?
An hour later, Marsh Barton auctions in Exeter opens a sale that reads like a well-stocked Devon house clearance — and that’s a compliment. There’s real depth for motoring-art collectors and for anyone furnishing a summer garden.
The automotive thread is strongest. Look for the work attributed to Keith Woodcock (British, b. 1944), ‘1974 Group 44 E-Type’, alongside a British School ‘1950 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe’, a framed print of a 1921 Rover 350cc motorcycle with Swallow Super Sports sidecar, and two period British advertisements for Wolseley and Armstrong Siddeley — proper garage-wall material. Board-game collectors are unusually well served, too: a vintage Carlton Roman-themed boxed chess set, a boxed Merit Staunton chessmen set by J & L Randall, and a set of Isle of Lewis-style replica pieces.
Standout lots to watch:
- Keith Woodcock-attributed ‘1974 Group 44 E-Type’ — the pick for marque enthusiasts
- Cast reconstituted-stone statue of a girl with puppies for the patio
- Cast-composition and coir-fibre hedgehog boot scraper, a charming country piece
- Zenith Gouda pottery Dutch-girl liqueur decanter for Bols
- Set of four grey-painted Windsor spindle-back dining chairs
It runs online only on Sunday 28 June 2026 at 12:00pm (BST) from Unit 10, Bakers Yard, Marsh Barton Trading Estate, Exeter EX2 8RG, Devon — a solid stop if you’re hunting a motoring-art or garden-statuary auction in Exeter. See the Marsh Barton sale listing and the Marsh Barton auctions house page.
What’s in the Auction247 airline clearance sale?
For something different, Auction247 in London offers a clearance of airline and duty-free stock — the kind of lot that draws resellers and fragrance fans alike. The headline draw is volume: a private-jet-charter beauty, perfume and tester clearance box holding roughly 90 to 110 items, the sort of bulk lot a market stall or online reseller can build a margin on.
If you’d rather gamble small, there’s a security-sealed premium beauty mystery bag of around five items, plus a mixed Saffron Oud fragrance gift-set lot of four boxed pieces for anyone who leans towards warmer, oud-led scents. Treat the mystery lots as exactly that — a flutter — and the bulk box as a trade buy.
Standout lots to watch:
- Private Jet Charter beauty, perfume & tester clearance box — approx. 90–110 items
- Air Movements security-sealed premium beauty mystery bag — approx. 5 items
- Mixed Saffron Oud fragrance gift-set lot — 4 boxed items
This is an online-only sale on Sunday 28 June 2026 at 8:00pm (BST), listed at 124 City Road, London EC1V 2NX — a late slot, ideal for a Sunday-evening browse. View the lots on the Auction247 airline clearance listing or follow the house on its Auction247 house page.
What’s in the Chaucer Auctions live diecast sale?
Rounding off the run, Chaucer Auctions in Folkestone holds a dedicated live diecast model auction — the one to circle if your shelves already carry Corgi, Dinky or Matchbox. Diecast remains one of the friendliest fields to collect: condition and original boxes drive value, runs are well documented, and a focused single-category sale lets you compare like with like rather than fishing odd lots out of a general catalogue.
A specialist diecast sale is also a good place to fill gaps in a marque or scale run, so set your limits before the off and bid with discipline. The full catalogue is worth a methodical read before lots go live.
It takes place online only on Monday 29 June 2026 at 10:00am (BST), from Unit 1, Bowles Well Gardens, Folkestone, Kent CT19 6PQ — a tidy diecast model auction in Kent to start the week. Check the Chaucer diecast auction listing and the Chaucer Auctions house page for the live catalogue and registration.
