A road-legal quad bike built by a named customiser, a five-thousand-year-old stone figurine, a full vinyl-printing rig and a sheaf of autographed first day covers — four online sales over the next fortnight, and not one of them resembles the others. Here’s what each is offering and how to get into them, from a Leeds clearance to a London antiquities sale.
What’s in the Shelby’s Auctioneers furniture and collectibles sale?
This is a roll-your-sleeves-up clearance that trade buyers and small-business owners quietly love. The standout for makers and sign-shops is the DGI Omega OM-80 cutting plotter, sold with cables and backed by roughly eleven rolls of professional adhesive vinyl and vehicle wrap film — Orafol among them — plus an industrial manual clamshell sublimation heat press with digital controllers. That’s most of a working vinyl-and-print setup under one roof.
The rest reads like a well-stocked workshop and garden shed combined:
- Power tools: DeWALT DW62 and Bosch PKS 46 circular saws, a Pro Performance CLM210SLMS sliding compound mitre saw, Flex and Draper angle grinders with a Bals site transformer, and two vintage Britool chrome alloy socket sets in their original metal cases.
- Petrol kit: a SIP Medusa T1000 S portable petrol generator and a rotary mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine, bag and fuel canister.
- Summer living: a Woolworths two-burner hooded gas barbecue, a Dometic CombiCool RC 2200 three-way cooler and a Maypole breathable caravan cover for the touring crowd.
- Odds worth a punt: vintage Goodmans Hi-Fi speakers, a Gtech cordless sweeper, a Hoover cordless stick vacuum and a red six-drawer steel filing cabinet.
It runs online only on Saturday 27 June 2026 from 12:30pm (BST), with Shelby’s based at Old Corporation Yard, Tong Road, Armley, Leeds (LS12 4NQ).

How do I bid on the Yamaha SuperQuad at Rosan Reeves Auctions?
A single lot, but a head-turner. The Yamaha 660 MT09 road-legal SuperQuad, customised by Quad Werx, is a four-wheeler built and finished to be ridden legally on the road, not just across a field — a summer machine with genuine character and a recognised builder’s name behind it.
Read the practicalities carefully before you commit. The listing closes Sunday 2 July at 9pm (BST), payment is by bank transfer only, and collection must be booked within three working days after the sale (Monday to Wednesday). Rosan Reeves is online only, run from Arlington Road West, Hailsham, East Sussex (BN27 3RE). Read the full Yamaha SuperQuad listing and the rest from Rosan Reeves Auctions.
What’s in the Belmont Auctions antiquities sale?
This is the one for serious collectors. Belmont’s Antiquities: Islamic & Asian Fine Art reaches back well over five thousand years, and is led by a rare complete Persian Qur’an. Standout lots include:
- A Neolithic stone female figurine of Venus type, possibly circa 3000–2000 BC, alongside a Neolithic sculpture of intertwined human figures, circa 5000–3000 BC — the kind of early form museums build cases around.
- Ancient Egyptian material: a predynastic red granite jar (3500–2700 BC), a granite ovoid jar, a carved hardstone Horus falcon and a lug-handled stone vessel.
- An Eastern alabaster Tell Brak eye idol (3500–3300 BCE) and an early Bronze Age alabaster anthropomorphic idol.
- Roman and Near Eastern pieces: a blown glass bottle with applied trailing, a carved stone foot with lion-mask decoration, and a Palmyrene limestone funerary relief bust of a noblewoman, circa 2nd–3rd century AD.
For collectors who want something wearable and affordable, there’s a remarkable run of Islamic silver signet and talismanic rings set with carnelian, agate and intaglio seals — a whole category in miniature and a sensible entry point for a first-time bidder. The sale is online only on Wednesday 8 July 2026 from 1:00pm (BST), with Belmont at 184 Acton Lane, Park Royal, London (NW10 7NH). Explore the Islamic and Asian antiquities auction in London or follow these London auctioneers via the Belmont Auctions page. As ever with antiquities, read the provenance in the catalogue before bidding.
What’s in the Chaucer Auctions signed FDC and navy models sale?
Folkestone closes the fortnight with a live evening sale aimed at philatelists and naval enthusiasts. The headline draws are the signed first day covers — a favourite crossover between stamp collecting and autograph hunting, since one cover can carry both a postal date and a piece of someone’s hand. Add stamps, navy models and general collectables, and there’s plenty to keep a Kent collector busy.
It runs online only on Wednesday 8 July 2026 from 6:00pm (BST) from Chaucer’s rooms at Unit 1, Bowles Well Gardens, Folkestone, Kent (CT19 6PQ). Browse the signed FDC, stamps and navy models sale, and see what else these Kent auctioneers have lined up at Chaucer Auctions.
