A named WW1 medal to a Royal Garrison Artillery gunner, a Franklin Mint panther bangle, and a rare Boswell Wilkie circus poster — four online-only UK sales close between Thursday and Sunday, and the contents could hardly be more different. Gold sovereigns and silver in County Armagh, seven hundred lots of die-cast and militaria in Cornwall, designer jewellery on the Sussex coast, and an oddball run of circus and punk posters in the West Midlands. Here is what is worth your attention, and exactly how to bid on each.
What’s in the Buy Sell Trade Auction House sale in Armagh?
If you like the gamble of a £1 start, this is your sale. Every lot at Buy Sell Trade Auction House opens at a single pound with no reserve — the format that turns a quiet Thursday evening into a proper scrap. The headline draw is precious metal, gold sovereigns and silver antiques, but the long tail of oddments rewards a patient scroll.
For the militaria collector there is the WW1 medal to Gnr J F Buckley, RGA, Leinster — a named Royal Garrison Artillery piece that invites a bit of service-record detective work. Elsewhere the catalogue swings from a vintage pocket watch chain and two ladies’ watches to a boxed Kodak camera, vintage glassware, and a shelf of Irish-interest books including Robert Kee’s Ireland and a copy of Glenanaar from the Talbot library. Add the gaming lots — a PlayStation 3 console and a brace of PS4 headsets — plus football shirts including a Lyon home jersey and a retro Manchester United top, and you have a sale built for mixed-bag bargain hunters rather than specialists.
When and where: Online only, closing Thursday 25 June 2026 from 8:00pm BST. The rooms are at Unit 1 & 2, 84 Monaghan Road, Armagh, BT60 4DR, with collection or delivery offered. Bid through the live BidSpirit catalogue; lots are added daily, so the count you see now is not the count at hammer time. Browse the full no-reserve midweek auction in Armagh and keep refreshing.
What can you find at the Carn Brea Auctions Collectors sale in Camborne?
This is the one for the dedicated collector. Carn Brea Auctions has assembled over 700 lots for its Collectors sale, and the categories read like a Sunday-fair dealer’s table: die-cast models, militaria, model railway, silver, gaming, comics and magazines, vinyl records, vintage toys and a healthy seam of the simply unusual.
Volume is the appeal. A sale this size is where you fill gaps — the missing carriage from a Hornby rake, a die-cast you have hunted for years, a box of vinyl to flip or to keep. Model railway and die-cast lots tend to draw brisk trade-buyer interest in Cornwall, and 700-plus lots gives you room to bid selectively rather than chase every shiny thing. First-time bidders will find it a low-stakes way to learn an online timed sale.
When and where: Online only, from Friday 26 June 2026 at 5:00pm BST, run out of Trevithick Market, Trevithick Road, Camborne, Cornwall, TR14 8LQ. For a Cornwall collectables auction with genuine breadth, start with the Carn Brea Collectors sale catalogue.
When and where is the Rosan Reeves Auctions sale in Hailsham?
Jewellery and designer accessories are the spine of this 145-lot sale from Rosan Reeves Auctions, the most boutique offering of the four. The standout is a Franklin Mint Duchess of Windsor panther hinged gold-plated bangle — a nod to the Cartier panthers the Duchess made famous, and a name that lifts costume-jewellery interest.
There is proper substance for the gold and gemstone buyer: a 9ct yellow gold cameo pendant with green hardstone earrings, a 9ct gold and pearl necklace, and a single lot of silver jewellery marked 925 weighing roughly 300g — worth doing the scrap-and-resale sums on before you bid. The fashion crowd is well served, with cuff bracelets by Lanvin and Givenchy, accessories from Celine, Jil Sander and Givenchy, Halcyon Days and YSL bangles, and sunglasses by Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg. The sale then turns practical — a KUPPET electric fireplace, a Hernals concert flute, boltless shelving, Acer monitors and crates of janitorial and safety kit — so trade buyers and house-clearance hunters get a look-in alongside the jewellery set.
When and where: Online only, closing Sunday 28 June 2026 from 6:00pm BST, with lots located at Arlington Road West, Hailsham, BN27 3RE. See the full run in the Rosan Reeves Hailsham jewellery auction listing.
What’s in the That’s Your Lot punk and circus poster sale?
Save the strangest for last. That’s Your Lot is running a timed auction of punk posters, circus and magic ephemera — a poster collector’s idea of a good Sunday night. Vintage circus bills dominate, and several are genuinely scarce: a rare Boswell Wilkie poster (43 x 56cm), a Herman Renz, a Sally Chipperfield, and an Aladdin Circus poster among them. Sizes and condition are stated lot by lot, which matters enormously when you are buying paper.
The magic and variety material is where it gets characterful: an event poster pairing escapologist Harry Hardeeni with Lofty from It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, three Uri Geller flyers, and bundles of circus flyers spanning Zippos, Billy Smart and the Circus of Horrors. There is autograph interest too, with a signed Elvis and You book and an autographed Freddie Starr title, plus 1980s nostalgia in early-edition Viz comics (including issue no. 10) and a pair of Viz annuals. Photographic and cine collectors should note the 8mm and Super 8 films and a Leitz Wetzlar Leica 35mm film retriever. Eclectic, affordable and great fun.
When and where: Online-only timed auction, ending Sunday 28 June 2026 from 7:00pm BST, run from Unit 38 Wombourne Enterprise Park, Bridgnorth Road, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WV5 0AL. Have a proper look through the punk and circus posters auction before it closes.
