We’re clearing the decks again with a mix of new, used, and clearance stock across the warehouse. Tradies, DIY addicts, bargain hunters, and those who “just popped in for a look”… this one’s calling your name.
Here’s a taste of what’s up for grabs:
Tools galore: power tools, hand tools, workshop gear, toolboxes, nuts and bolts, jacks, gardening tools — pretty much everything you need to finally tackle that project you’ve been avoiding.
Home and household: appliances, whiteware, toys, homeware, and those everyday essentials you’ll swear you needed all along.
DIY and clearance lines: food and drinks, trinkets, small appliances, quirky bits, and the kind of random bargains people brag about for months.
Most lots are priced to move with low or no reserves, so if you hesitate, someone else will grab the deal.
Step into the latest Police Auction — a treasure trove where cutting‑edge tech, premium audio gear, stylish eyewear, fashion accessories, watches, and the occasional delightful oddball all gather under one digital roof.
From Apple AirPods, iPhones, iPads, Watches, AirTags, and Samsung Galaxy handsets to DJI action cameras, Nintendo Switch mega packs, Canon cameras, and more, the tech lineup is stacked with everything from everyday essentials to serious toys for the gadget‑inclined.
Audiophiles are spoiled for choice: the catalogue boasts Sony WH‑1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort, Beats Studio, Sennheiser, JBL, Audio‑Technica, and even kids’ headphones — ideal whether you're tuning in, tuning out, or simply upgrading what’s on your head.
Fashion‑focused bidders will find a parade of sunglasses and accessories, including Ray‑Ban, Prada, Oakley, Maui Jim, Karen Walker, Costa, Dirty Dog, Hueys, and more — alongside an eclectic mix of wallets, purses, belt bags, clutches, watches, jewellery‑style pieces, and other stylish surprises.
Whether you’re replacing, upgrading, collecting, gifting, or just browsing for fun, this lineup is primed to deliver excitement at every scroll.
This auction is packed with an eclectic mix of commercial kitchen gear like undercounter dishwashers, bain maries, charcoal ovens and deep fryers; office and shop fittings including display cabinets, desks, shelving, dividers and monitor stands; and DIY and trade essentials from ladders, drills, welders and saws through to insulation boards, cement panels, plywood, doors, and fencing.
There’s plenty for the home renovator — vanities, blinds, tiles, polycarbonate roofing, planters, stainless benches, and even full Kaboodle kitchen sets.
Fashion lovers and bargain hunters will find shoes, jackets, suitcases, gym bags, and more, while gardeners can grab vertical gardens, tools, shears and trellis systems.
Add in boxes of bath bombs, cleaning products, gift boxes, dried flowers, tech accessories, and even a few quirky surprises like ammo tins, fish smokers, birthday candles, and giant AirPod speakers — and you’ve got a classic Thornton’s mix of the useful, the valuable, and the delightfully random.
