Australian auctions, one register

Buy like a dealer at every Australian auction.

The edge dealers build over years, in one register over 113 rooms: each lot's real all-in price after the buyer's premium, what the thing last sold for, and the verified house behind it, with an alert the moment your thing lists. City houses and tiny estate salerooms alike.

What it does

Every saleroom in one register, straight to your inbox

Dealers refresh a dozen auction sites every morning. Collectors find out after the hammer has fallen. Lotwatch gives both the same edge: see it first, know the real cost, know the house.

Coverage

Across the country, in one register

We re-fetch the catalogues we track around the clock, the big-city houses and the onsite deceased-estate rooms of Cooroy and Burnie alike. Every state we cover, one register.

True cost

The price after the premium

Every lot shows the real all-in cost: hammer plus the house's buyer's premium and GST, worked out before you bid. No 25% or 35% surprise at checkout.

Monitors

Searches that hunt for you

Describe what you collect in a sentence. We match on what a lot is, so a “dive watch” monitor catches an Omega Seamaster and a Rolex Submariner both.

Changes

Alerts nobody else sends

We re-read and diff the catalogues we track: lots withdrawn, estimates revised, dates moved, results published. A halved estimate the week of a sale is worth knowing.

Estates

The estate feed

Deceased estates, downsizings and liquidations, flagged from the houses' own published copy. These are the under-catalogued sales where the finds turn up.

The archive

Hammer prices, kept forever

Houses delete their results; we never do. We capture realised prices nightly and keep them, the comparable record Australia doesn't otherwise hold.

Provenance

Facts, not opinions

Every figure traces to the house that published it, with the date we fetched it on the page. We never value a lot and never take a bid. We link you to the house.

Who it's for

Four jobs, one register

Dealers, collectors, valuers and estate practitioners use the same register for different reasons. Here is how each job gets done in a few steps.

How it feels

Set a monitor once.
Never refresh a saleroom site again.

Tell us what you collect in plain English. We read the rooms' shouty, truncated cataloguing for you, match on meaning, and send one clean email: instant, daily or weekly.
