Australian Auction Discovery Platform Expands Search Coverage to Over 100 Auction Houses Nationwide

Melbourne, Australia, February 09, 2026 --(PR.com)-- AuctionFinder.com.au, an independent Australian auction discovery platform founded in 2005, has announced the expansion of its search engine to cover over 100 auction houses nationwide, providing buyers with unprecedented access to auction listings across all states and territories.

The expansion represents a significant increase in market coverage for the platform, which continues to aggregate weekly upcoming auction notices by state and category while now offering comprehensive search functionality across a substantially larger portion of Australia's auction landscape.

"Reaching 100+ auction house partners is a significant milestone that reflects both the growth of online auctions in Australia and the need for better discovery tools," said Rod L'Huillier, founder of AuctionFinder. "This expansion means buyers can now search across a much wider range of legitimate auction inventory without spending hours jumping between individual websites."

The expanded search engine covers auctions across major categories, including vehicles, machinery, industrial equipment, collectibles, antiques and general goods. The platform prioritises recently published listings from both major auction houses and smaller auctioneers.

Australia's auction market operates through a highly fragmented network of independent auction houses, each maintaining separate websites and catalogues. This fragmentation has historically made it difficult for buyers to gain a comprehensive view of available inventory without conducting time-intensive manual searches across dozens of platforms.

AuctionFinder addresses this challenge by serving as a neutral aggregator that benefits both buyers seeking specific items and auction houses looking to reach motivated purchasers. The platform does not sell items, host auctions, or take commissions from sales.

The expansion comes as Australian consumers increasingly turn to secondary markets and auctions to find value amid rising retail costs. By improving visibility of used and surplus assets, the platform supports equipment reuse and helps extend the lifecycle of vehicles, machinery, and goods already in circulation.
