Eels for a steal

The first disposal, on October 29, takes place in Cape Town at Unit 1 in Bellville Business Park on Brug Street, Bellville.

Among a strong array of assets Chico da Silva of Consolidated will hoist the hammer over several trucks including five drop-side and four volume vans by known brands such as Isuzu and Nissan.

Seldom-seen lots, such as equipment for fresh water eel farming, will also be up for grabs.

“If it’s an eel or two it’ll be up for a steal – or two,” quips Da Silva. “Prices are still very much controlled by buyers. They call the shots and bargains right across the economic spectrum dominate the auction floor.”

Following Consolidated’s eel farming auction, Da Silva will be back in Johannesburg for a hardware and miscellaneous machinery sale at the company’s nerve center in Germiston at 10 President Street, on October 30.

This disposal at Auction Park consists of farming equipment, trucks, LDVs, forklifts, generators and a range of John Deere tractors.

Buyers can also expect hardware stocks worth R1 million at this auction.

And on October 31, a large amount of trucks and construction machinery from a completed contract will be cleared by yet another heavy duty disposal.

Late-model TLBs, Vermeer horizontal grinders and chippers, as well as state-of-the-art equipment from a waste recycling plant are but some of the lots buyers can expect at this auction at 5 Brammer Road South in Industries East, Germiston.

A few days after next week’s spate of sales Consolidated will hold a scrapyard liquidation disposal at 57 Steyer Street in Randfontein.

An Alligator nibbler and LA bounty cutters are but some of the assets from this jam-packed machinery jamboree.
