Plane Auctions Still Grounded as Other Items Take Flight
Plane auction hero banner

As the auction calendar fills up over the next two weeks, bidders will find a bustling lineup of vehicle sales, industrial machinery, and real estate offerings, but none of the listings include any plane assets. The earliest closings occur today, with two online sales wrapping up on a range of overstock home‑improvement supplies and industrial tools. Shortly thereafter, a timed auction for late‑model plastic injection molding equipment and related machinery will conclude, followed by a sale of a specialized wheel‑truing machine and surplus assets from a medical‑device manufacturer. The next day, a lot of surplus vehicles from a major power‑generation company will be available for inspection before the final bid.

Mid‑week, a quarterly online simulcast will showcase farm equipment and vehicles, while a stately Victorian home will be up for auction the following day. By the weekend, a local auction house will host a live sale featuring a mix of vehicles, tools, outdoor furnishings, and seasonal décor. The following week, a dedicated auction will present a restored sports car with a rebuilt engine alongside assorted household items.

Looking ahead to early November, a jewellery‑focused event and a fine‑dolls collection will draw attention, but again, no plane listings appear. The pattern suggests that current market interest is skewed toward heavy‑industry assets, automotive restorations, and property, leaving the niche plane segment unrepresented in the upcoming schedule. Collectors seeking aircraft will need to monitor future catalogs, as the present slate offers no opportunities in that category.
