AlleVeilingen

Belgium has an unusually crowded auction market for its size, and AlleVeilingen exists to make it searchable. It indexes twenty named auction houses in one place — Auctelia, AuctionPort, Belga Veilingen, Bopa, DESVO, Hammertime, Industrial Auctions, Komerco, Lussis, Openbare-verkopen, Surplex, Troostwijk, Vavato, VeilBalie, Venalis, VH Auctions, Vlavem and others — most of which have their own entries in this directory.

What you can buy

• Whatever those twenty houses are selling — industrial machinery, business inventory, tools, catering equipment, construction plant and general goods.

How the bidding works

The index filters by keyword, by region across all eleven Belgian provinces plus Brussels, and by auction house, and sorts by start date, end date, lot count or distance from you. Clicking a sale takes you to the house running it, where registration and bidding happen under their terms.

What to check before you bid

One caveat the site states itself: with an ad blocker enabled you see only half the auctions and lots. That is how it funds itself, but it means an incomplete picture unless you allow its ads. Beyond that, the usual aggregator rule applies — the auction house's terms, premium and collection window are what bind you, not the index entry.
