Top Selling Items At Simo Charles - A Guide For Vendors

At Simon Charles Auctions, a large proportion of our bidder base is made up of professional resellers, alongside end users and trade buyers. This reseller demand plays a key role in driving competition and strong results for vendors. Stock that is popular, recognisable and easy to resell consistently performs well across our auctions. Below is an overview of the product categories that attract the most interest from resellers and buyers alike, making them particularly effective for vendors supplying stock to auction.

Electronics:

Electronics remain one of the most competitive and fast-moving categories across our auctions, with High Value Auctions consistently performing well and attracting strong interest from resellers seeking popular, in-demand items. Items such as games consoles, laptops, smartphones and smart watches are especially attractive to resellers due to their strong brand recognition and predictable resale demand. Air fryers also continue to perform well, driven by lifestyle trends and high turnover potential. For vendors, electronics benefit from repeat reseller buying, competitive bidding and fast sales cycles when items are clearly graded and accurately described.

White Goods White goods remain a dependable category, supported by strong demand from both resellers and individual buyers, with our Premium White Goods Auctions consistently performing well. Dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges and freezers attract interest from resellers supplying essential household items, as well as private buyers looking for quality appliances at auction prices. When supplied in volume, these products provide an effective route to market for surplus, returned or clearance stock.

Toys:

The toys category performs strongly where items are recognisable, collectible or in consistent demand. Lego sets are highly sought after by resellers, particularly sealed, themed or discontinued lines, while also attracting strong interest from individual collectors. Pokémon cards generate similar demand, appealing to both collectors and resale-focused buyers, often resulting in competitive bidding. For vendors, careful lotting and clear condition details help maximise reseller confidence and final hammer prices.

Furniture:

Furniture continues to attract steady interest from both end users and resellers. Sofas and beds perform particularly well, with resellers drawn to items that have high retail replacement costs and strong local resale potential. The consistent demand for this type of stock is reflected in the fact that we run over four furniture auctions each week, all of which perform strongly. Clear condition reporting and practical lot groupings further support engagement and smooth sales.

Clothing and Footwear:

Fashion performs best at auction when brand value is immediately clear. Well-known clothing and footwear brands attract consistent reseller attention, with trainers, designer shoes and branded apparel offering strong resale margins. Auctions provide vendors with an efficient channel to move end-of-line, overstock or returned fashion stock at scale.
