Scrap Auctions / Australia
Bid, negotiate, or buy at a fixed price on scrap metal listings across Australia, without driving between yards to compare what's actually on offer.
Sourcing scrap the traditional way means physically visiting yards, one at a time, to see what's available and haggle over price in person. Every listing and buyer request across Australia is searchable from one place on ScrapTrade, so comparing your options doesn't cost you a day of driving.
Let competing buyers push the price on an unusual or high-value lot, watched in real time from wherever you are.
Skip the back-and-forth of a yard visit and propose your price directly, counter until you both agree.

Whether you close the deal by bidding, negotiating, or buying at the listed price, payment is held in escrow until delivery is confirmed on both sides, whether the other party is across town or across the country. Check today's reference prices before you bid or make an offer.
That's the point of it. Instead of physically visiting yard after yard to compare what's on offer, listings and buyer requests across Australia are searchable from one place, and you can bid, negotiate, or buy at a fixed price without leaving the site.
Depends on the material. A common, well-priced grade usually moves faster at a fixed price. An unusual lot, or one where you suspect real competitive interest, is often better run as a live auction. If you know exactly what you want to pay, a private negotiation skips the wait entirely.
The same way it does for an international one, payment is held until delivery is confirmed on both sides. It matters less when you can drive to inspect material in person, but it still removes the risk of paying upfront and hoping the load shows up as described.
Yes. Listings aren't limited to your immediate area, a buyer in another state (or another country) can bid on or negotiate for your material the same way a local one can.
That's a completely valid choice, and it's the default for most listings. Bidding and negotiation are options on top of a fixed price, not a requirement to use them.
Bid, negotiate, or buy now, with escrow protecting every deal.
