If you work in live production, you’ll know the moment.
You’re browsing gear, half-curious, half-hopeful… and suddenly there’s something you actually need.

That’s essentially what the 10K Used Auction is built for.

The latest auction is now live, featuring over 1,000 pieces of professional AV equipment across audio, lighting, video and rigging.
So whether you’re expanding inventory, replacing a tired unit, or just quietly upgrading something that’s been “fine for years”, there’s plenty to explore.

No buyers premium. Just bids.

Auctions can sometimes feel complicated. This one isn’t.

There’s no buyer’s premium, no hidden extras, and no confusing structures — just straightforward bidding on equipment from some of the most trusted manufacturers in the industry.

Simple. Transparent. Fair.

The brands you actually want

Across the catalogue you’ll find familiar names that regularly sit at the centre of live productions:

  • Audio: L-Acoustics, Meyer Sound, Yamaha, Allen & Heath, DiGiCo and Shure

  • Lighting: Martin Professional, Robe, Claypaky, Chauvet Professional, ETC, MA Lighting and Avolites

  • Video: ROE, Infiled, Christie, Panasonic and Samsung

  • Rigging: Prolyte, Tomcat, LoadGuard and CM Lodestar

In other words: the kind of equipment that ends up on tours, in venues, and in rental warehouses around the world.

Key dates to know

The auction runs across several closing days, with lots finishing in stages:

  • Viewing (by appointment): 16-20 March

  • Bidding ends: 24–25 March at 4pm

  • Collection: 30 March – 10 April (Email: listings@10kused.com to book your appointment)

  • Location: Ramsgate, UK (Book your appointment here)

Spacing the closing days out gives buyers time to focus on different lots — which is helpful when there’s this much gear involved.

More value in every bid

At 10K Used Gear, the goal is simple: keep high-quality production equipment working in the industry rather than sitting unused.

Auctions are one of the best ways to do that — connecting gear with the people who need it most.

And sometimes, if the timing is right, that piece of equipment you’ve been thinking about for months suddenly becomes a very good deal.
