Your Plate is Not Listed. It is Curated.

Selling through Heritage Only is calm, deliberate, and highly controlled.

We represent a tightly curated selection of Heritage plates, entrusted to Victoria’s most established collectors through disciplined auction formats. Every detail — from presentation to placement — is designed to protect value and achieve the strongest possible result.

Ballroom Auction

Our quarterly flagship auctions, held in person, where scale, theatre, and competitive momentum are deliberately orchestrated. Bidders participate both in the room and remotely, creating high-energy competition that drives price discovery and standout results.

Boardroom Auction

Our intimate auction format presents a smaller, highly selective lineup of plates, with in-room bidding reserved for VIP collectors and complemented by real-time national and international online participation. The result is a concentrated pool of qualified demand, driving strong outcomes in a controlled, high-quality bidding environment.

Both formats are professionally auctioned and fully managed end-to-end by Heritage Only.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are no listing fees to enter your Heritage plate into our Live Auction. Heritage Only covers all marketing and event costs, ensuring your plate is professionally promoted to our network of collectors and investors. Your experience is designed to be simple, transparent, and cost-effective.

A Vendor’s Premium is a fee paid directly to Heritage Only from the final sale price. This fee covers the service of completing settlement and transferring ownership between the Buyer and the Seller. Heritage Only will deduct the Vendor’s Premium automatically from your final sale price. Our Vendor’s Premium is 3% (incl. GST).

All online bidders are required to undergo a thorough security verification process. If our team determines that a registration does not meet our standards, bidding privileges will not be granted for the auction. These measures effectively mitigate the risk of unethical or fraudulent behavior among online bidders.

If the auction meets the reserve and the buyer fails to complete the transaction, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, Heritage Only reserves the right to:

a. Cancel the Purchaser’s Account;
b. Initiate legal action to recover all owed funds, including Buyer’s Premium, administrative fees, expenses, and lost income;
c. Sell the Lot to the next highest Bidder or through another method without prior notice to the Purchaser, and seek to recover any shortfall from the Purchaser after deducting expenses;
d. Seek compensation from the Purchaser for any additional losses, costs, or expenses related to the resale of the Lot, including any difference between the original Purchase Price and the resale price.

The reserve is determined by the seller and Heritage Only.
