All descriptions are as accurate as possible and where there is a fault, we will endeavour to notify of this with ‘as found’ in the description. Viewing for online auction lots can be viewed at Brilliant Auctions strictly by appointment, as well as online. All electrical items whether shown as working or not are ‘Sold as Scrap’ and we highly recommend that they are checked by a qualified electrician before use as they will be untested.

Protecting Auctioneers
To ensure the protection of all parties we work with from any form of illegal, unfair, or inappropriate behaviour, we take practical measures. This involves keeping track of account activities, including user contact information, device usage, website activity, bidding history, purchase records, and payment history. This information is shared with other relevant partners, such as auctioneers, to assist parties in managing their commercial risks in the context of our joint services.
In the event that behaviour is deemed inappropriate or presents a threat, we reserve the right to temporarily halt automatic approvals. In such cases, you will need to directly communicate with the auctioneer in order to participate in their auction.
White Label Platforms
When we offer technological services to an auctioneer, you become a direct customer of the auctioneer and they assume the role of data controller. The auctioneer is accountable for the handling of your data. Any enquiries or concerns regarding your data should be directed to the auctioneer.
