I took in 3*lorry & 2*van loads to the recent Mart Implement sale, and all sold apart from 4*doors and 2*items I had reserves on. As a means of clearing stock this was excellent as I was liquidating stock from a business after a summer of private sales using Facebook Marketplace 60%, advert in the Orcadian 20%, On site workshop sale 15%, Roadsign passers by 4%, eBay 1%, Google Ads 0%, Instagram 0%, Gumtree 0%. In terms of sales lead generation the internet has its place, and you will always get more in a private sale but deduct your time effort then I would recommend Orkney Auction Mart as first place. The team at the mart were very efficient in their systems, and friendly to deal with for customer service. Only criticism would be the sales need to be more frequent, perhaps bi-monthly, and I believe there is scope for having off-site auctions on farms or building sites away from Mart for large stock clearances. Perhaps a Facebook live video link for people to bid from home for those who cannot make it into Kirkwall for the auction time. The success of these sales depends on the people that's attracted and more people in Orkney should be going to them.

Always something of interest happening here
Good cafe..not bad priced
Cafe does cheap and cheerful food, good value for money though. The building is primarily an auction ring for livestock and farming equipment.
Furniture sale on once a month which is a good day out..café upstairs
Deli
The best companies in the category 'Deli'
