Adam McDonald
Adam McDonald has been a “picker” his whole life and has a great pedigree in the Auction and Valuation space with over 20 years of experience in the auction world. He started out running the auctioneers book to becoming one of Australia’s best live call auctioneers.
Having a passion for early industrial items, he sunk his teeth into buying and selling this genre to build the burgeoning Sydney market. Quickly outgrowing the auction house he was employed with, Adam made the step up and was the head Auctioneer and Valuer at Sydney’s and Australia’s oldest auction business (Lawsons, est in the 1870s) for 16 years.
As the years went by, Adam found his true passion, Mid-Century Design, and built what was arguably Australia’s strongest monthly 20th Century sale. Looking for a new start, Adam has moved to Canberra to join the ALLBIDS team and with that brings his wealth of knowledge and his know-how of how a buoyant auction room should run, and made a great impact on our team.

Managing customer service and freight departments for international online retailers, they have a passion for customer service and problem solving. They started at AllBids as Freight manager, improving our freight systems, and have progressed through the business streamlining processes not only in shipping, but customer service and beyond.
Sarah is now the EVHA floor manager, working closely with Adam in our showroom to elevate the customer and vendor experience as well as learning the ropes from some of the best in the business.
