About Us

A new stage for a Scarborough family business

51 Auction is the newest member of the 51 Group family — built on the same foundation our group has stood on since 2003: do good work, price it honestly, and look after your neighbours.

Our Story

From workshops to the auction floor

The 51 Group has called Scarborough home since 2003. What began with custom cabinetry and millwork grew, trade by trade, into a family of local businesses — building, furnishing and supplying homes and companies across the Greater Toronto Area.

Along the way we kept meeting people with good things to sell and nowhere good to sell them: families settling estates, businesses clearing space, neighbours with a garage full of quality items and no time for classified ads. 51 Auction is our answer — one weekly sale where anything can find its next owner, and every price is set the fairest way there is: by the people who want it.

How We Run It

Simple rules, kept promises

  • One weekly sale, every Saturday — easy to plan around, easy to make a habit.
  • A 5% buyer’s premium — among the lowest anywhere, stated up front on every lot.
  • Bid on anything you’re interested in — furniture, electronics, tools, home goods and the happily unexpected.
  • Local pickup, Canada-wide shipping — collect at 115 Ironside Crescent Unit 11, Scarborough, ON M1X 1M1, or have your wins delivered.
