Search every government auction in one place. Know what it's worth before you bid.

Government surplus auctions are public sales where federal, state, and local agencies sell items they no longer need. Every year, surplus property - from fleet vehicles and heavy equipment to computers, office furniture, and seized assets - is sold off to the public at auction.

GovAuctions is a government auction aggregator: instead of checking each platform one by one, it pulls listings from every major official source into one clean, searchable interface, with direct links to bid on the original platform. Every listing is a real, active government auction, de-duplicated across sources - we don't pad the feed with private-seller, classified, or expired listings to inflate a headline count. Used by more than 1 million people a year.

Across every market we've tracked 500,000+ government auctions in total - 69,719 live right now from 56 official sources, plus 430,000+ completed sales we've indexed and priced for resale comps. Every one is a real government auction, de-duplicated across sources - not a padded listing count.

It's also more than a search box. Every strong lot carries a comp-verified Flip Score (0-100), backed by what comparable lots actually sold for across 285,000+ past U.S. government auction sales, plus a recommended max bid - so you know the right price for a lot before you bid, not just where to find it.

The sold-price data is open. Our Surplus Price Index publishes median sold prices by category as a free CSV, and our open dataset of completed federal surplus lots is free to download, both under CC BY 4.0. Reporters and researchers can find every download and how to cite it on our research and data hub.
