Public housing authorities, university dormitories, military family housing, and municipal facilities buy appliances in volume and replace them in volume. When units turn over or a building is refitted, the old appliances are auctioned: refrigerators, washing machines and dryers, microwaves, cookers, and water coolers. Lots are frequently multi-unit, which is what makes them worth the freight for landlords and resellers. Browse current listings below.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What appliances are sold at government auctions?
- Mostly the appliances that fit out residential units at scale: refrigerators, washing machines, tumble dryers, microwaves, and cookers. Facility appliances such as water coolers, ice makers, and vending equipment also appear.
- Are surplus appliances tested before sale?
- Rarely. Most government surplus is sold as-is with no functional testing and no warranty, and listings often say only that the unit was in service when removed. Treat an untested appliance as a gamble priced accordingly, and use the inspection window if one is offered.
- Why are appliances often sold in multi-unit lots?
- Because that is how they were bought and removed. A housing authority refitting a block pulls dozens of identical units at once and auctions them together rather than individually. That keeps the per-unit price low but means you need transport and somewhere to put them.
