- Can I filter Washington DC collectibles auctions by distance from my ZIP code?
- Yes. Surplus is pickup-only, so distance from you usually matters more than the state a lot sits in. In the GovAuctions feed you can enter your ZIP and set a radius of 25, 50, or 100 miles, and the filter applies across every indexed platform at once rather than one marketplace at a time. Results sort by pickup distance, so a radius search also catches collectibles just over the Washington DC state line that browsing by state alone would hide.
