Military
-16% to $105
Tools
+11% to $70
The median winning bid on a military lot at U.S. government auctions fell 16% in the week of November 2, 2026, from $125 to $105, across 954 lots that finished bidding.
Other categories that moved by 10% or more: industrial tools +11% (to $70).
A median moves for two reasons: prices changed, or a different mix of lots closed that week (more trucks than sedans, say). Read one week as a signal to look closer, not as a trend on its own.
