Municibid Auctions: Live Listings Nationwide (2026)

497 active Municibid listings across the U.S. right now.

Municibid focuses on small-town and rural municipal sellers - borough councils, township public works, volunteer fire companies, and small school districts that don't have the volume to justify a GovDeals contract. Inventory skews toward fire and public-works equipment (used fire trucks, brush trucks, backhoes, plow trucks) and confiscated/decommissioned police gear. Sellers pay a listing fee, and the winning bidder pays a buyer's fee on top of the hammer price - 9% up to $99,999.99, then 6% to $499,999.99 and 4% above that - charged to the card on file when the auction closes and paid separately from what you pay the selling agency. Every listing links back to bid on municibid.com - GovAuctions doesn't sit between you and the seller.Last updated: 2026-10-15
