Want every Wisconsin auction, not just Purple Wave? Wisconsin government & state surplus auctions covers all platforms at once.
Purple Wave is a no-reserve online auction marketplace strong in the Midwest and Plains, and a major outlet for government surplus from cities, counties, state DOTs, school districts, and municipal road/fire departments. We list only its government-consigned lots - fleet pickups and vehicles, construction and ag equipment, trailers, and shop tools - filtered out of its broader mix of private contractor and farm consignments. Each lot is a timed auction with pickup at the selling agency. This page tracks its live listings in Wisconsin (WI); every one links back to bid on purplewave.com.Last updated: 2026-08-22
