The Weekly Surplus Market Report

Every week we record what the U.S. government surplus market actually did: how many lots finished bidding, what they closed for, how often they sold, and which lots drew a crowd. Each issue is frozen when it publishes, so the numbers you cite from a past week stay the numbers that were true that week.
