The map is lopsided for a reason: the biggest states run the biggest fleets. Texas alone has 3,517 lots up right now. If you switch the shading to weirdness, the leaderboard scrambles.
Method
Counts, values and the per-state lots are drawn live from every currently-active U.S. government surplus listing we track, grouped by the lot's location state. “Total value” sums current bids (a floor, not a forecast); “typical price” is the median current bid. “Median sold price” comes from the last 12 months of completed sales in that state. “Weirdness” counts lots an automated novelty scorer flagged as genuinely strange, and the highlighted weird lot is each state's top-scoring one. “Biggest bargain” is the live lot bid furthest below its comparable-sales value.
