Methodology: median final winning bid on shelving unit lots that closed on official United States government auction platforms over the trailing 365 days, matched by title. Realised sale prices, excluding buyer's premium. No-bid lots excluded. Updated daily. Item prices are a title-matched valuation and are held deliberately conservative, so they can sit below the category figures in the GovAuctions.app Surplus Price Index. Free to cite with attribution.
