Methodology: figures reflect the current or last bid on live and recently-ended lots aggregated from UK government & surplus auction platforms — they indicate bid levels, not guaranteed final sale prices, and exclude buyer's premium and VAT. Lots with no bids are excluded; categories need at least 5 lots to appear. Updated hourly.
