Hi, it's Ben with your weekly update on what's new at GovAuctions.app. Here's what I shipped this week, a couple of numbers, and the strangest thing I found up for auction.
What's new
New features
- Site can now be installed as an app on desktop and mobile
- Added shipping estimates and options for listings
- Added a special subcategory for wrecks, so salvage resellers can get accurate Flip Score estimates
- Added tap-to-zoom on lot pages to help examine detail on hi-res images
- Added a vehicle age filter
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where the text entry field on mobile would flicker when the user starts scrolling
- Fixed a bug where backhoe loaders and excavators were being miscategorized
By the numbers
A few things I'm happy to share this week:
- 58,000+ live listings indexed right now, refreshed daily.
- 4 countries and 50 US states with active listings.
Wacky listing of the week
My favorite find this week: A full Coker facility in Bakersfield, CA, with bidding starting at $500,000. See the listing.
That's it for this week. If you have any questions or suggestions, send me a message - I read every one. Thanks for reading, and happy bidding.
