Airplane & Aircraft auctions: what the numbers say

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 19 closed airplane & aircraft sales, with a middle hammer price of $2,575 and a range from $10 to $620,000. By state, Washington ran about $1,500 (3 sales). The buyer's premium, sales tax and pickup are on top of the hammer price, and each sale on this page links to the listing it came from.

Prices at government auction follow the seller, not the item: a state fleet that serviced a truck on schedule sells it for more than a county that ran it into the ground, and a sale that closes at 2 PM on a Tuesday draws fewer bidders than one that closes Sunday night. The listing's photos, the seller's name and the location tell you most of what you need; the sold prices on this page tell you the rest.
