Energy, Oilfield & Utility Equipment auctions: what the numbers say

There are 1,272 energy, oilfield & utility equipment auctions open right now across 45 states, with the most in Florida (75), Virginia (71), Texas (65), California (45) and Georgia (37). Most of them are on Proxibid, GovDeals and IronPlanet. The biggest sellers at the moment are City of Pittsburgh, State of Georgia, Cooper County and Whitemarsh Township. The next to close is DeVilbiss 4000 Watt Portable Generator at $31.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 502 closed energy, oilfield & utility equipment sales, with a middle hammer price of $288 and a range from $10 to $56,500. By state, California ran about $290 (65 sales), Georgia ran about $55 (55 sales) and Virginia ran about $195 (46 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.
