Furniture & Household auctions: what the numbers say

There are 3,270 furniture & household auctions open right now across 43 states, with the most in California (222), Ohio (163), Virginia (145), North Carolina (129) and Texas (119). Most of them are on Proxibid, GovDeals and Public Surplus. The biggest sellers at the moment are Department of Medicine and Surgery, Fairfax County, Western Kentucky University and Cleveland State University. The next to close is 10 blue cushion chairs at $25.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 1,303 closed furniture & household sales, with a middle hammer price of $25 and a range from $1 to $59,000. By state, Nebraska ran about $12 (200 sales), Virginia ran about $10 (140 sales) and Michigan ran about $17 (90 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.

Can anyone bid?

Yes. Government surplus auctions are open to the public. You register on the platform that runs the sale, usually for free; some sales ask for a card on file or a deposit. Pickup is usually in person at the seller's location.

Last updated October 28, 2026 at 1:26 AM ET. Live counts come from the UX Search index, which reads the government auction platforms every 15 minutes; sold prices are real hammer prices from the UX sold archive over the past year. UX Search is independent and never takes a bid; bidding, payment and pickup happen on the platform that runs each sale.

Home and office furniture and appliances sell at estate, returns and government surplus auctions. These are the sites that sell them.

Office furniture is the most common thing a government sells. Every renovation and every move puts desks, task chairs, conference tables, filing cabinets, cubicle systems and shelving into surplus, usually in lots, and the condition is often better than the price suggests because commercial furniture is built for years of daily use. Schools sell student desks and cafeteria tables by the dozen; hospitals and universities sell beds, lounge seating and lab benches.

Household furniture and appliances are rarer at government auction but do appear from seized-property sales and from housing programs. Nearly every furniture sale is pickup only within a short window, so the truck, the helpers and the distance to the warehouse are part of the price. Our sold prices below show what desks, chairs and cabinets really went for.
