Military Surplus auctions: what the numbers say

There are 138 military surplus auctions open right now across 13 states, with the most in Pennsylvania (35), Texas (19), Tennessee (5), North Carolina (4) and Kentucky (3). Most of them are on GovDeals, Proxibid and Purple Wave. The biggest sellers at the moment are Monroe County, Commonwealth of Kentucky, Pennsylvania Federal Surplus and Cordry-Sweetwater Conservancy District. The next to close is Lot of 4 US Military Pelican / Hardigg Style Cases at $100.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 44 closed military surplus sales, with a middle hammer price of $358 and a range from $20 to $27,501. By state, Tennessee ran about $3,250 (7 sales), Georgia ran about $25 (5 sales) and North Carolina ran about $210 (4 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.

More auction sites for military surplus

UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.

Before you bid

  • Know what you can register. Some former military vehicles can’t be titled for road use in every state. Check your state’s rules before you bid.
  • Everything is sold as-is. Government sellers rarely guarantee condition. Read the description closely and inspect when you can.
  • Know the pickup rules. Most government sales give you a short window to remove items, and you load them yourself.
  • Count the fees. Some government platforms add a buyer’s premium; others don’t. Check each listing.
