Government auctions in Alabama: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Alabama have 402 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (65), heavy equipment (55), furniture (47) and heavy trucks (29). The listings are on GovDeals, Purple Wave and GSA Auctions, and every one on this page links to the listing on the platform that runs the sale.

Fort Payne, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville have the most listings, and De Kalb, Mobile and Tuscaloosa are the busiest counties. The next sale to close is 10-80 HP Mini-Computers at $2,000.52.

The middle hammer price ran $6,200 for cars, trucks and SUVs (1,067 sales), $55 for everything else (566 sales) and $11,700 for heavy equipment (145 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.

A government sells what it is done with: vehicles replaced on a schedule, equipment from a department that closed or consolidated, and property seized or abandoned and sold by the county. The seller's name is on every listing, the photos show the condition, and most sales are pickup only at the location listed, within a window of a week or two after the close. Read the terms on the sale before you bid; the premium and the pickup rules differ by platform and by seller.
