Government auctions in Delaware: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Delaware have 18 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (10), heavy trucks (3), computers and electronics (1) and heavy equipment (1). The listings are on GovDeals, Purple Wave and IronPlanet, and every one on this page links to the listing on the platform that runs the sale.

The middle hammer price ran $4,600 for cars, trucks and SUVs (45 sales), $17,350 for heavy trucks (20 sales) and $2,000 for police vehicles (9 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.
