Government auctions in Michigan: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Michigan have 669 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (203), heavy trucks (75), real estate (42) and heavy equipment (33). The listings are on GovDeals, Proxibid and J.J. Kane, and every one on this page links to the listing on the platform that runs the sale.

The biggest sellers at the moment are Washtenaw Community College, Lansing Police Department, Detroit Land Bank Authority and Department of Medicine and Surgery, with 16 other agencies listing as well. Charlotte, Ann Arbor, Lansing and Detroit have the most listings, and Eaton, Washtenaw and Ingham are the busiest counties. The next sale to close is 2019 Ford F150 Ext.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 2,071 closed sales in Michigan. The middle hammer price ran $10,400 for cars, trucks and SUVs (1,491 sales), $120 for everything else (309 sales) and $3,925 for heavy trucks (84 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.
