Government auctions in Ohio: what the numbers say

The middle hammer price ran $3,255 for cars, trucks and SUVs (1,726 sales), $350 for everything else (1,024 sales) and $3,350 for heavy equipment (196 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.
