Government auctions in Texas: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Texas have 3,812 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (863), heavy equipment (694), heavy trucks (220) and trailers and campers (145). 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.

Houston, Corsicana, Waxahachie and Hutchins have the most listings, and Harris, Navarro and Ellis are the busiest counties.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 4,095 closed sales in Texas. The middle hammer price ran $11,300 for cars, trucks and SUVs (2,506 sales), $500 for everything else (695 sales) and $5,350 for heavy equipment (252 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.
