Government auctions in Texas: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Texas have 3,803 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (902), heavy equipment (679), heavy trucks (222) and furniture (157). 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 biggest sellers at the moment are Port of Corpus Christi, Williamson County, Aubrey Independent School District and Mission Consolidated Independent School District (Self Service), with 20 other agencies listing as well. 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 4,035 closed sales in Texas. The middle hammer price ran $11,350 for cars, trucks and SUVs (2,492 sales), $488 for everything else (658 sales) and $5,400 for heavy equipment (251 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.
