Government auctions in Wisconsin: what the numbers say

Government sellers in Wisconsin have 305 auctions open right now, mostly cars, trucks and SUVs (62), police vehicles (27), heavy equipment (24) and trailers and campers (22). The listings are on Wisconsin Surplus, GovDeals 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 Menasha Police Department, Racine County Government, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Surplus and Altoona School District. Mount Horeb, Superior, Appleton and Neenah have the most listings, and Dane, Douglas and Winnebago are the busiest counties. The next sale to close is Badland Winches ATV Utility Winch at $25.

Over the past year the UX Search sold archive recorded 280 closed sales in Wisconsin. The middle hammer price ran $9,700 for cars, trucks and SUVs (181 sales), $1,025 for everything else (47 sales) and $9,800 for heavy trucks (14 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.
