Thanks. Looks like there is an issue with these listings right now - working on it.

#13Seems to be missing stuff. I searched "volkswagen" on govdeals and found a lot of vehicles listed but nothing on this site.
Thank you. Looks like other people are having an issue finding these - I'm going to take the reference to these listings down until I can fix it.

Will check it out once I fix a bunch the bugs people are surfacing :-)

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is truly a weird and wonderful world of things you can buy out there. Last year I contemplated buying a 100-tonne crane in New Jersey, which was going for about $5,000. The only issue was that you had to go pick it up yourself...
I am looking for a 60 ft+ steel ship if you come across one.
There is a 25ft one currently at $1,550 in Montana, made from steel and comes with its own trailer! - https://www.govauctions.app/auction/gsa-3-1-QSC-I-26-284-021

#16Very interesting project! Can anyone comment on what the buying process is like? Specifically if there are any weird hoops to jump through or if it's a normal account signup and payment process. Is delivery available or do these need to be picked up in person?

The ones I’ve looked at need to be picked up in person, sometimes with very short deadlines.

It varies by state and authority. The majority require in-person pickup; for properties there is often longer, sometimes multi-stage bidding process (where the auctioneer periodically reviews current bids, and decides whether any are acceptable before moving to the next stage).

#19Feature request:
Let me filter and alert based on a distance, not just sort. e.g. "Lathe" within 100 miles of Baltimore. GovDeals lets you do this, but their distance filter is very inaccurate.

#20Doesn't seem accurate considering GovDeals has auctions in NY, NJ and CT listed but your website has nothing.
