Government auctions are interesting. Not a lot of information on pricing. My dad bid on multiple LCVPs, guessing on a reasonable price for them based on what the engines were worth. Fortunately he only won one of them. If all 4 had shown up at our house, my mom would have killed him. Interesting aside, the casting date on the transmission housing was 1945 - but the hulls were built in 1967. Those Detroit Diesel 6-71s…

this is a fascinating example of how I'm interested in what any of this meant, but not interested enough to look it up, bravo!
It would be good to mention which government in the title :)
The title claims to search every platform but I don't see any evidence of either https://www.govdeals.com/ or https://www.publicsurplus.com/ which are probably the biggest government auction sites.
Hi, yes, my apologies. One thing I'm currently fixing is the workflow for bringing in many of the listings that sites like GovDeals cover but are not part of the available APIs. Scraping sites like GovDeals is kind of shady and not something I want to do, so I am ingesting and cleaning a lot of data from state/government websites myself. While I fix that, I've removed those references from the site.
