GovLiquidation
Visit GovLiqGovLiquidation is the Liquidity Services marketplace for U.S. Department of Defense surplus. Most of what it sells comes from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the arm of the DoD that disposes of property the military no longer needs: trucks and Humvees, generators, electronics, hand tools, medical and field gear, and bulk lots of general surplus. It is a sister site to GovDeals and GovPlanet, which Liquidity Services also runs. The split is roughly by inventory. GovDeals carries state and local surplus, GovPlanet carries heavy equipment and vehicles, and GovLiquidation carries the broader DLA and DoD material. The live auctions below are the DLA and military surplus BidProwl tracks across the Liquidity Services network. Bidding works like any timed online auction: you register, place a bid, and the highest bid when the clock runs out wins. Everything sells as-is, so read the condition notes and, for anything large, plan on in-person pickup from the holding facility. New to it? Watch a few auctions in your state first to learn what conditions and prices look like before you commit. Removal deadlines run tight, usually 7 to 10 days after payment, and storage fees pile up fast once you miss one.

Check the auction terms before bidding to understand payment deadlines and any fees that may apply.
How do pickup and shipping work for items I win?
Pickup and shipping arrangements vary by item. Many lots are located at government facilities and require buyer pickup during specified times. You'll be responsible for removing the item and arranging transportation. Some auctions offer shipping options, but you typically pay shipping fees separately. Large items like vehicles or industrial equipment usually require pickup. Always check the auction listing for location details and any pickup deadlines, as these are usually firm.
