About GovAuctions

I built GovAuctions because I was tired of checking five different government auction websites every day, each with a terrible interface from 2005. There had to be a better way!

GovAuctions lets you search every government surplus auction at once. GSA Auctions, GovDeals, Public Surplus, PropertyRoom — all in one feed. You can filter by location, category, and price, save items to a watchlist, and get alerts when new auctions match what you're looking for.

Every listing links directly to the auction platform. We don't handle bidding, payments, or pickup — we just help you find the deals.

Who is this for?

• Small businesses looking for equipment, furniture, or vehicles at a fraction of retail
• Resellers and flippers who source inventory from government surplus
• Bargain hunters looking for their next car, tools, or electronics
• Enthusiasts — military surplus collectors, homelab builders, makers

Is this free?

Yes. Browsing, searching, saving, and filtering are all free with no account required. We offer optional paid alerts ($7/month) if you want to get emailed when specific auctions are listed.

This isn't a business

I built this as a passion project. There are millions of dollars in government surplus sold every year, and the tools available to find them haven't been updated in decades. I wanted to build something better and give it to the community, and the paid service essentially helps me pay for the overhead.

If you find it useful and want to support the project, you can also buy me a coffee rather than subscribing. It helps cover hosting costs, motivates me to keep improving the app, and I love hearing from users.
