Purple Wave is a no-reserve online auction marketplace strong in the Midwest and Plains, and a major outlet for government surplus from cities, counties, state DOTs, school districts, and municipal road/fire departments. We list only its government-consigned lots - fleet pickups and vehicles, construction and ag equipment, trailers, and shop tools - filtered out of its broader mix of private contractor and farm consignments. Each lot is a timed auction with pickup at the selling agency. Every listing links back to bid on purplewave.com- GovAuctions doesn't sit between you and the seller.Last updated: 2026-07-17
