I place low, yet reasonable reasonable bids on vehicles for sale on government auction sites and wait to receive the “you have been outbid,” notification.
My $550 bid on the 2001 ram (work truck, 3.9/auto with 275k miles) didn’t get surpassed until 10 minutes before it closed.

Is it proxy bidding like ebay, or if you bid $550 you’ll pay $550 no matter what?
Because if so, I’d be enticed to bid $750...

It’s a proxy bid system like eBay. I never bid more than I have in the bank and I don’t bid on non-runners. If I do wind up winning something then I can either keep or sell.

While I don’t bid, I always haunt the Canadian version of this. They use it to flog shit the border guards have seized as well.
I think we all need to buy this cute 1987 Aircraft Mule as the official Oppo mascot.

Honestly, winning a Ranger wouldn’t be too bad. You can do all sorts of fun things with them.

There will always be auction snipers. Your gambling is dangerous, though.

Did you know Goodwill runs an ebay-style site (shopgoodwill.com) where you can bid on inventory nationwide?
