Methodology
A sale is a lot that an auction site reports as sold with a winning bid above zero. A sale belongs to the month its auction closed, in UTC. When a site gives no closing time, FleetBid uses the time it last saw the lot.
Prices are winning bids as each auction site reported them. FleetBid does not add or adjust for buyer's premiums, taxes or fees, which vary by auction.
Medians appear for groups, categories and states with at least 5 sales in the month. Top makes and models are counted across all categories. Total reported winning bids add up the winning bids of every sale in the month.
Auction sites with sales in this month, with their sale counts: Auctions International (911), Michigan MiBid (48) and GovDeals (14). A site with no sales in the month is not part of the report.
