Post Description

I posted govauctions.app (which aggregates government auctions) back in April and got a lot of helpful feedback and suggestions. I was encouraged to keep working on the site, which now has a growing base of active users and paying customers who find it useful. So thank you for the support.

I've spent the last couple of months increasing auction coverage inside and beyond the US, improving data accuracy, and building paid features for serious buyers. Most visitors are just curious about the unusual stuff you can buy from the government, but serious customers care about coverage, sales comps and margins - so I've been spending time trying to make those robust.

I also maintain a 'research & data' section (https://govauctions.app/research) with market information like median sales prices over time, and have made some of the data publicly accessible as an open dataset.

So far: - Around 100k visitors. - More than 200k auctions processed. - 1 friend who bought a boat he found on the site.

Hope you like the updates - I welcome any thoughts and advice.
