Show HN: GovAuctions lets you browse government auctions at once
I've long been into finding deals on government auction sites (seizures, surplus sales etc.) - right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯<p>It has historically been extremely tedious though: scanning dozens of janky sites which have interminable page loading times; back buttons take you all the way back to the homepage etc.<p>The site I built - GovAuctions - lets you search every government surplus auction at once. 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.<p>Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, and if you find any deals in your area!
GovAuctions solves a legitimate accessibility problem in the fragmented government surplus market, evidenced by strong initial community engagement on Hacker News. While the product provides immediate utility, the venture potential is currently limited by an unknown team profile and the lack of a clear defensive moat against data scraping or established auction platforms.
