LotSeekr Auction Results — Q3 2026

Winning bids by category

The dot is the median winning bid; the bar spans the middle half (25th–75th percentile). Log scale.

Same category, different country — read with care

Median winning bid in the same category across countries (groups with at least 200 results). Differences mainly reflect what the covered houses sell — e.g. a leasing house selling nearly new cars versus a house selling trailers and parts — not what the same item costs.

† More than 50% of the results come from a single house: the figure describes that house’s mix and is not representative of the country.

By country — our coverage, not national price levels

Each country’s figures come from the few auction houses LotSeekr covers there, so they mostly reflect what those houses sell. "Largest house" is the share of the country’s results from its biggest house.

Methodology

• A result is a lot that ended during the quarter with at least one bid and a positive price. A price on a lot with no bids is the starting price and is never counted.
• Only verified final bids: LotSeekr last checked the price within 10 minutes of the close. 54,730 results checked earlier than that were left out.
• Amounts are in euros, converted at the exchange rate of the last price check. Buyer’s premium and VAT are not included.
• Outliers: a bid above 50× the 99th percentile of its category is treated as a data error (source mistakes, prank bids) and excluded — 8 this quarter.
• Bid rate is the share of the quarter’s ended lots that received at least one bid; sealed tenders, which never show bids, are excluded from it. Groups with fewer than 200 results are not shown.
• Country figures depend on which auction houses are covered. In Austria nearly all results come from one platform selling many low-value single items, which pulls its medians down.
• De-duplicated: several platforms list the same lot on more than one site (Troostwijk, Vavato and Surplex; Dam Online and Industrial Auctions). A lot with the same id and closing minute is counted once — 132,938 duplicate listings removed.
• These are winning bids, not confirmed sales: where a house uses reserve prices, some lots end unsold when the reserve is not met, and LotSeekr cannot see that.
• This is a summary of one quarter, not a price index: there is no fixed basket of goods and the houses we cover change over time, so editions are not directly comparable.
• The verified-bid rule under-represents houses whose final prices are checked less often: Auktionshuset Sonderjylland (5%), Clicpublic (21%), Livebid (32%), Online Auctions BE (33%), PS Auction (41%), PKO Leasing (46%), British Medical Auctions (70%), Poleasingowe.pl (72%) (share of their results that could be verified).
