The 2024 Govvies contenders did not disappoint! The competition was tough, with our first-ever tie between competing items, leaving the final round of voting with five standout items! Voters got to choose between...
Grabbing life by the horns, with a Lifesize Bull
Getting a serious high kick from Po the Kung Fu Panda
Create their own Dunder Mifflin Paper Company inside the Historic Wainwright State Office Building
or feeling like David Hasselhoff in Baywatch with this 1955 Willys Kaiser Jeep.
This year, voters overwhelmingly chose a fascinating Boeing 727 Jet as the standout winner. This aircraft was previously used as a prison transport aircraft, shuttling inmates across various locations. While the new owner will never be able to "Fly Like An Eagle" since it is no longer considered airworthy, so much is still possible. The jet was sold stripped of its original fittings with an almost empty interior. This unique aircraft captivated interest, making it a memorable and deserving winner.
From peculiar to mundane, the Govvies is always the Battle of the Bizarre, showcasing the extraordinary array of items on GovDeals that defy expectations and cause a good laugh. Each year, this competition brings together a collection of the most unusual and captivating auctions, offering a glimpse into the world of surplus.
With hundreds of auctions added daily, there's no telling what next year's competition will bring, check out our live auctions! You never know what you will find.
