Did you know: Our agency occasionally sells abandoned property. After trying to locate the original owner(s), we post notices in public places and publish them in newspapers before the items are auctioned to the public in accordance with Wyoming law. As such, we have no history on any these vehicles and most those those auctioned have no keys. All vehicles auctioned as-is, with no warranties expressed or implied. We reserve the right to reject any or all bids.

Pickup for auctioned vehicles is by Fri., Sept. 8, 2023 during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; cash-only payment.
