Purple Wave RV auctions
Purple Wave sells lots consigned by many independent auction houses and dealers, from fleet trucks to motorhomes. Kansas / Missouri / Oklahoma / Texas — no-reserve government and fleet RVs. RVBidFind reads its public listings and values every rig against recent sales of the same model.
Fees
Each auctioneer sets its own buyer premium (often 10–18%) and may add an internet-bidding surcharge. The lot terms govern.
No-reserve auctions with a 10% buyer premium (capped per lot) — confirm on the lot.
How to register and bid
One account covers every auctioneer on the platform; some houses require approval or a deposit for vehicle lots.
Preview and inspection
Preview arrangements are set per auction — the catalogue names the yard and the hours.
Payment and pickup
Terms vary by auctioneer; invoices come from the house, not the platform.
