"The City of Wichita is very satisfied with the results of a total of 13 auctions grossing over $1.6 million with Purple Wave. I’ve done a comparison cost between the City of Wichita live auctions and online auctions. We do receive a higher price for the items on the online auctions."
Shari Shockey, City of Wichita CPPB Buyer
"The State of Kansas has seen a large increase in the net revenue received from the seizure auctions. I attribute this increase entirely to Purple Wave due to their Internet format, professional staff and positive customer service attitude."
Darci Hamilton, Enforcement Agent
Kansas Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control Division
"The Facilities Operations Department at the University of Kansas has used Purple Wave Auction service since March 2006 to dispose of surplus vehicles, furniture, tools and equipment. The eight auctions conducted to date have generated over $180,000 in net return to the university.... Purple Wave is well-known and their website has a considerable customer base which results in the university receiving fair market value and above for most items sold."
