I think the good deals at municipal auctions have gone the way of the dodo bird (at least out here anyway). When I was younger you could get the vehicles for dirt cheap at municipal auctions, our high school parking lot would be full of old police cars, ambulances, trucks etc. after the local auction, but now they're getting top dollar. I haven't seen or heard of a municipal auction out here for along time, I think municipalities are trading them in or selling them individually. Here in Illinois there's a website for municipalities that has classifieds for municipal vehicles and "stuff" for sale, and the prices aren't to bad. I looked on the site and there was a link to the Kansas Municipal league site and I think there is a dump truck. Do searches for municipal vehicles for sale not auctions and you might find some. Here are some links:

You may want to look into the GSA (General Service Administration) fleet auctions. I've seen a couple of dump trucks there and I've bought three cars including the one I drive now, ex-naval base patrol Impala.

There's an auction coming up on the 21st in Springfield and there's a '90 Navistar 4700 dump truck to be auctioned off.
