IronPlanet to Donate Portion of Proceeds to Fisher House Foundation

Is it too soon to start talking about shopping for a cause? Not when the shopping is about Humvees, and the cause is Fisher House. But first, IronPlanet wants to introduce you to Eric McElvenny - former U.S. Marine Captain stationed in Afghanistan, devoted husband and father, beloved son, and Ironman athlete.

On December 9, 2011, Eric stepped on an IED in the tiny village of Now Zad in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of his right leg below the knee. He was treated overseas and transported to the Navy Medical Center in San Diego, near his home, for rehabilitation. His parents and a sister flew from Pennsylvania and stayed at a Fisher House during the weeks of his recovery.

Fisher House is a non-profit organization that operates comfort homes where families of military vets can stay free of charge while their loved ones receive treatment. The homes are built at military and VA medical centers across the country and gifted to the government.

PLEASANTON, Calif. – IronPlanet^®, a leading online marketplace for selling and buying used equipment and other durable assets, today announced IronPlanet^® LiveStream^TM the next generation in online bidding for live on-site auctions. IronPlanet LiveStream builds on IronPlanet’s leading online technology with new live on-site auction features for buyers who need to stay in the field, on the job, or who prefer the convenience of buying online.

You don't want to be seen in one of those inadequate, wimpy civilian Humvees, especially when buying the real deal is so easy. On September 13 you can purchase your own High Mobility Multi­purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), decommissioned straight from the Department of Defense. This is your opportunity to own a little piece of military history, built in America for American troops.

Go to GovPlanet's earth-shaking selection of Humvees up for auction on Tuesday, September 13. We've got hundreds of them, including a 1999 AM General M1123 Humvee HMMWV with 25 miles, among many other of these late-model M1123s with hard doors & hard tops, and tons (literally) of AM General M998 Humvees.

Owning a Humvee will be the most memorable used car experience you can have - just ask Arnold. Nicely.

Don't say "hasta la vista baby" after September 13. You'll be back for GovPlanet's September 14 Government Surplus auction featuring generators, trucks, and portable structures; then the September 15  Pump and Power Auction with fuel transfer pumps, water pumps, and more.

 BUT FOR NOW...
