We will be having an online firearm auction starting at 9:00 AM EST, Monday, 11/16/2026, and ending at 9:00 AM Monday, 11/30/2026.

A lot list and video of the firearms up for auction will be available in the near future.

Every year, the West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office Law Enforcement Unclaimed Property Program hosts both online and in-person firearm auctions that generate tens of thousands of dollars for local law enforcement agencies. The firearms available for auction are considered abandoned and remitted by law enforcement agencies annually to the Treasurer’s Office Law Enforcement Unclaimed Property Program, in accordance with state law. A wide variety of quality firearms are available in each auction.

The proceeds from the auctions are returned to the remitting West Virginia law enforcement agencies. Funds generated from this program have become instrumental in equipping West Virginia law enforcement agencies with safety gear, personal body armor, and other needed resources.

These auctions are professionally managed and are restricted to Licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) Holders.

All FFL Holders are required to register prior to participating in either our online or in-person auctions.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact Jessica Wines at jessica.wines@wvsto.gov or call 304.340.5027.
