On this ladies-only Municibid Monday, Sophie and Jackie set sail with a 1983 Seafarer sailboat that was sitting at just $100 when they found it. With summer around the corner, they discuss its potential as a starter boat, a restoration project, or even a unique Airbnb rental.

This episode features active auctions worth watching, including a 2021 Ford Transit cargo van, a 2014 Chevrolet 3500 ambulance, a 2009 Harley-Davidson Police Electra Glide, a 2020 Bobcat mini excavator, and a 2005 Mack Granite dump truck.

Plus, the team recaps notable sales from the past week, including a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, a lightweight maintenance enclosure, a 2010 John Deere tractor with a Tiger boom mower, and a 1986 AM General Hummer.

Rounding out the episode: a practical explanation of how proxy bidding works on Municibid, why bidders may be instantly outbid, and how adding a few extra dollars to a proxy bid is a great winning strategy.
