Already one of the industry's most anticipated events of 2016, IronPlanet's Cat Auction Services annual Florida auction will be the largest in its history. The Humvees will be auctioned one on each day from Tuesday February 9 through Thursday February 11, at approximately noon ET. The Humvees are available online to preview now and also on site:
