We have sold numerous things on Municibid, from large equipment to very small equipment, to things we didn’t really think people would want to buy. Municibid was able to reach an audience that allowed us to sell every item. The best thing that happened to us this year was the introduction of the Municibid app. It allows us to go out in the field with a cell phone or iPad and create and post the listing from there.

Villisca, a city in Montgomery County, Iowa, was incorporated on January 6, 1868, according to the Iowa Secretary of State's list of incorporated cities. Today, it's home to 1,106 residents, per the U.S. Census, and operates under a mayor-council form of government. The city maintains its own public works function, led by a public works director, and supports community life through a public library.
Villisca is also known beyond its borders as the site of the Villisca axe murder house, tied to the unsolved 1912 murders that remain part of the town's history. That landmark draws visitors curious about the case, while the city itself continues on as a small, self-governed Iowa community with its own local services and institutions.
