Just about everyday the government agencies across the country seize all manner of personal property because of foreclosure, tax evasion, and criminal activities. These government agencies recover much of their costs for performing these seizures and the associated administrative costs by auctioning off these properties at highly discounted prices.

So how does one of these online government auctions work? Much like a regular auction with the one exception that you do not have to attend in person. The online auction is a relatively new phenomenon but government agencies across the country have seized upon this idea simply for the fact that it reduces the costs. These savings are then passed onto the auction participants in even lower prices for the good offered.

The advantage of using an online auction service for those who wish to participate is the ease of looking through the items being offered, doing research on those items and ultimately bidding from the comfort of home. Winning the auction is much like attending one in person, to the highest bidder goes the spoils. Most of these auctions do have a reserve prices set for each item. This is to ensure that at the least all the administrative costs of the auction are met.

If you have never participated in a free government auction then you are missing out on a lot of really good deals on seized and surplus properties. These auctions are free to the general public and only require that you are at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. There is no cost to participate in these auctions; that is until you make a winning bid.

There are two types of government auctions; the seized property auction and the government surplus property auction. The types of items up for auction at these two types are different because of where they come from but you will find great deals at either type. You will also find auctions that combine a mixture of the two making for a better cross section of stuff to choose from.

A surplus auction is basically an auction of the stuff that federal, state, and local governmental agencies no longer want or need. These aren’t really high end items like you might find at a seizure or repo auction but it is in good shape and can be had for pennies on the dollar. You will find cars, trucks, boats, office supplies and furniture, computers, and in some instances even aircraft.  Read more...

You may have just earned your driving license. Or maybe just learning how to drive and can hardly wait for that very first car.

You may be a new couple starting out on your own. Or maybe a student leaving your house for the first time to start dormitory life at college. Or maybe you are just a bargain hunter who never tire of finding that great deal or one great buy that you will always cherish for the rest of your life.

You may just be car enthusiast who just wants to collect cars. Whatever group you come from, the surest way to save money and make value for money purchases is to attend government car auctions.

It is important to remember that cars sold at government car auctions sell far less than the brand new ones and even less than the ones bought at second hand car shops.

The cost of acquiring a car from the government can be up to ninety percent less than a brand new unit. The reason why these cars can be sold so cheap is because the longer the car is stored in inventory the higher the costs it would incur.  Read more...

Every year federal, state, and local government agencies find themselves with surplus goods that they no longer need. To get rid of this excess stuff they offer it at government surplus sales and auctions at big discounts. These sales and auctions are full of the same items you’ll find at any retail store with the only difference being price.

These surplus auction sales can be a great place to find office supplies for new and growing businesses. You can also find household items that you can use around the house. These sales can also be a good place to buy surplus items at a big discount that can then be sold at a profit on auctions sites like eBay.

All government surplus auctions and sales are free to the general public. As long as you are 18 years of age or older and have a valid drivers license. You will of course need money as well if you wish to purchase or bid on anything.

So why does the government have all this surplus it needs to get rid of ever year? The simple answer is that all these government agencies, from federal to local, buy billions of dollars worth of equipment, supplies, and sundries every year. This leaves these agencies with lots of older, slightly used, goods that still have a useful life outside of government use. Buy selling these items at surplus sales or auctions the government is able recover some of the cost and save the American taxpayer some money.  Read more...
