The Government of the United States as an auctioneer
Move over, eBay! The government is on your side! As competitors is that!
By chance I came across a website that lists auctions (some online) and take bids for various vehicles seized by the authorities. Curious, google for "Government Auctions" and was amazed at what was coming. Auction-style fans and bargain hunters, you should check these sites.
U.S. Department of Treasury
The homepage of the U.S. Department of Treasury / Real TakenReal estate auctions reads: "From the ordinary extraordinary … our auctions, which have all". Wow The Treasury has to be a writer for the rent of this auction site! It 'very interesting – at least compared to the bland auction sites to publish some of the other departments.
The Treasury Department seized real estate auctions in the United States and Puerto Rico. Elements include homes, commercial buildings, vacant land and condominiums. ProceedsSales go to assist law enforcement authorities and would return for the victims.
Oh, I said that happens, the seizure by the IRS – Criminal Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U. S. Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives? "Most of the property," reads the FAQ, is "arrested for smuggling, drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud by credit card, food stamp fraud, mail fraud or other unlawful activity." Is it just me, or any othernot too keen on living conditions is one in a home recently by a gang of outlaw bikers?
If this does not worry, you can place your bid in three points. You can post available at the auction, the offer by mail, electronically or offer. Electronic tendering will be available for auction selected. If you win your bid to be ready to pay cash, please. The government does not provide financial services.
The U.S. Postal Service – not only for stamps Anymore
Have you ever wondered what happens to the corrupt, unused, andArticle outstanding claims, pushes the U. S. Postal Service? It seems the auction ended!
Is not about online auctions, but the site posts the date, location and schedule a preview for the examination of goods. At that time I wrote this, was planned several auctions. Perhaps you can find that long lost birthday present!
IRS Auctions
The bad news is that the IRS seizes your property and other valuables, if you do not pay taxes. The good news is that you can buyreturn on IRS auctions.
According to the website of the IRS does not maintain a mailing list on their auctions, but uses the web page instead. When I checked, there were about auctions for a number of buildings (commercial and non commercial), currencies and precious metals, stocks, antiques, art, jewelry, collectibles and luxury items, cars, motorcycles and trucks , business opportunities turnkey, and firearms.
Want to buy a really strongSailboat for? The auction starts at $ 6,000.74. You must also pay a $ 2600 for docking and storage. Oh, and you must move from Ohio, unless you happen to live in Cleveland. You can e-mail, download the forms for the offer.
U.S. Government Surplus Auctions
The Heads of State and Local Surplus Property Website link for the auction surplus for many, if not all of the United States. The sale of products represented federal and state surplus property.
Under the linkCalifornia surplus auctions, you will find detailed program information and news about upcoming auctions and a link to the auction house. Additional private auctioneer listing on the website three days before the auction. (There are no ads on the day I visited the page.)
Government Liquidation
The site of the wound of government is an online market for the sale of U.S. surplus and scrap,Public. It supports more than 500 product categories and thousands of surplus items are every week.
"Whether you are starting a new business or expanding an existing one, GL owners of small businesses and consumers, offers the possibility to realize their dreams of cost," says the site, ironically.
Categories include aircraft parts, audio and video equipment, boats, computers, construction machinery, electrical equipment, industrial equipment, machinery, material handlingEquipment, medical and dental equipment, scrap metal, plumbing, testing equipment, and trucks and related equipment. Auctions during the day I visited a dental chair includes a unit of X-ray, a utility boat, a 5-ton truck tractor, a furnace, and much more.

Ministry of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program
According to the website of the Department ofJustice Asset Forfeiture Program, administered by the United States Marshals Service, manages and provides articles seized by federal law and enforcement agencies and lawyers in the United States to forfeit the national level.
When I visited which are planned in the city, a series of auctions current assets (all property) for the months of June and July. The site also links to a national sellers list – a list of institutions and organizations that are authorized to sell the products in the U.S. Marshals seizedService. A list of personal property, real estate, cars, boats, business directory, art, jewelry, antiques and collectibles.
GSA Fleet Vehicle Sales
"There is a great value to our goal," says the organization. According to the FAQ, GSA Fleet Vehicle Sales, will sell about 35,000 vehicles this year. Most vehicles will be from April to September, when most of the leases run available, but implemented in the entire saleyear.
This site sells vehicles after the expiry of the leases used, not to sell the vehicles seized. If you have bid, will be shown in the appendix on the day of the auction, in which the agent receives a number of the auction. You can start the vehicle to check the engine and air conditioning, but are not allowed to take for a ride.
Defense Reuse and Marketing Service
Searching for used military goods? Go to the DRMS Web site to offer. DRMS has a heritage of morereceived from military service. The stock changes daily and includes thousands of products, from air conditioners for cars, clothing, computers and much more.
Under the ownership of the site is to be first offered for reuse within the Department of Defense, and then transferred to other local government or donated to state and local governments. Excess property that is not re-transferred, donated or sold to the public as surplus
