Hi, we're going to let you in on the secret to buying homes, cars,
boats, airplanes, motorcycles – even furniture, designer clothes and
jewelry for waaay below the normal price. The property available for
public bidding at government auctions is often surplus goods the
government no longer needs or confiscated as evidence in criminal
cases. Since government auctions are not well publicized, insiders can
buy goods for pennies on the dollar.
You can get your share of the Billions of dollars worth of items and property that are auctioned off throughout the country by local, state, and federal agencies every year! Be the first in your area to find out where and when these amazing auctions are happening and save thousands of dollars on everything from cars to property and even jewelry. Get the inside track on auctions throughout the country.
When the government auctions off property, all closing bids are final. Many people attending government auctions for the first time can’t believe the prices! Everything you buy at the auction is yours to keep – no strings attached. With prices this low, it feels like your stealing it – only it is yours to legally keep, courtesy of the government. If you have champagne taste but a beer budget, attend a government auction. Rolex brands have sold for Timex prices. Why buy a Ford when you can buy a Mercedes for the same price? Traveling? Put away your checkbook at the discount luggage store. Go to a government auction and spend the same money for Louis Vuitton or COACH! You never know what a government auction will have, but it can always be yours for a price well below fair market value. Start living the good life today – find the auctions most likely to have the designer goods you want here.
If you can hold up a bidding number, you can win at a government auction. Of course, with any auction, you will want to inspect the items you are interested in buying before the bidding begins. If you are interested in a computer, but could not turn it on to see if it worked, how much would a non-working computer be worth to you? Since all sales are final, there are no returns. Avoid disappointment, and don't bid on anything you can’t personally inspect. Government auctions provide amazing values, but don’t lose your common sense in all the excitement. Know how much the items, cars or property is worth before the auction begins, and your experience at the government auction will be a positive one.
We signed up with the 18 most popular membership sites. Then we looked at the following categories:
Thats what this site is for: We've combed through almost every one of the sites to find out which ones give you the best listings, best information, and WONT RIP YOU OFF!
This no-nonsense, state-of-the-art site is updated frequently and is the best we have ever seen. Gov Auctions is a quality website offering a listing of government auctions in the United States. The members area offers some nicely organized features, but Gov Auctions definately has the largest an most up-to-date listings of government and police auctions, tax sales, repossessions, impounded cars, DEA/FBI/IRS siezures. It also has excellent customer service... you just can't go wrong with Gov Auctions. The only thing that may let the site down a little is that they don't advertise much on their front page - you really have to sign up to the service to see everything. They have a low intro rate to sign up and if you don't like what you see you can cancel at any time.
Gov Auctions is a legit site that's updated frequently and has great listings for almost all areas. It also has a great intro sign-up rate
CheapCarHunter.com is one of the very few sites that also scored high in all areas. It is extrememly well designed, the content well organized and navigation very intuitive. The database offers literally thousands of auctions on behalf of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.The only reason they did not get a full 5-star rating is that if focuses primairly on cars, rather than jewelry and property. We felt that they didn't have all the extra "value-add" information that made Gov-Auctions.org such a great site.
Great site that's frequently updated, but has a focus towards repossesed vehicles rather than cars, property and jewelry like the other two sites.
AuctionsPass is a site that is slightly different to the other two. It is similar to ebay where you can make online bids on items that are for sale. These items have been purchased from a government auction by the website owners. We feel that you would save a greater amount of money and get a better deal if you visited the government auctions yourself and then you would be bidding against other people who may want to resell items on their website - you then don't have to pay their additional commission.
It is a good choice if you cannot physically travel to the auctions listed on the other webites, but you may find that due to competition online you may even get a better deal on ebay.
There is a good variety of cars on the website and you can get some great deals. You may be able to get better deals from the other webites listed above though!
