Common questions about government auctions
What is a government auction?
Government agencies — federal, state and local — regularly auction property they have seized (through law enforcement, customs or tax actions) or no longer need (surplus vehicles, equipment and supplies). These auctions are open to the public and goods often sell below market value.
