About GovernmentAuctions.org®

The authoritative, independent guide to U.S. & Canadian government auctions, seized & surplus property, and foreclosures — trusted by more than 170,000 members.

Who we are

GovernmentAuctions.org® is a membership website that helps people find, locate and attend government auctions and foreclosures of every type — so they can buy things they would ordinarily pay retail prices for at a significant discount. Every day, federal, state and local agencies sell seized, surplus and forfeited property: vehicles, electronics, jewelry, equipment, real estate and much more. Our job is to gather those scattered opportunities into one organized, searchable place.

What we're not

We are not a government agency and we don't sell the items ourselves. We are an independent, privately owned research and information service. When you find an auction or property through us, you deal directly with the government agency, court or trustee conducting the sale — with no middleman markup.

What members get

  • A frequently updated database of live and online government auctions across all 50 states and Canada
  • Seized & surplus vehicles — cars, trucks, motorcycles and fleet vehicles, searchable by ZIP code and radius
  • Keyword item search across thousands of auction lots — electronics, jewelry, tools, equipment and more
  • Foreclosures & pre-foreclosures with addresses, maps and contacts
  • Auction dates, exact locations, contacts, sale links, tutorials and price guides
