The Basics of Government Auctions
A government auction is a good place to buy quality or unusual merchandise at a bargain. Government auctions take place continually, both online and in different parts of the country. Information on all government auctions can be found at Firtgov.gov. This is billed as being the official United States government portal. It contains information on all federal, state and local government auctions. What do governments have to sell at auction? They sell surplus goods and seized and forfeited property at auction. Surplus goods are goods that the government bought and no longer needs. This can include anything from office furniture and office equipment to telemetry guidance systems and Coast Guard boats. Forfeited property can consist of houses that had a federally guaranteed mortgage that the owner defaulted on. When the mortgage is foreclosed on, the house is sold at auction. Seized property is property that criminals owned and purchased with money earned from the commission of crime. This can include houses, boats, cards, planes, artwork, jewelry, various personal belongings, etc. When the government seizes this property, it sells it at auction to the highest bidder.
