Government Auction Website Recommendations



Hundreds of "government auction" websites have appeared in the past year, claiming to offer direct access to directories and databases of when & where each government auction in the U.S. takes place - even those that are not advertised. Unfortunately, most of these websites only have one intent - making you pay to become a member of their website just so they can supposedly tell you where to go on the internet to find current and upcoming auctions in your area. But all they actually do is provide you with a list of useless links to websites that no longer exist, or other companies that want you to pay more money to join their website as well!

Most of these websites will charge you a $30-$40 fee for access to their directory of government auction sources. But in reality, 99% of these websites offer you nothing more than the following:

  • Outdated or non-working links, phone numbers, & email addresses.

  • No customer service or help in locating auctions.

  • No refunds if you are unsatisfied - Most of these fly-by-night websites won't even respond to your refund requests, and once their website gets shut down due to complaints, they start another one under a different name.

  • Poorly designed sites with confusing navigation systems and information, and non-working pages.

Its a shame that this is happening, because there are actually legitimate auctions taking place where people can bid on real estate, autos, jewelry, furniture, electronics, and firearms at 50%-75% off. Government agencies regularly seize vehicles and personal property from criminals, such as drug dealers, or people who have been convicted of tax evasion. Since the government is not in the business of trying to run a profitable store, they want to liquidate these things as quickly as possible.

As a watchdog for work at home scam's and related things, we have thoroughly reviewed hundreds of government auction websites, talking to their owners, reviewing their member's areas, and speaking to many of their customers. Based on our research, as of June 2005, we can only recommend the 4 government auction websites out of the hundreds we've visited, as they have proven to be legitimate sources for quality auction information. These companies all require a one time fee of $30-$35, and they charge this fee because they actually have dedicated representatives to help you find nearby auctions as well as others that may have what you are looking for, including unadvertised online auctions. (Here's a hint: join one of the sites below, check out their auction listings in your area and make a note of them. Then ask for a refund of your membership fee based on their no questions asked money back guarantee. Then go ahead and attend the auctions you noted. If you find that they were worthwhile, you can always rejoin the site later. This way, you've got nothing to lose. (You didn't hear that from us!)


After joining the sites below, you should expect to receive information on over 10 nearby government auctions taking place in your relative area in the next 30 days. Not only do they list when and where the auctions take place, but also what merchandise will be available. That way, you can see if there will be anything you are interested in ahead of time. Once at the auction, you can also view the items up close before the bidding starts, to get a better view of what exactly you are bidding on.

Its important to note that using the websites below, I went and attended a couple of nearby auctions listed on their sites. I was surprised to see only a handful of people in attendance, and items were selling for ridiculously low prices. I actually attended an auction with only 3 other bidders present. I was able to walk through prior to the auction to look at everything being sold. There were pallets of merchandise, seized vehicles, furniture, jewelry, and more. One thing that came to mind was that I could buy some of this merchandise cheaply and then resell it on eBay for nice profits. There were literally cars for sale for $600. And most were in excellent condition!

Whatever your reason is for attending, these auctions offer a wide range of quality items at huge discounts.
