Making Money in Government Auctions by Chris Chamberlain

To most people, these sales go practically unnoticed. The reason being is that most people have absolutely NO IDEA where to begin when trying to locate these deals. And that's GOOD NEWS for you!
The fact that most people aren't aware of these sales is an INCREDIBLE opportunity for you to capitalize. The simple truth is this. The US Government could really care less whether they get fair market value for these items or not...they just need to MOVE THEM NOW!
Now there are really two types of auctions that you can participate in. The first type are those that require you to go in-person to view and bid on the items. Many government auctions are like this. Yes, it's a pain to have to register and then travel to bid on items but trust me...IT IS WORTH IT. If you only do it once, you owe it to yourself to do this once. Most people won't travel to an auction and for this reason you can find some UNBELIEVABLE bargains. The good news is that there are a TON of government auctions online and more are coming on every year. Visit http://themoneyhacker.com for more or check out these links below:
The United States Treasury and the IRS are the first two places you should checkout - both have great auctions online. I visit each one almost daily... (For direct links to all these sites you can find a copy of this article at themoneyhacker.com)
Here are some of my other favorite sites:
General Services Administration : The GSA is a pretty good site for autos and other "miscellaneous" stuff. You won't find too much in the way of jewelry or electronics here but, in addition to vehicles, there are things from bankrupted businesses like printers, office chairs, medical equipment, gas grills, etc....you get the idea. I still recommend checking them out though, because for many of these items you'll be the only bidder. I know someone who bought a working firetruck from a Massachussets Fire Dept. for $5000 for a large ranch they owned.
GovSales.com : This is another good site for government auctions. This site has alot of vehicles - mostly Dodge and Chevys...most of them with no bids at all. This site has some great electronics...digital cameras for as low as $15. Definitely worth checking out.
US Marshall's Service : This site tends to have a lot of real estate for sale (at great prices). Also, you can see who you're getting this stuff from here....
USAGov.com : Great links to each states' auctions. It varies by state but there are definitely some interesting items available.
AAACloseouts.com : Hunting & Fishing merchandise only.
These sites should give you a good start into getting some great bargains online. For more good articles on government auctions and other wealth building secrets check out themoneyhacker.com

Cheap Used Vehicles From Government Auctions
Cheap Used Vehicles From Government Auctions
23rd October 2006
Author: Anthony Lee
Do you know that there is such a thing as auctions provided by the government and one that sells used vehicles?Believe it or not, the government as well as the country's various law enforcement groups and departments regularly capture and seize possessions from criminals. This includes cars, and what the government does is auction these all off.The fact of the matter is that such auctions are very real. They are actually conducted almost every day in many parts of the country so that the public could participate and attend in, however a lot of people do not know that such government auctions exist.Government used vehicle auctions are held regularly (either quarterly, monthly, annually) at a specific location. Newspapers both national and local have details and listings of these government auctions.When in car auctions, it is best that you have an idea of the specific car you want. Know just how much it costs, research on its history.Using the used vehicle's identification number and all the info you could gather on its mileage is one way.It is also a good idea if a mechanic inspects the vehicle first, or you could inspect the car yourself.Fortunately, a lot of auctions have a period in which they allow bidders to preview the vehicles before actually bidding. However, the vehicles are not allowed to be driven. There are also no guarantees and warranties, just like when buying from a used-car salesman.If the vehicle you like is in good condition and is also popular, expect to bid up usually beyond the vehicle's actual value. It is important to take into consideration that you should try not to overpay. It is best to go for older vehicles that are a bit less perfect.All in all, when in government used vehicle auctions, always be prepared to lose and win. Be also ready to pay up within the period set up by the government auction.For listings of government vehicle auctions, please visit http://www.buy-cheap-cars.info/.

Seized Automobiles Auctions by S. Tanna

When you buy your next automobile, SUV or truck, who wouldn't want to find a way to save money? One particular idea that may indeed help is to look at auctions of confiscated, seized, repossessed and retired motor vehicles. There are many excellent bargains that you can find at these types of auctions, and if you're lucky you may well find a really nice vehicle being sold at a price considerably below its book value.
It should be said that the reasons why these auctions are held, as well as the types of the vehicles being sold, do in fact vary widely. Additionally, the vehicles may be being sold from any one of a number of different sources: police, sheriffs, government agencies (including both federal and state governments), as well as by banks and financial institutions.
The vehicles can have a number of different backgrounds:
1. Government and law enforcement agencies do sometimes confiscate vehicles from criminals. Such vehicles are often relatively new and may include high-end models. If you're looking for a top of the range car at an affordable price - this could be an excellent option for you!
2. A large number of cars are retired from government service each year. While it's true that the vehicles are not new, and may have quite a few miles on the clock, such vehicles are usually well maintained. In many cases these vehicles also come with full service histories.
3. A lot of people take out loans when buying a car, but are unable to keep up the repayments. As a result, banks and financial institutions then repossess these vehicles, and since they have no particular interest in keeping them, put them up for auction.
