A British Colombia man stands accused of stealing nearly $100,000 from a phony online car auction.

What are seized properties and why are they so cheap?

A seized property is when the owners fail to pay the mortgage on their home and the lender repossesses it in a process called foreclosure. Banks, private lenders and the government foreclose on hundreds of thousands of homes every year and conduct public seized property auctions in an attempt to recover some of the money.

What types of seized properties are in the auction?

Virtually any type of real estate can be auctioned off: single-family houses, multi-unit houses, apartments/townhouses, commercial properties, mobile homes, land, timeshares, vacation and rental properties.

Is it possible to get financing when buying a seized property at auction?

Yes, you get access to a wide variety of financial institutions that specialize in providing mortgages for seized properties.

What kind of prices are seized properties going for in my area?

Police Car Auction Pre Inspection

2007-06-28T05:07:00.000-05:00

Okay, more about what to look for in a pre auction inspection including running a car history report and looking up the book value of the car. A car history report will usually show if the vehicle was ever junked, salvaged, flooded or had a fire and shows a yearly mileage report to help avoid odometer fraud.

Here are some other things to look for that may bring down the blue book value of a car that you can only tell by inspecting the car:

Uneven tire wear on all the tires may indicate bad alignment or possibly from an unreported wreck.

Not only should you check the VIN # on a Carfax report but you should also check that all the VIN #'s on the doors, hood, trunk, dashboard match. If they do not match, the car could have been wrecked or stolen.

Some people use a rebuilt title as a selling point but it usually drops the value of the car by 30%.

Some cars are sold at auctions with no title present for you to take, also called "title in transit" cars, with the promise that the title will be sent to you. My advice is to avoid a car with any title problems, because there are too many people in the world looking to rip you off.

Police And Government Car Auction

2007-04-26T06:32:00.000-05:00

Getting good vehicles at discounted prices can be a hard thing to imagine, especially nowadays when the prices of everything are continuously going up.

Getting good vehicles from government auctions is a wonderful option to look at. The government periodically holds auctions to bid off different kinds of vehicles from different sources.

There are vehicles which are confiscated from criminals. Once the investigations are done and the felons are convicted, their confiscated vehicles are usually sold at government auctions. A wide variety of vehicles can be found during these government auctions.

There are also used government vehicles that are auctioned off to the public after the government has offered these vehicles to other states. The used vehicles are auctioned off because of the rising cost of storing these vehicles which the government shoulders.
Here are some basic tips on how to go about buying surplus vehicles through government auctions.

1. Check the affiliation of the auction first

There are a lot of auctions out there that are posing to be legally affiliated with a government institution. To avoid subsequent troubles and to make sure that everything is in proper place, one should check the affiliation of the auction and counter-check it by asking the institution. Caution is very important in participating in such auctions.

2. Check the schedules of the different government auctions

Getting one's hands on a good pick requires some researching and good timing. Remember that there are a lot of other people who are eyeing on these government auctions and being informed is a good way to get ahead.

There are many government auctions which are held by the General Service Administration, the US Marshall Service, the US Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the US Small Business Administration and many others.

One can find good vehicles and other stuff such as furniture, heavy equipment, scientific equipment and yes, even livestock.

3. Don't judge the car by your first impression

Always take in mind that the vehicles that are offered in government auctions have been in stagnant condition for a long period of time. Before the government auctions these vehicles to the public, they are first offered to other states which might be in need of these vehicles.
So if one sees vehicles in fairly bad exterior condition ( flat tires, dusty and rusted hood, and such other similar conditions) one must be able to look forward and see the vehicle after it has been restored.

4. Always consult a price list

One can probably ask for a list of the auctioned materials from the proper authority and make a preliminary research regarding the current price of the said vehicle. One can definitely make use of the web to be able to get an updated price for certain surplus vehicles.

5. Avoid unreasonable price spirals

In any type of auctions, there are bidders who do not know how to play the game. It only takes two bidders to make the price of a certain vehicle to shoot up unreasonably above its current market price. Bidders should always avoid this unwanted spiraling of prices especially if he is on a tight budget.

These are just some practical tips on how to effectively purchase a surplus vehicle from a government auction. The wise always win in auctions, he takes everything into consideration and make the right bids at the right time.

Car Auction Tips

2007-03-23T07:14:00.000-05:00

At a car auction vehicles are sold "as is" and they do not come with a warranty, so you should take advantage of opportunities to inspect the vehicles in the days leading up to the auction. First, check out all the cars in the auction that interest you, kick the tires and look under the hood (if you know a mechanic bring them along). Find out the vehicle identification (VIN) so you can run a title check and a carfax report to find out if the car up for auction has ever been stolen or in an accident. Then look up the blue book values of the cars you want to bid on so that you do not bid too high.

Police Auction Basics

2007-01-28T05:42:00.000-05:00

An auction is a sale where the price is set by bidding. The person making the highest bid gets to purchase the goods. Public auctions are conducted by police departments periodically throughout the year. Police auctions are generally referred to as "government' auctions, but essentially these are auctions where a government entity sells items seized either because of non-payment of taxes or because of criminal activity. Goods sold in such auctions are either unclaimed or items for which the police department has been unable to locate a title holder. The police department does not sell land, cars, or boats at such auctions.

All goods are sold to the highest bidder and must be paid for on the location immediately after the items are sold. It is generally seen that sales tax is added to the purchase price. All goods are sold "as is." There is no warranty on any commodity sold at a police auction. Goods cannot be returned and money is not generally reimbursed. Personal checks drawn on local bank accounts may be accepted only after providing proper identification. As a general policy credit cards are not accepted for payment.

The main advantages of such police auctions are that goods sold at such auctions are usually sold for a minimum price. This is because such goods do not possess a title of ownership. A little bit of luck combined with adequate research can help people pick up great stuff at a reasonable price. Generally, it is seen that anything and everything can be purchased at a police auction. However, care should be taken while purchasing any commodity. Often these goods may not be of good quality or may be heavily damaged. Police auctions do not guarantee the quality of the goods sold.

Information relating to police auctions can be obtained by visiting and making inquiries at the respective police department. Details regarding the date and time can also be obtained online on a number of websites.

Auctions provides detailed information on Auctions, Auction Sellers, Auction Services, Auction Houses and more. Auctions is affiliated with Online Auto Auctions.
