Government (Local, County, State, USA and Canada) auctions can be a great resource for picking up items at pennies on the dollar. Many items may have been seized by the government (IRS, Drug Raids, etc.) or may just be outdated items that are being replaced. The best deals to be made are on seized items, however the competition is fierce. If you are interested in checking out various auctions, here are a few links to get you started. If you use Google to search for various Government Auctions, be careful as there are many who claim to have all the contact information that they will sell you for a small fee. Generally, if it’s a Government Auction, there are no fees to get on the mailing lists.
