Seized & Abandoned Properties & Government Surpluses

By Clifford Carr

Seized properties and government surpluses are sold through government auctions to the public for low prices as determined by a bidding process. There are government auctions consistently held all across the United States and Canada. No matter where you live, there will likely be government auctions held near by.

Government surplus items sold at auctions come from all levels of government. Sometimes the government will purchase too much equipment and they will liquidate the excess at the auctions.

Items found at government auctions can also come from businesses that have gone bankrupt. Many of these items found at government auctions can include furniture, computers, electronics, furniture, and miscellaneous equipment. Most people don't think of these types of items at a government auction, however, it's where you can get these types of used items the cheapest.

Seized properties can consist of foreclosures, bankruptcies, criminal properties, etc. These properties can also be purchased at government auctions. Depending on the circumstances the police may seize property if the owner is sentenced to jail.

Property can be declared abandoned for many reasons: death of the owner with no heir, the owner leaving as they can't afford it, zoning laws, etc. The government always tries to find the property owner before officially declaring the property abandoned.

You can find out where government auctions are going to be held in your area, as well as the listings that will be available, through the Internet. There are many government auction websites (some are great and some are scams) that charge a membership fee to provide listings and information regarding abandoned/seized properties, and surplus items.

Read government auction reviews on the web to find out where the best membership deals are. This will help prevent you from falling into the many scams that are on the web. - 23218
