Government Auction Listings
You're
in business now...
Most
people are completely unaware of the bargains that can be
found in the most unlikely of places: the government! We're
used to reading about the Pentagon paying $59.00 for a wrench,
about the national debt rising higher and higher, so it's
excusable to not think of
government and "sales" in the same sentence.
Yet
nearly every level of government from city and town on up
through county, state and federal, has possession of excess
property that must be disposed of. If this can be accomplished
and money raised at the same time, why not? We want government
to be fiscally responsible, right?
The
most common method of parting with this overage of property
is through auction sales. These affairs offer a unique opportunity
to the right person–– purchases at bargain basement prices
which you can turn around and sell at a profit! The money
to be made staggers the imagination.
From
property seized by police officers or customs officials
to repossessions by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, there are thousands of items of all types available
at rock–bottom prices. Whether you're merely buying for
yourself or seeing this as a line of business that could
make you a substantial profit, the key is to identify and
locate these auctions.
You
name it! Houses, cars, jewelry, yachts, government farm
equipment, computers, firewood–– it's there for the bidding…
and the buying! And, eventually–– the selling for profit!
You don't need much experience for this. You are familiar
with what many of these items cost today on the open market.
If you buy it far enough below market value, you can still
sell the property yourself at a discount and make a handsome
profit. If you yourself have always wanted to own a luxury
yacht, here's your chance. You'll never find your dream
purchase at a lower price.
You
could even start a second–hand store or set up shop at a
flea market or swap shop to peddle your merchandise after
you've acquired it. Many of these places are havens for
shoppers. You've simply gone them one better by obtaining
the good(s) at an even lower price than they'll pay–– and
they’ll be pleased with their "bargain".
The
purpose of our booklet is to point you in the right direction
to find out about the various auctions that are held by
virtually all branches of government. The listings in this
book are as up to date as possible. Contacting these places
listed should give you the information you need to begin
your auction attendance.
Auctions
can be hyped up–– to the point of temptation to overbid.
Don't do it! Remember your goal, your budget and your knowledge
of what things cost and you'll do very well. Through the
contacts listed in this booklet, you will find yourself
on a regular mailing list of government auctions. Often,
with the notice, you'll receive a catalogue of the items
to be sold and approximately what time they'll be auctioned.
This will allow you to budget your time wisely at these
affairs and not get lost in the shuffle.
This
is a wide assortment of contact listings for you to begin
your new career in the buying and selling business. People
are going to buy goods from you or from someone else. Why
not take advantage of the outstanding savings you can accumulate
by having the government locate your acquisitions for you?
You
always thought the government only took taxes from you.
Here's a chance to get some back! Of course, it will probably
increase your taxes as your income goes up, but that's a
good problem to have, right?
