Online auction site sells unclaimed items from police property rooms

eBay and online auction sites have changed the way America shops. But of all the copycat auction sites out there, I’ve found an inauction site with a twist. This one scours police property rooms around the country and sells off unwanted or unclaimed property that somehow ended up in police hands.

The site is www.PropertyRoom.com and it’s bursting at the virtual seams with pretty cool stuff at very hot prices. In design, it looks and works like similar online auction sites. Browse the categories and place your bids.

But right away, you notice some pretty good buys. Check out power tools …jewelry, electronics,computers, automotive stuff, like car stereos, GPS receivers and speakers.

The site has arrangements with police property rooms across the country, moves out the unclaimed or forfeited stuff to its own warehouses and then cuts the cops in on a part of the proceeds.

The site says it sells about 98% of everything it lists and should the rightful owner find his stolen stuff online, it offers a service called “Steal it Back” that returns the items. All the owner has to do is provide the serial number.

Then…. there are other sites that specialize in auctions of other items.

For example, very month across the United States, thousands of vehicles are seized by different Government agencies (IRS, DEA, FBI) & Police departments and auctioned off to the public. Due to certain laws these vehicles are listed and sold at up to 95% OFF their original value and auctions many times start at $100. This site lists 3,000+ updated auctions nationwide, with listings in every state.

Here’s another government auction site, this one of just about every type of surplus, seized, and abandoned property you could imagine. Once you join this site, they give you access to our unparalleled database of over 2,000 federal, state, and local government agency auctions in your state and on the Internet.

Finally, don’t forget good old eBay. Here’s a guide on how to make and save money on eBay. The site claims 95%of eBay sellers are wasting money because they do not know the answers to some simple questions. This causes expensive mistakes. You can take the test and see what you can do on eBay.
