Online auction site sells unclaimed items from police property rooms
March 7, 2008 by admin
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.
your link doesn’t work in the online article
You need to repair the links if your going to talk about what a good site it is.
Sorry, but this is bogus information as the Propertyroom.com is not a valid URL.
Propertyroom.com does not go anywhere.

wate is worng you tell me to go to propertyroom.com
you can get to it by going here…www.stealitback.com
Went there and everything I clicked on didn’t work. You realy need to fix your site.
i went on the page and didn’t work; need to fix the site before you talk about it on t.v.
you need to type http://WWW.propertyroom.com
I agree with all of the above comments. I think #10 was right on!
While the site is promoting a worthwhile cause - don’t be fooled by the jewerly and watch auctions. The reporter has good intentions but he should do some research on the product being offered. The “RESELLERS” associated with http://www.propertyroom.com seem to be engaging in “unreal advertising” techniques claiming that their high end watches which sell for over thousands of dollars are probably just foreign made mediocre watches - I just bought 2 to do some research on these watches to help warn future buyers who are fighting each other to run the prices up beyond what the watches are probably worth. What I’ve found so far is that the websites that are supposed to be the manufacturers don’t function in their registration links and won’t answer your emails if you ask where the watches are being manufacturered. If the people are educated then the people won’t be scammed. Some one get word to PC Mike to check out what I’m talking about. This might be the internets next biggest scam.
