Police Auctions & Government Auctions Professional Resource InformationWritten by Daniel Holmbeck
Continued from page 1
Some police auctions require that you register as a bidder in advance, while others let everyone and anyone show up at day of auction. Bidders are usually allotted time to inspect goods before actual police auction begins. You should take advantage of this time because it is a very bad idea to bid on anything that you haven't had time to inspect. Once auction starts, you simply bid on items that you want. Have a budget in mind and don't bid more than you're willing to pay. It's easy to get caught up in bidding frenzy and end up paying far more than you intended to. Police auctions can be fun and profitable. Especially police auto auctions. Watch your local papers for announcements, or contact law enforcement agencies in your area and find out when they are running next police auctions.
