Before Going to A Federal Government Auction

Before attending a Federal Government auction, research the auction by contacting the sponsoring agency. Find out when and where the sale or auction and what forms of payment are accepted. Most federal government auctions require a money order, certified check, cash, or credit cards. Also, get information on the buyer's responsibility for property removal and inspection times prior to the auction. It's wise for potential buyers to attend several federal government auctions to get a feel for the auction process.

Inspect The Property Before Bidding At Auction

Chances are you will not find new or unused items at Federal Government auctions. The condition of the goods will vary. For example, some forfeited vehicles may be in excellent condition, others may have high mileage or a stripped interior. Although information about the condition will be given, it is still necessary to inspect the property before you purchase. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify the actual condition of the property sold at auction. Most federal government auction sales are final.
