About Police and Government Auctions
Seized goods, worth millions of pounds, are
auctioned every year at police auctions,
government auctions and bailiff auctions. Most
people don’t know where or when these
auctions are taking place. However, the amount
of stuff that gets sold at these auctions is
amazing. And it’s cheap! At police auctions,
you can pick up computers and laptops,
electrical items, mobile phones and tablets,
clothing and footwear, bikes, cars, vans and
lots more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t the police try to get stuff back to their
owners?
The police work very hard to reunite lost items with
their owners, however a lot of stuff ends up in the
police property room. In general, if items are not
collected in a sensible time frame, they are
auctioned and become an excellent find for bargain
hunters.
Do you only cover police and government
auctions?
In addition to police and government auctions, we
also list many auction houses that specialise in
cars and property. Going to a car auction is a great
way to pick up a bargain motor. Going to a property
auction can be an ideal opportunity to find a house
for sale below market value.
Can I bid on unclaimed baggage and lost luggage?
One of the auction houses that we regularly feature
in our weekly calendar holds auctions for
unclaimed baggage. This can be on behalf of both
airlines and railways and the types of items that
you can pick up here include clothing, tabletes,
digital cameras, mobile phones and duty free items
which have most likely been seized at HM Customs
or forgotten by customers as they rush for their
flight.
Can anybody attend the auctions?
In general, anybody is allowed to attend the
auctions. Most auction houses welcome the
general public as well as trade buyers.
