Police Auctions
Police recovered lost property and
seized items that cannot be reunited
with their rightful owners.
Government Auctions
Surplus government items and items
repossessed by various government
agencies such as HMRC.
Car Auctions
Bargain vehicles being auctioned for
various reasons including finance
company repossessions.
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.
Police and Government Auctions
We provide a popular guide available as an e-book (PDF) or book (softback) which includes background information, useful advice, summaries of the types
of goods available as well as lists of relevant auction houses. The range of products is typically varied according to the auction and includes police lost,
stolen and seized property, items seized by bailiffs and debt collection firms, repossession agent hauls including cars, items retained by organisations such
as HMRC as well as airport lost property and left luggage as well as general and household items.

Unclaimed Baggage
One of the auction houses that we regularly
feature in our weekly update 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,
tablets, digital cameras, mobile phones and duty
free items such as whiskies, gins and vodkas (we
imagine these items have been forgotten by
customers as they rush to catch their flight!)

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 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.
