Government Auctions

Seized Goods Various government agencies have the power to seize goods from the general public. For example HMRC may employ bailiffs to seize people’s property if they haven’t paid their tax bill. One of the sources in our guide has a relationship with HMRC and sells items on their behalf to realise unpaid tax bills.

Government ministries and departments make their own arrangements for disposing of items. Some of these are disposed of via auctions, and some are sold by other means, for example by companies who are specialised in this field. Police and Government Auction Sources UK contains website links, locations and telephone numbers of a range of auction houses that dispose of items on behalf of the government.

More About Government Auctions

Government auctions may often contain newer items for sale than more traditional auctions. This is because sometimes the government sets up temporary organisations (for example, following a national emergency). After the work is complete, it will often close, leaving computers and other equipment surplus to requirements that needs to be disposed of quickly and cheaply.
