Government Surplus - How to Out eBay Veteran eBayers

2009-04-02T13:32:00.000-07:00

By Doug E Smith

Auctioning off merchandise on eBay is one of the earliest and perhaps most effective ways to sell goods and develop a rewarding online home based business. A few years ago it was quite easy to make money this way, however, lately eBay has been increasingly competitive with sellers, making it difficult to track down items that are unique and cheap enough to make a decent profit from. If you use online wholesalers, you are at a competitive disadvantage among eBayer's, because many receive volume discounted pricing on merchandise that you would have to compete against.

Here is a way you can have a competitive advantage and make much higher profit margins then long time eBayers. There are millions of items that the government acquires through diverse means such as bankruptcies, unpaid taxes, repossessed items, unclaimed items or government surplus that they simply want to quickly get rid of. You can buy these items either online from government web sites or from live government auctions held locally across the US and Canada. Because the government has a zero cost basis for these items, they aren't concerned about selling at high prices like a wholesaler is, so you can purchase items for far less then what they are worth.

Purchasing products at government auctions means you are getting deeply discounted distinctive merchandise. These auctions have a broad range of products that are effective for selling on eBay including items such as jewelry, electronics, office equipment, etc. Many of the items are sold in bulk or larger quantities which allows for a quicker eBay set-up for the items. To provide an example, at a government auction I recently attended someone bought 11 ATM machines for $45 each which they sold for $467 each and another person bought 43 digital cameras for $600 which they auctioned off on eBay for a 700 percent profit.

So if you've never sold an item on eBay then I would recommend going to eBay and spending 15 minutes creating a free eBay account and entering a fabricated sale item (just follow eBay's prompts). This will help you to understand how to sell items on eBay and show you how painless it is.

Then visit the Government Auction Review Site below and check which government auction site is the right one for locating the best government auctions and items listed at each (both online and live auctions). Once you know the government auction site that will offer access to virtually unlimited items for you to resale, then join that site.

All you have to do now is explore government auction sale items online and/or visit a local live government auction. Then buy items amongst the many great deals and list them on eBay for a nice profit. Viola, eBay's entire audience has access to your products and can now bid on them.

Congratulations, you are on your way to what will definitely be a very lucrative Internet business.

The Secret to Purchasing Seized Cars For Under $340

2009-04-02T13:30:00.000-07:00

Not many people know that you can buy a vehicle for $339.95 simply by visiting a local government police auction.

Here's how it's done! At the majority of government and police auctions if a vehicle doesn't meet a predetermined opening bid during the auction, it will be put up for sale at the auction's conclusion for $300. This is because the government likes to eliminate any costs involved in storing vehicles after the auction.

The first time I noticed this, I was going through some of the car listings on the site mentioned below (last paragraph) and then I noticed something peculiar. Many of the cars were indiscreetly labeled 'If vehicle does not sell at this auction it can be purchased afterward for $300'.

In fact upon further research including calling a number of the auctions, using the number provided on the Government Auctions site, I was surprised to hear that due to the current recession, cars selling for $300 at these auctions has been increasing. This is because car dealerships cannot obtain credit or sell their current inventory resulting in many more cars available (in great condition) then people there to buy them.

The cost to gain access to these government car auctions with all of the vehicle listings and associated information is $39.95 (so car total is $339.95). It is worth it though, as you get listings of the less obvious auctions with detailed vehicle information for each auction. The membership also contains listings of items such as car parts, jewelry, furniture, home/garden equipment, electronics and even foreclosed homes, all offered for pennies on the dollar.

Once you choose the vehicles of interest from the government auction in your area, then attend that auction and low bid on each vehicle. Better still wait until the auction is over then pick up the unsold vehicle(s) you like for $300. I would recommend calling the auction prior to attending so you have an understanding on their policies regarding this.

You'll be surprised at what you can get for $300. I know, I've purchased 3 cars this way including a older model Beemer in great condition.

To locate these $300 car listings and access a free ebook of how to purchase a used car visit Police Auctions or to locate other government auction products such as foreclosures visit Government Auctions.

Tax Lien versus Tax Deeds and How to Purchase a House for Under $2K

2009-04-02T13:10:00.000-07:00

Have you ever considered what the penalty is when a property owner is unable to pay their taxes? Well as you may of guessed the IRS is intolerant and will do whatever is required to retrieve the taxes due, including forcing the buyer to foreclose on their home. On the outside this may seem like a very unpleasant situation, however, there are other sources of alternative financing available to assist this owner. That's where individuals like yourself can profit while providing a possible 'light at the end of the tunnel' for the distraught home owner.

A public property tax sale, also known as 'property tax liens', are auctions organized by local government councils in an effort to dispose of tax debt. What occurs is that the public bids on the debt owed by the property owner. For argument sake say you are the winning bidder. That means you are paying off the tax debt on behalf of the property owner by buying a tax lien certificate which establishes you as the new lender to the property owner. The property owner has to pay you back with interest before the expiration of the redemption period as predefined by the government. This redemption period can be any time between 6 months to 4 years.

The homeowner must then pay the winner back all their money plus interest by a specific date. The date will be determined and agreed upon by both parties. The lender is allowed to raise the interest anytime the homeowner fails to make a payment. If the homeowner continues to fail on the payments, the winning bidder will then be permitted to take over the home and the title. Either by profiting on the interest or by receiving the title to the home, the lender wins both ways.

Obviously, a savvy business person would like the homeowner to be unable to pay back the loan or default on the loan terms, so that they can receive title on the property themselves. It's in the homeowner's best interest to pay their dues on the home and home tax loan, but if their financial situation was bad in the first place, there's is a chance it may not improve anytime soon in this economy. In many cases, all odds are against the homeowner.

In addition to tax lien sales, there are also tax deed sales. Tax deed sales are when the government auctions off the property and title right away, giving the winning bidder immediate ownership. The current homeowners must surrender their home and/or property immediately. They have no choice otherwise. Tax lien sales will give them a chance to maintain their home, tax deed sales will not.

These government auction tax sale opportunities may be the best investments one can make because you actually have a house and/or property that either you own or have as collateral should your lien interest payments not be made. Just reflect on the amount of money you can make by purchasing a tax lien and charging high interest rates, or paying the defaulted taxes, receiving the house and either renting it for a monthly income or reselling it for a healthy profit.

Online Marketing and Auctions

2008-09-24T02:25:00.000-07:00

One of the best opportunities to take advantage of auctions is through online marketing. However, these are areas that require some expertise in order to keep from losing your shirt!

Affiliate marketing and internet marketing go hand-in-hand with online auctions.

Before pursing online marketing, you must make an effor to "learn the ropes". Just as there are excellent resources for auctions and auction sites, so too there are plenty of online resources that will help you do a better job taking advantage of auctions.

Improve Your Internet Marketing is one of those premier sites for learning everything you need to know about online marketing.

From that site, you'll find links to other online resources, virtually all of them free.

You can also search Google on the topics of auctions, government auctions, and online auction marketing. You'll find literally thousands of websites, ebooks, etc.

Police Auctions - Want a Hot Car that is Street Legal?

2008-07-30T20:17:00.000-07:00

by Doug Smith

Where do car dealerships get there used vehicles? Their main sources are government and police auctions because they can bid on the vehicles their customers are requesting at extremely low prices. Of course they will resell the vehicles to them at a larger profit then one would expect.

What many people don't realize is that they can attend police auctions as well to get the same low prices on seized cars as the dealerships do! Why go to a middle man if you can get the same type of deals they do?

No matter what vehicle you wish to own, sports car, pick up truck, motorcycle, SUV, or jeep, you will find a good deal at a police auction. Most of these cars have been repossessed early on so they are in like new condition.

The police seize thousands of vehicles every month all across the country and are in a hurry to get rid of them. Unlike a car dealership the government has paid nothing to obtain the car and their only real cost is keeping inventory. So the result is you have a motivated seller who has basically paid nothing for his items and wants to unload to avoid costs. The bottom line is the government wants to sell fast regardless of the bidding price to avoid inventory burden and associated costs.

Consider bringing a mechanic or other vehicle enthusiast to inspect the vehicles that you may bid on at the auction. Don't forget to get there well ahead of time in order to have an opportunity to view over the vehicles that are of interest.

There are qualified government and police auctions sites that will inform you of where auctions are going to be held and what they will be offering. So how do you sort out the qualified government auction sites from the bad? A government and police auction review site is the best resource to find this out.

By reading government auction reviews, you will source the most appropriate and legitimate police auction sites. It will help to guide you to the top government or police auction sites values and make sure you avoid any scams. You will receive a better deal than 99% of the rest of the population if you follow this means in finding your next vehicle.

To find the top government auctions & stay clear of being mislead check out government auction reviews, or more specifically check out Police Auctions, Seized Vehicles and Boats

Seized Property and Surplus Property are Treasure Troves of Bargains!

2008-04-27T23:51:00.000-07:00

Many government auctions and police auctions consist mainly of seized property and surplus merchandise that come from many sources. What is seized property? This if property seized under state or federal “seizure laws”. Property used during a crime, or payed for by profits from crime, can be seized and auctioned off.

The scope and quantity of seized and surplus property offered for auction is staggering. You can buy jewelery, collectibles, art, houses, planes, cheap used cars… the list goes on and on. Anything you can imagine can probably be bought at a government auction or police auction, usually for pennies on the dollar.

Government Auction Site Reviews Updated

2008-04-06T22:51:00.000-07:00

A review site is only as good as it's reviews. And unless the reviews are kept current, they quickly lose their value. One of my favorite sites, Government Auction Site Reviews, has recently updated all of it's reviews, extensively testing over 17 government and police auction membership sites.

Their findings aren't too far off their last update; GovernmentAuctions.org still wins the top spots for listings, currency, and value. Still, it's good to see the reviews updated, as they remain much more useful and credible.

Bank Foreclosures & Preforeclosures
Foreclosure properties offer a way to acquire their homes at incredible prices, sometimes saving as much as 30% to 90% on the price of their home. For first-time buyers or those looking to profit from buying real estate and reselling it at a profit, foreclosures and preforeclosures can be purchased for a fraction of their market value. Before the Internet explosion, finding foreclosure homes meant buying expensive lists or knowing someone with inside information. Websites like those listed below maintain databases of thousands of foreclosure and preforeclosure homes and allow home buyers to search by state and zip code, zeroing in on their target area. This provides potential home buyers with details about the house or property, what the price of the house is, who to contact, and sometimes the address and a photo. Pre-foreclosures are homes or property that are about to go into foreclosure. This is where some of the best deals can be had, before they are seen by every real estate broker and buyer on the planet. These are generally negotiated directly with the owner, who is eager to avoid the hassles of foreclosure. [....read more....]

Police Auctions - Cars For $100?By Michael Ullman

We've all heard the claims of cars selling for $100 at police auctions, but what's behind the claims? Did you ever wonder where the seized property and vehicles sold in a police auction or government auction comes from?
Almost every state has what are called “seizure laws”. These laws allow law enforcement agencies to seize property that was used in the commission of a crime or was bought with money that was gained by the commission of a crime. This means that if a drug dealer is arrested, law enforcement can logically conclude that their assets were purchased with illegal drug money. That allows the police to seize cars, trucks, boats, homes, and even jewelry and clothing. This includes property given to family members and friends. If the purchase of the merchandise can be traced back to the offender, it can be seized. If the person is convicted, all of this property will eventually end up in a police auction. The seizure law is a helpful tool for law enforcement agencies, especially against organized crime and drug dealers. ....[read more...]

Government Auctions - A Specific Type You Need To Know AboutBy Michael Ullman

If you want to use government auctions to get a great deal on a vehicle, then there is a specific type of auction you need to know about. In this article, I will discuss with you this type of auction and also give you some basic strategy strategy on how you can use it to get the best deal on your next week will purchase. After reading this article, your eyes will be opened to a whole new market for vehicles that you probably never knew existed.
The government has to get rid of a certain amount of surplus items in their inventory every year. It's the law. In this inventory are used vehicles of all different kinds. Under the United States General Service Administration Supply Service, the government has an agreement with different manufacturers to auction off their vehicles when the contract ends.
To find out about these vehicles, you will have to visit the official government service administration website. There you'll find a list showing the different make and model, year, and engine displacement of each government vehicle that will be auctioned. As long as you're over 18 and have a valid drivers license, and don't work for the government, you'll be able to bid on these vehicles..... [read more...]

First, you must be aware of when these actions take place. You can either follow your newspaper and look for the notifications in your area, or get on the Internet and gain access to websites that list upcoming repossessed car auctions.

When you buy a car at a repossessed car auction, you're buying it as is. This means that you need to do the proper research to make sure you're not buying a clunker. You should be able to recognize within a certain degree of reasonability whether a car runs well or not. If you can't do this, you'd be well advised to take along an expert with you who can before you make any major purchase.

In conclusion, you can get real deals from repossessed car auctionsbecause the government wants to get rid of the cars quickly, and because most people don't know they can purchase cars this way. This means you get little competition. Just make sure the car you're purchasing can run well, and you'll be getting great deals on your next vehicle purchases.

If you're looking to use repossessed car auctions to find a bargain on your next vehicle purchase, then this article will be of interest to you. The great thing about repossessed cars is that they are sold notfor a profit motive, but as a recovery motive. The longer these cars sit on government property, the more it cost the government in storage space. This means they're willing to get rid of the car at lower than market value.

A repossessed car has nothing to do with whether it runs well or not. Cars are repossessed because they're not paid for on time, because the owner didn't pay their income taxes or the cars were seized from owners who were engaged in illegal activity. Having a surplus of repossessed cars from these causes means the government wants to get rid of them fast. That's where you come in.First, you must be aware of when these auctions take place. You can either follow your newspaper and look for the notifications in your area, or get on the Internet and gain access to websites that list upcoming repossessed car auctions.When you buy a car at a repossessed car auction, you're buying it as is. This means that you need to do the proper research to make sure you're not buying a clunker.

You should be able to recognize within a certain degree of reasonability whether a car runs well or not. If you can't do this, you'd be well advised to take along an expert with you who can before you make any major purchase.In conclusion, you can get real deals from repossessed car auctionsbecause the government wants to get rid of the cars quickly, and because most people don't know they can purchase cars this way. This means you get little competition. Just make sure the car you're purchasing can run well, and you'll be getting great deals on your next vehicle purchases.

If you're looking to use repossessed car auctions to find a bargain on your next vehicle purchase, then this article will be of interest to you. Specifically in this article I will give you a brief overview about how cars become repossessed and are offered for literally pennies on the dollar. Also, I will discuss with you the best strategies to use at these auctions to make sure you get the best deal. After reading this article, you should be able to go out and locate repossessed car auctions and walk away a winner.

The great thing about repossessed cars is that they are sold notfor a profit motive, but as a recovery motive. The longer these cars sit on government property, the more it cost the government in storage space. This means they're willing to get rid of the car at lower than market value.

A repossessed car has nothing to do with whether it runs well or not. Cars are repossessed because they're not paid for on time, because the owner didn't pay their income taxes or the cars were seized from owners who were engaged in illegal activity. Having a surplus of repossessed cars from these causes means the government wants to get rid of them fast. That's where you come in.

First, you must be aware of when these actions take place. You can either follow your newspaper and look for the notifications in your area, or get on the Internet and gain access to websites that list upcoming repossessed car auctions.

When you buy a car at a repossessed car auction, you're buying it as is. This means that you need to do the proper research to make sure you're not buying a clunker. You should be able to recognize within a certain degree of reasonability whether a car runs well or not. If you can't do this, you'd be well advised to take along an expert with you who can before you make any major purchase.

In conclusion, you can get real deals from repossessed car auctionsbecause the government wants to get rid of the cars quickly, and because most people don't know they can purchase cars this way. This means you get little competition. Just make sure the car you're purchasing can run well, and you'll be getting great deals on your next vehicle purchases.
