I have written or read almost everything that can be said about government and police auctions, but the other day I was thinking to myself how ironic it is that you hear so much about foreclosures, government auctions, reposed cars, etc. yet you rarely see samples of the specific deals available. I do know that the reason for this is that the word ‘profit’ is a dirty word for the government and therefore advertising is not an option. The only way you would of heard about government or police auctions is through word of mouth or on the net.

What if retail stores such as Best Buy or Walmart never bothered to publicize their great deals? Do you really think Walmart would even get near the business they get today if they’ve never advertised? A good portion of many retail stores attract their audience by advertising sales and discounts ahead of time. Police and Government auctions, however, still has a popular following even though the government never spends on advertising the specific items it will be selling. The government doesn’t have much of an advertising budget and yet they still manage to quickly sell their merchandise and that’s because they have best bargains period. There is a vast difference from the retailer who has to pay for marketing, the cost of the item itself and above that they need to make a good profit. The police and government don’t have any of these costs so obviously the savings is reflected in the items price.
