Government Auctions: More for Less by Bobby Wellman
Let's start by posing a few questions. What is the difference between the person driving a Mercedes and the person driving a Kia? What is the difference between the person who rents and the person who owns their own home? What is the difference between the person who rides a Huffy mountain bike and the person who rides a Suzuki Hyabusa 1000? I'll wait, let me you a minute to ponder these questions. What did you come up with?
If you said that one person has more money than the other, sorry to tell you, but you're wrong. If you said that they both wanted to have different things, you're still wrong. Or did you say that one person is smarter than the other, close but still wrong. The difference is that one person knows exactly where to shop to maximize every dollar that he has and the other person does not. Hear me out on this.
You see, for what ever reason most people always assume that the only way to purchase the things that they want is from private and commercial vendors (online stores,physical stores, dealerships, pawn shops, flea markets, retail shops, etc.). When dealing with these vendors, everything is priced so high (to compensate for commisssions, storage fees, and other middle-man costs) that the average person decides that they cannot afford whatever it is that they really want so, for most of their lives, they settle for less and buy something that they appear to be able to afford. Sound familiar? And then you have those people, who we will now call 'Informed Buyers' who discoverd that the US Government and it's affiliates are also vendors.
The FBI, IRS, DEA, financial institutions and other federal agencies, also the local police seize and take away millions of dollars worth of tangible items from people and businesses alike for whatever reason (tax evasion, repo, fruad, illegal activities, etc.) on a monthly basis. Items like cars, trucks, R/V's, semi trucks, motorcycles, boats, homes, fine jewelry, furniture, electronics and just about anything else you can think of. They then have to pay to store all of these items at storage facilities which are owned by individual companies. The government has no use for all of this stuff so they want to sell fast to keep there cost down, and the only way to sell it fast is to sell cheap, and this is where you and I can make out like fat cats. Nothing they sell sells for market value, NOTHING. You can literally purchase thousands of items for pennies on the dollar and all you need to do is to get access to the list so that you can know where the next auction will be held in your area and what items will be for sale at that auction.
As I said before, many vendors, including car dealers depend on you not being aware of this fact thus making a killing off of the mis-informed. You are now beginning to become an 'Informed Buyer' and you now have an opportunity to begin to shop like it. It is a fact that the 'Average Joe' will spend thousands more on mediocre products than the 'Informed Buyer' would spend on the most luxurious of products.
There are several online auctions sites that will provide you with lists of the thousands of items for sale each week through the government auctions whether online or live. However, Gov-auctions.org is by far the best so I have no desire to even mention the names of any of the other sites. For just a one time access fee of $39, you get access to every auction in every state every day, if you check around you'll see that you could easily pay $50 or even $60 at some other site. Plus, the customer service is absolutely awesome at Gov-auctions.org and they will provide you with a free 5-day comprehensive course on buying with these online auctions which no other site is offering. It's great for someone who is new to government online auctions and will really assist you in making a smart buy, which is also my reasoning behind writing this article.
I have bought 7 vehicles for myself and for a couple of my close friends. Two of the cars I bought, a 2002 Chevy Impala and a 2005 Nissan Altima, I actually sold locally and profited almost $9,000 from the sell of them. I've told you before on other posts that I'm an old used car dog and I've buying and selling with these online auctions for about 5 months now and I'll never buy from anywhere else. So I myself have a few tips that you will find helpful when bidding at these auctions. If you would like for me to send you my free personal tips for shopping at online and live auctions, email me at the address on this page and I'll disclose of them individually rather than publically.
So, after reading the information in this article, if you want to spend $10,000 on your next vehicle, are you going to settle for a Kia because you appear to be able to afford it, or will you stop settling and start getting what you want as a 'Informed Buyer'? I thought so. Good luck dear friends in all of you future purchases and be sure to make a smart buy.
