Yes, you can trust police auctions. Police Auctions are a process mandated by the government to return seized, stolen, abandoned, and unclaimed personal property back to the public. Items do not go up for auction until after due diligence is done to return it to the rightful owner. In many cases, they are unable to find the rightful owner (or if they are found, they often have filed insurance claims a do not want the original item back). If the items cannot be returned, it goes to public auction. We get items from over 4,100+ police agency clients and we are tasked with auctioning them to the public and returning all proceeds back to the agencies we work with.
In order to give our bidders the best experience, and the information to make educated bids, we take a lot of photos to show the quality and condition of the item. In addition, we provide as much detail as we can to help you make educated decisions in bidding. Our images magnify when clicked to help see as much as possible. Make sure you properly read all of the Titles, Item Description, Shipping & Return, and Warranties & Disclaimer before bidding. This way you are fully aware of what you’re bidding on and how to get your winnings.
