Has anyone bought anything from U.S. government auctions?

I have been looking at the website http://www.govliquidation.com/ and was wondering if anyone has bought from Uncle Sam and can I get stuff as cheap as the auctions appear to be. Case in point, 24 foot pontoon boat for less than $2,000. Would you reccomend it and what are some of the benefits and pitfalls?Has anyone bought anything from U.S. government auctions?
Goverment actuions happen all the time all around the US,



The Forestry service sell off items,

The GSA has alot of sales.

The FBI some.

Most sales are the local police departmetns and citys that sale.



Can you buy ????



I bought a 3000 dinning table at an estate sale for about 500 when there were almost no other buyers there on a hot day in mid summer with no shade.



Often the cars don't run, the better ones are often used as undercover cars, and the such. And you have to be at some where there ar not many buyers that don't want what you want.



On the boat, it may be there with no trailer for example, so you will have to buy a trailer or pay for trasport.

you don;t know if it runs or flaots, so it is just a chance you take.



If you go to alot of sales all around your area of the county or can travel all around the US, you may find some deals.



but you can on any acution, if you are at the right place at the right timeHas anyone bought anything from U.S. government auctions?

Yes, my father has purchased surplus US Army equipment. He has bought trucks, 2 M151A2 Jeeps, 2 air compressors, 1 50 Kw generator and a lot of hand tools. Those ads you see are things that have sold, but is not accurate for what is on sale in your area.
