Government Auction News covers over 1,200 of UK auctions each month. Whether you are interested in antiques or property, wine or cars, jewellery or bicycles... Government Auction News will steer you to the best bargains. Our coverage is national and all regions are included, from Land's End to John O'Groats as well as Northern Ireland and Eire. The key auction categories are detailed below.
BANKRUPTCY AND LIQUIDATION
Every year literally thousands of limited companies go out of business. In every case a liquidator or official receiver is appointed to dispose of the companies assets. The first thing these people wish to do is to ensure that there is enough money in the bank to pay their fees. To do this they sell off the most marketable of the company's assets as quickly as possible. The best way to do this? By auction - to raise money as quickly as possible but with little attention to the real value of the goods being sold. The result? Liquidator sales are some of the best places to pick up a bargain. And no publication covers these more thoroughly than Government Auction News.
ON-SITE LIQUIDATION SALES
Liquidation auctions on behalf of large organisations such as BCCI, Polly Peck and Maxwell, whose total stock and assets are too vast to be relocated. They take place at the trading sites of the company itself and thus occur at a different venue every time. You have to have your ear to the ground and be prepared to move fast to take advantage of one-off scoop purchases.
PRIVATE TREATY
Details from agents acting on behalf of companies in receivership who are seeking the bulk sale of their assets on a behind-the-scenes basis, even sale of the company itself.
HM CUSTOMS AND EXCISE
Sales of seized and impounded articles from the effects of drug traffickers and racketeers, to a lost-and-found dinghy.
POLICE
Sales of confiscated and stolen/recovered/unclaimed personal possessions looking for a new home. Buy from the police cheaper than you could from the criminals! Bicycles, household items, jewellery, business equipment and, of course, a great many car radios and mobile phones.
PLANT AND MACHINERY
Those bankruptcy agents and auctioneers who deal solely in printing or farm equipment, computers, the catering trade or just in vehicles.
TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT
Sales of lost and unclaimed property: umbrellas by the thousand, handbags, briefcases, overcoats, filofaxes, books, etc from companies such as British Airways and London Underground.
GOVERNMENT SURPLUS
Over-stocked stationery, ex MoD and council vehicles, redundant hardware and schools equipment, nationalised utility service machinery, gas masks, etc. - usually sold by tender only.
ANTIQUE, FURNITURE, JEWELLERY AND COLLECTIBLES SALES
Details of all the more interesting antique, furniture, jewellery and collectible sales with an emphasis on the bottom to mid range of the market.
BICYCLES AND RELATED ITEMS
An increasing number of specialist bicycles sales, especially by the police, make it important to give this catagory added coverage.
CARS AND MISCELLANEOUS VEHICLES
Both ex-government and official receiver sales and all specialist car auctions are covered.
COMPUTERS
Where to pick up everything from a laptop to a mainframe computer, often fully covered by guarantees.
GENERAL SALES
With particular reference to "no-reserve" auctions. Such sales include a vast array of goods, from washing machines to carpets, and from non-perishable food to books.
PROPERTY
Government bodies, local authorities, receivers, executors, banks and building societies who have made repossessions, and many others besides, now sell property at auction. Prices start from literally £3,950.
PRODUCE AND LIVESTOCK
From bedding plants to bulls, and from sweet corn to steak ... we tell you where you can pick up all manner of things at knockdown prices.
