<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1581554, member: 15929&quot;]Therein lies the problem with propertyroom.com</p><p><br /></p><p>The items up for auction are not &quot;exclusively&quot; property seized or recovered by the police.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the About Us:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The long story? Founded in 1999 by former police, Property Room originally provided online auction services solely to law enforcement agencies. By statute, such agencies must sell seized, recovered, found, and unclaimed personal property at public auction. If you&#039;ve ever wondered about our funny name, the cops safeguard all the goodies in the <i>Property &amp; Evidence Room</i>.</p><p>Over time, other municipal agencies wanted a piece of the action, which led us into auctioning surplus assets for fire departments, airports, fleets, and parks departments. On behalf of all these clients, we manage the entire internet auction process, beginning with the pick-up of items for auction and ending with delivery to online shoppers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several years into the journey, our growth attracted <i><b>liquidators and wholesale merchants</b></i>. Motivated by the fact that we could bring more deals to our one million plus customer base we allowed a select few, hand picked Trusted Merchants to sell on our site. This brought more quality goods derived from store close-outs, canceled orders, and over-stock product directly to you. You would not believe the amount of quality merchandise getting liquidated. The fun never ends.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The site bidders fail to read this stuff and actually believe that they are bidding on seized or recovered items and are gonna get the deal of their lives! The reality is that, with such &quot;bidders&quot; most stuff goes way over actual value and coins appears to be the &quot;rule&quot; and not the exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like ANY online auction house, your only hope is that nobody else see&#039;s or knows about what YOU are bidding on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
