    Default Government Surplus Online Auctions

    Any forum members here have any experience with www.govliquidation.com ?

    Lots of ammo cans for sale at Fort Carson, and other cool stuff like generators, trucks etc.

    Lemme know what you think?

    No experience, but I'd imagine the competition might be tough. Lotta people make their living selling surplus. And I think you have to buy entire pallets of things? Go see Ammo Can Rick in The Springs, he could probably enlighten you. At least you could see the volumes of stuff he has. Search Craigslist for ammo cans there, he has tons of CL listings.

    I signed up as a Bidder a few years ago to try to buy brass. The auctions on which we bid went for about double what we thought was our maximum bid. There just wasn't enough room to make money. Other items might go for less crazy prices.

    Generators are resonable, trucks and ammo cans go for crazy prices in CO.

    You usually have to buy stuff on govliquidation.com by the pallet as rondog said. Not an auction to participate in if you just wanted a dozen ...

    My brother had the same experience. He did pick up a few things though. All you can do is try.

    I have never seen this site before, but...I must have that landing craft. That will certainly come in handy.

    I've bought a few of the top secret filing cabinets with the combo locks for pretty cheap. A little cleanup and a new lockset and you got a nice safe to put handguns, precious metals, etc in.

    Several years ago, while in a medicated haze after back surgery, I bought a nice trailer with canopy for cheap. Tripled my money when the city told me I couldn't park it on the street. Good deals can be had, but you gotta look hard.
