How do you find local auctions?

GovSales and AuctionZip are two sources for finding local auctions. Both sites provide options for live auctions or bidding online for a wide variety of items, including cars, furniture, jewelry and electronics.

GovSales is the United States Federal Asset Sales portal and allows searches by category of item and by state. Users may search for regularly scheduled live auctions or bid online. Online auctions generally run for seven days. AuctionZip features an auction calendar and auctioneer directory. This site allows searches by item category and state as well as by miles from a ZIP code. Users may sign up to receive alerts when items they are looking for come up for auction.
