Columbus Police Auctions – The Who, What, Where, When, and Why You Need To Get To Your First Auction
Posted by admin under: Property Auction Sep 10
Thinking about attending a Columbus Division of Police seized property auction? This quick guide will tell you all the basic information you need to know to get started and get you there.
Let’s focus on the basics – the who, what, where, when, and why of Columbus Police “property room” auctions.
Who.
Columbus Division of Police is the principal police agency for the City of Columbus, situated in Franklin County, Ohio. They hold two types of auctions: property room auctions, and impound lot auctions. This article is about property room auctions.
What.
What is sold at the auctions is pretty much everything a police agency can seize that does not belong on a police impound lot — that is the other type of auction that the Columbus Division of Police runs, but those aren’t covered in this article. This is for police seizures that can be held inside a property room only.
Where.
All auctions are held at the Police Property Room, 1250 Fairwood, Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. Doors open at 9am. Bidding begins at 10am. There is no charge for admission. However, only the first 400 people are allowed through the door! The best remedy for that is to remember to show up early. The auctions are always cash only.
When.
Auctions are held very roughly once every 3-4 months throughout the year. Note that even when an auction date is set, the auction date is *still* considered tentative by the police department, so you’re smart to call a few days before the auction begins to confirm that it will still be held on the announced date.
This is the most critical first step: call the property room and find out when the next auction date and time is. That number is 614-645-4736.
Why.
You can get super cheap stuff! Anything that isn’t an automobile or otherwise has to be stored in a parking lot is available at these auctions. The Columbus Division of Police is the largest police department in Central Ohio and the size of their seized inventory at these auctions reflects that fact. Note that items are sold “as is,” so pay special attention to the condition of what you’re buying — there’s everything from brand new items to items in a terrible state of disrepair. It’s whatever the police took off the street.
If you’re looking for a super bargain, or maybe even some items to use or resell for a business, you really should check out Columbus Police property room auctions. This is all the information you need to get started — happy bargain hunting!
