Government Auction - great business to deal with

It is a pleasure to deal with Nicole. She is always attentive to my concerns and questions, very knowledgeable in her answers. Yolanda is very courteous and professional. The entire transaction process with Government Auction was easy with no issues.

I made a mistake bidding!

I made a mistake bidding, and bought some property I couldn't afford. Government Auction refunded my money with no problems. I will gladly do business with them when I can get property I can pay for. Great company!

Amazing company I mean from the beginning to the end was all smooth. They registered the deed of warranty and FedEx it to me.

I think this is an extra rad auction site to buy great items, the ONLY thing I wish they would change is the way they charge for shipping if you already have a item coming I don’t think it’s right that they charge more than once for shipping. That’s how I feel 👍👍

Deceptive Practices

A few things:

First, be aware that the price listed for land purchases will not reflect the actual cost. To me, the listings are deceptive by design and intentional in terms of omissions.

Specifically, I bid on a piece of land. The listing said, "your winning bid is for the down payment and the is subtracted from the price of $8,929 you then make monthly installment payments at $159/month at 12% interest. There is a buyer's premium of 17.5% on your down payment amount only and a low $249 closing cost."

The contract I received after successfuly bidding was $4,195.51 more than listed and labeled as "interest on the unpaid balance of cash price." As a result, the purchase price after my bid (used for down payment) is $13,119.51 and payments are in fact $159.99.

Secondly, I don't think an emerald should turn your hand green if handled. Sapphire should not be able to be easily scratched by glass or steel.

However I found all of these things when purchasing on this website. I didn't think I was buying jeweler quality gemstones, but what I received makes me question my purchase. The discrepancies between the listing and contract on the land, to me, shows deceptive methods are the norm. Avoid, there are other and more reputable ways to bid on interesing things!

The items I received were in excellent condition!

The items I received were in excellent condition. A couple things I probably bid a bit high on personally, after doing a bit more research, however the items were beautifully packaged and better than expected when received. Sylvia was very kind and helpful with my question.
