Default Liquidation sales / government auctions - info

Anyone know where these sales take place. When I search on Google I just get bombarded with sites wanting to sell me the information but wondered if any SN'ers already had this information?

Heres hoping....

isnt that another site just selling you the info though!?!?

If you know anyone that works for the local council, get them to find a copy of the local government cronicle, local gov and police auctions usually advertised in the back of that.

Dont your local papers advertise these though. Theres always one in the Loot or Evening Standard (London) I think they are a bit of a scam though. tbh.

Any decent auction house will have goverment stuff just look in Yellow pages they get all there items from places like Police, liquidators, Merchant Banks, Bailiffs etc etc

But to be honest in my experiance its not worth it, you will have to pay a buyers premium (10% on top of your bid) as well as 17.5% VAT on top of that. Most people will get carried away and bid more than you can buy it new (you have to see them do it to believe it!)

Scooby96 I have sent you a PM that should help you out.

It has been started and all data wiped from it and Windows 95 operating system loaded.
So we're talking software piracy here are we or should we be getting the certificate?
