Letter Re: A Useful Web Site on Government Auctions

Good evening, Mr. Rawles –
I always enjoy reading your site and find it informative, with plenty of links and good advise on just about everything.

One site I’d recommend for your readers is GovDeals.com. It has a wide variety of goods on an ongoing basis, with generators, trailers, tractors, and a
lot more.

I spotted one lot in particular that seems to be a kind of ‘starter barter kit’.

I’m not connected with this web site in any way. In fact, most of the best ones seem to be too far away for me to take advantage of. “Them’s the breaks”, I guess. – Mark

JWR Replies: Thanks for that link. A similar site that I’ve found useful is GovLiquidation.com. If you keep an eye out there for items like concertina wire, commo wire, sand bags, camouflage nets, medical freezers, and trailer-mounted diesel gensets, then you can find some real bargains. Warning: Government surplus auctions can be habit forming. Seek counseling and intervention if you become addicted. A key symptom: Your barn and shop begin to overflow with “bargain” military surplus.
