Are police auctions real in the UK?
As such, police forces across the UK sell items at auction as a space-saving measure. Selling items far below market price and other auctions saves them the expense of storing them and raises money for good causes like local charities. Official police eBay stores – some forces have now set up their own eBay (and even Vinted) shops. You can collect items in person or sometimes have them delivered. Auction houses – some police forces also sell goods via auction houses, in person or online.
