Participate in a customs auction

Service Description

The Customs Auction is the auction house of the federal, state and local governments. Authorities and public bodies auction items here. These can be

  • pledged items
  • seizures
  • confiscations
  • lost property
  • fiscal inheritances
  • irrecoverable property
  • discarded administrative objects

In around 2,000 auctions every day, you can bid for various items, for example

  • cars
  • Valuables such as jewelry or watches
  • electronics
  • furniture
  • tools

You will receive information about the items in each auction. This includes

  • a detailed description
  • photos
  • the minimum bid
  • the duration of the auction

A minimum bid is specified for each item. You can specify a maximum amount that you wish to pay. The electronic bidding agent will automatically bid for you up to your limit. Your bid is binding. However, you can reduce the maximum amount as long as the highest bid has not yet reached this amount. The auction will indicate whether shipping is possible. If not, you must collect the auctioned item from the location.

You must register to take part in an auction.
