Bored with eBay? Check out Police PropertyRoom.com
Elinor Mills writes on the C|Net Media Blog:
Not having any luck with bids on eBay? Well, there's another online auction site you might want to hit--PropertyRoom.com. The goods in question are from policy property auctions. That's right, the loot seized from thieves and convicted and alleged criminals.More here.
For example, under the heading "Hot Pursuit Specials" (which features an illustration of a "Dragnet"-style police car), a Sony PlayStation Portable was listed, with bidding at $171. Among the "Fine jewelry items starting at $1" is a 1.5-carat diamond in white gold setting engagement ring, with bidding at a mere $710. There are plenty of car stereos, bikes, cell phones, TVs, even Paris Hilton brand perfume for $5. And also real estate. You can get a 7,500-square-foot plot of land near Alamo Beach, Texas, just blocks from the water, for $4,340. Outside of a four-piece Fantasy Knife Set that looks mildly menacing, there appear to be no weapons listed.
"Today's law enforcement agencies have property rooms full of stolen or forfeited goods. The rightful owners are not easily identified, and once property is no longer needed as evidence, it must be disposed of properly. Enter Property Room," the Web site explains.

The police keep poping up where eBay is concerned.
Major scam artist with over eight eBay accounts selling hundreds of cars and many not fit for the road and the police don't want to know when i reported being scammed.
the IPCC are a total joke too and we have no accantability when 89% of cases repoted to the IPCC go in the bin.
eBay even provides our police with so called special training and thats why the police do ask questions here about the size of eBay back pocket and won't investige 1000's of complaints.
it's not just our MP's that are fiddling the books i can tell you.
