General Information

Public auctions are held by the Police Department on a periodic basis throughout the year. Merchandise sold is either unclaimed or items for which the Police Department has been unable to locate an owner. The Police Department does not sell land, cars or boats at these auctions.

All merchandise is sold to the highest bidder and must be paid for on the premises immediately after the item is sold. Sales tax is added to the purchase price. All merchandise is sold "as is". There is no warranty on anything sold at a police auction. Merchandise cannot be returned and money will not be refunded. Personal checks on local banks will be accepted with proper identification. Credit cards will not be accepted for payment. A 7.75% sales tax will be added to the purchase price.

The San Diego Police Department does not maintain a mailing list for auction information. There is no inventory of sale items available. Merchandise viewing is from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on the day of the sale. Auctions begin at 10:00 a.m.
