Anyone know anything about how to find vehicle auctions - in particular with vehicles and motorcycles.

I search for this kind of thing, but I seem to hit a lot of scam sites.

Contact the local law enforcement people. They handle all that.

Or do mean like cars and trucks for the resale market?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

I think you are right. Over in parts of NJ and NY the law enforcement groups confiscate a lot of stuff. In NY, if you are caught driving drunk - they can take your car/vehicle.

So, I'm wondering if I might catch a deal on a bike at an auction of confiscated material.

I'm no seller or re-seller of cars. Don't have the stomach for it.

I don't know about there, but around here you have to register with the agency that handles the auction. You get to look at the vehicles on every other Tuesday and submit bids on Wednesday. The winning bidder must pay in cash and remove the vehicle on the day of the sale.

I'll have to check in to it. I know there are some similar rules here on some of the auctions I have been actually able to locate. Some will let you not pay and hold things for a while... And charge you for each day they have to store it etc.

Sunflowers are awesome, dude. I definitely want to grow some. Then, of course I want to watch samurai champloo some more to search for the sunflower samurai...
