Government surplus auctions and sales are big business.  You’ll find anything from planes and submarines to dishwashers and jewelry.

Help lower the deficit by purchasing surplus items from the government.  They may have paid ten times more for it then they should have, but they’ll be happy to sell it to you for ten times less!

Even if you don’t purchase, some of the sites are better than the Sears Catalog for browsing.

Guide to Federal Government Sales - A comprehensive overview of do’s and don’ts, especially when purchasing big ticket items.

Defense Reutilization and Marketing Services - Here’s a scary one.

Government Sales and Auctions -  Locate Federal, State, and tribal government surplus auctions and sales.  Also has links to souvenir, memorabilia, and other gift shop surplus.  Links to cars and real estate.

Army Surplus Warehouse - Another scary one for all you G.I. Joes.  No guns.

GSA Auctions - “Your offical link to government surplus and seized property.”  Seized property.  Hmmm, that sounds interesting.  Buy anything from a 180 ft navigation ship to a silver necklace.

U.S. Government Bookstore Bargains - Very cool if you’re into books.

And because of deregulation, a final site for scam protection:
Government Auction Site Reviews - Gotta have scam protection.

Anyone know of any other good sites?
