What is the difference between Auction and GSA Auctions®?
An Auction is live at one location. The items are offered and called by an auctioneer. GSA holds an auction when there is a large number of items for sale in one location. Many of our car and truck sales are auctions. We use traditional auction methods. Prospective bidders will receive descriptions, bidding instructions, and an opportunity to inspect the merchandise ahead of time or on the day of sale. GSA Auctions® is an online auction. Online auction sales offer web-enabled auctions, a wide variety of personal property, electronic bidding, bids by proxy, and instant feedback. For other types of sales, please click on “Types of Sales” on the left panel.
