No Giveaways. Stories about $100 yachts or exotic cars sold for little or nothing are pure fiction. GSA expects—and gets— a fair market price. GSA has a responsibility to the taxpayers to receive the best possible return on the tax dollar when they are sold.
No Guarantees. GSA does not guarantee the condition of sale items. We encourage you to inspect personal property before sale. GSA will inform a customer of any deficiencies prior to sale. We are not responsible for any problems identified after the sale.
