Repossessed Boats?

April 14, 2004 7:31 AM

This morning, the landlord of the bar I work in text messaged me asking, "Ant, can you find a web site that sells boats seized by customs in the USA? Cheers." Of course, my first thought was eBay, but I'm wondering if there's some governmental or contracted company that does this sort of thing. Any ideas?

Stealitback.com (formerly PropertyRoom.com) allows you to purchase merchandise that was repossessed, confiscated, or used as evidence in criminal trials, but they don't seem to list any boats at the moment. You may want to check back on a regular basis, though.

I just did a search for "boat auction" and found a few. This one looks reputable.
Also, sometimes dovebid has boats.
