There's definitely something shady about this website and I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything from here. I reached out to customer support multiple times (in search of a package that went missing and potentially ended up in their warehouse). Every time, I was forced to chat where their ai bot. The bot keep repeating the same lines over and over again, regardless of what you actually said. I was told someone would get back to me soon and have yet, to ever hear from a real person. This website is more then likely a front for other scams...

They are not a government auction site they were Houghton it now full of car dealers that want to dump cars that will not move at dealer auctions so they list them here . I have been buying for years but it has downgraded to place dealers can dump their trash on people who think it was government au lions only . They should change the name and come out of the shadows or a government entity. 97% is listed by dealers that you would never deal with

I purchased a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe through GovDeals from Automotive Depot LLC after being told the vehicle appeared clean and that no rust was seen. After delivery, the vehicle was found to have extensive visible rust and corrosion, including severe rocker panel, wheel well, and underbody deterioration, along with a large rusted-through hole in the driver-side front fender. The condition was materially different from the listing photos and pre-sale representations. I immediately attempted to resolve the issue with both the seller and GovDeals, but the concerns were largely dismissed and no meaningful effort was made to address the significant discrepancy between the represented and actual condition of the vehicle.

I will never use this site again. $30,000 invested into a Skid Loader I was told needed nothing by City of Jacksonville (Jesse) and Govdeals description. Machine needs $20,000-30,000 in repairs. Caution!!!!!

Bought a 2014 bus from Joplin Public school district. Picked it up yesterday. They had stated that they were selling the bus without the tires shown in pictures but the bus would have tires. It had two tires on the rear instead of 4 and the tires barely had any tread. I could live with that.... but I took off and with in 2 miles it started overheating.... pulled over and found a ball valve for the rear heaters was leaking coolant. They had removed a 2 foot hose from the ball valve that went to another ball valve. I made it to a truck stop, and filled it with coolant. Had to remove ball valves and install 1" plug. So coolant problem solved... tried to start and just clicked.... jumped it, still clicked... Bus had two batteries in the battery compartment but I noticed 6" battery cables still connected to the other batteries...put in a third battery and started right up... they brought the bus up to the office for me and I noticed that 3 mechanics were trying to close the door on the battery compartment. Didn't think much about it until I started going over the chain of events.... can't start bus with just two batteries... they had to have started the bus then removed the third battery...CHICKEN-SHIITES. So... they put two tires on the rear of a dually the caused a death wobble at 35 mph, removed a water hose that caused it to over heat... removed a third battery so It couldn't start .... that sure sounds like sabotage. SO BUYER BEWARE OF JOPLIN PUBLIC SCHOOL BUS BARN!!!!!

Used to be a good site however now they have started letting private companies and individuals list things for sale which completely defeats the point of a website called GOVdeals. You now have to sift through a bunch of junk and sketchy no name dealers in order to find actual government listings. They also ruined the site with the redesign, it looks completely the same except for moving everything around and for the pages of items to not hold their place in the list and get resorted every time you refresh or go to a different page number.

BUYER BEWARE!!! I purchased a gold item that turned out to be counterfeit. GovDeals support was absolutely NO help. I even reached out to corporate, who responded by sending me a letter from their legal department. The seller defrauded me of thousands, and GovDeals kept their auction fee. Save your money and do business elsewhere.
