Jackpot For Utah: How To Buy Things Confiscated by TSA

Every Year the TSA Has Thousands of Items Surrendered at Airports 

I have had to give up items at the security check at the airport. Mostly shampoo and water bottles. However, the TSA finds thousands of knives, slingshots, gun accessories and more every year. What happens to those items? 

If people decide to leave them, the TSA turns them over to the state the airport is in. The state can then decide what to do with them and usually sells them in lots. Where can you find these auctions?  

Each State Decides If They Will Sell Recovered Items

GoveDeals.com is one of the biggest locations where you can buy all sorts of recovered stuff from cars to pocketknives. All you have to is register an account and enter a bid on any of the lots you are interested in. As long as you pay for shipping it's yours. 

Looking at the site today I found an electric guitar, a wheelchair and an uncut sheet of never circulated $2 bills. These are of course items that were not collected by the TSA, as this is a place for governments to sell all kinds of recovered stuff.

There are a ton of items on here to look through. There were 26 pages of confiscated items when I visited. A bag of 30 or so butter knives has an open bid of $1. One lot has all sorts of Nerf guns starting at $10. I might have to put a bid on both and start a neighborhood war.
