- aidenn0 3y agoFirst of all, it's great that you were able to effect change here. It's a bit of a shame that that part wasn't mentioned in TFA until the last paragraph. Are there lots of other companies that might be selling unwiped phones from civil forfeiture, or does PropertyRoom run most of the market?
- dml-at-umd 3y agoThanks for the kind words! We looked for other police auction websites; the only other US-based one we found was GovDeals. We analyzed their police auctions and found they paled in comparison to PropertyRoom. As far as we can tell, PropertyRoom is the major player.
