Business Liquidations at government auction in Ohio come from the same places they do everywhere: agencies replacing them on a schedule, departments closing or consolidating, and property seized or abandoned and sold by the county. The seller's name is on every listing, the photos show the condition, and most sales are pickup only at the location listed, so the distance to Columbus is part of the price. Our count the fees tip applies here as much as anywhere: Buyer’s premiums and documentation fees vary by auction. Check each site’s terms before you bid.
