“PropertyRoom.com provides a vital service
to law enforcement,” said Tom Lane, founder and chairman
of PropertyRoom.com. “Nearly every department or
agency is required by law to get rid of the personal property
that it accumulates, but property rooms are overflowing with
items that have been unclaimed by or seized from their original
owners.”
Where departments before used occasional auctions
to dispose of property, they can now rely on PropertyRoom.com
to provide a complete, full-service solution.
“Today, with new rules about storing
certain evidence, police property rooms are getting more crowded,
and holding periodic parking lot auctions is inconvenient for
everyone.” said Lane. “PropertyRoom.com not
only takes care of hauling away the excess property, we also
sell the goods on the Internet for the benefit of the agency. In
the end, our clients can better devote their energies to what
they do best: law enforcement.”
A Unique Auction Site
PropertyRoom.com is unique among online auction
sites such as eBay and Overstock.com because its processing centers
actually collect, transport, store, inspect and prepare items
for sale on its Web site. And because items are bought
directly from PropertyRoom.com, buyers are assured of the quality
and security of their transaction.
“Unlike other online auction sites,
PropertyRoom stands behind each transaction,” said Lane. “Buyers
are assured that they are getting their merchandise from a trusted
source. Everything comes through our central processing
centers or from our trusted third-party merchant sellers, and
all of our transactions are fraud-free.”
PropertyRoom.com works with some of the largest
law enforcement agencies in the country, including the New York
Police Department, City of Los Angeles Police Department, Seattle
Police Department, King County (WA) Police Department, Pinellas
County (FL) Police Department, City of San Diego Police Department,
Cincinnati Police Department, Broward County (Fort Lauderdale)
Sheriff, Indianapolis Police Department and Boston Police Department. In
addition to partnerships with these agencies, PropertyRoom.com
also partners with select merchant sellers to expand the selection
of items offered to consumers.
