The new eBay?

It's at propertyroom.com, and it's the NYPD's clearinghouse for everything imaginable seized by police.

98% of what's posted online for auction sells. The origin of the property is unknown to the buyer and the auctioneer. The site was begun under the name stealitback.com, which still takes you there.
