Police auctions of confiscated or lost property take place locally and advertising is a matter for the individual force.

Government ministries and departments also make their own arrangements. The Ministry of Defence (MoD), for example, has a dedicated website for disposing of surplus stock, while the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) holds regular auctions of registration marks.

There are links to other stuff on that first link.

If you want police ones, it hints at giving your local station a shout mate - try that maybe?
