"The Post Office is no novice to traditional auctions, having used them to dispose of undeliverable mail since the early 1900s. Every 6-8 weeks, the USPS would hold auctions at their three Mail Recovery Centers (MRCs) in Atlanta, St. Paul and San Francisco...."

I don't think there even is such as a thing as a 'lost mail freight 
auction'. I keep hearing about how the US mail will deliver a letter from 1952 that 
they found under a 40 ton sorting machine, etc. 

Think about this:
It is highly unlikely that the part would be undeliverable since the box it 
came in would have had both a destination and return address, and there would 
also be a shipping manifest or invoice that would also have the destination 
and address. I believe the mail service would have returned the part to the 
sender before they put it up for auction. 

My guess is that this was stolen off someone's porch.
