Not enough information. Depends on why it was seized, and if you are found guilty of whatever they accused you of.
It has probably been auctioned, but it also sounds like they had no justification for keeping it. I would call them and tell them that you want your stuff. If they say that they do not have it, I would contact a free-consultation attorney and find out if you have a case (even if small claims) and get your stuff back.

Things that are legal like cars, boats, etc. are auctioned off. It's a great place to buy a used car for super cheap. I assume they must do similar things with electronics.

They are held in evidence and examined by detectives or specialists. If the item is not illegal it is returned once it is no longer needed as evidence.
You have to request the items be returned to you.

They will usually auction them off unless they are held for an ongoing investigation.

Police auction, if the items are not returned to you.
