There will be a fleet of police Chevrolet Caprices, a couple of street sweepers and even a fire truck. Every year, for more than 15 years, the city has pooled it's surplus stock and put the whole lot of it up for auction to the public, and in all those years some pretty weird things have come up for sale. There has been everything from a casket to a mink coat. The sale at the Civic Center starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, and the merchandise preview starts at 8. There is no fee to register, which gets you an assigned bidding number, and there is no minimum bid.
Buyers can pay straight up with cash or with a check and a letter of credit from the bank.
Items from the sale come from different city departments or were confiscated police items. Money from the auction goes into the city's general fund. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved. Site users are subject to our User Agreement . We also have a Privacy Policy .
