State to auction 280-plus vehicles, boats Saturday
(Columbus) – More than 280 vehicles will be available for bid when State
and Federal Surplus hosts an auction Saturday, Aug. 18 at 4200 Surface Road, Columbus.
The vehicles include cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles and boats.
The auction begins at 10 a.m. Gates open at 8 a.m. Vehicles may be inspected Aug. 13 through 17. Vehicle engines may be started only on Aug. 17 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A minimum payment of 25 percent may be made on the day of the auction with the balance due by 2 p.m. the following Monday. Deposits will be forfeited to the State
of Ohio in the event of late payment. Successful bidders will be able to purchase 30-day temporary license tags at the auction for a cash payment of $10.50.
Surplus property auctions provide the general public an opportunity to purchase quality goods at reduced prices and enable the state to recoup
a portion of its initial investment. Surplus vehicle auctions generated almost $3 million for the state's investment recovery fund during fiscal year 2007.
Public auctions are the last step in the state’s surplus program.
State agencies declare property as surplus because it is damaged or at the end of its life cycle for
government use. The property is then made available to other state agencies, state colleges
and universities, tax-supported agencies, municipal corporations and other political subdivisions
of the state. Remaining property is sold at the public auctions.
