Payment can be made by cash or credit card. There is no fee charged for credit card transactions.

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, including public schools. Remaining property is sold at the public auctions.
