Various computer and electronic equipment and office furniture will be among the items available for purchase at the state of Ohio surplus auction Saturday, Jan. 19. The auction will be held at the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, General Services Division headquarters, 4200 Surface Road, Columbus. The doors open at 8 a.m.; the auction will begin at 9 a.m. The sale will be conducted by Cassel & Associates.
A variety of laptop computers, file cabinets,
outboard boat motors, microscopes and three big screen televisions will be auctioned. Purchased items must be paid for
in full the day of the sale. Cash and credit cards are accepted and Cassel & Associates
must approve all methods of payment other than cash. All purchased items must be picked up
by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23. Regular auction warehouse hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday. The warehouse is open until 6 p.m. on the day of the auction. 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. Warehouse and vehicle auctions have
generated about $2.3 million to date during fiscal year 2008.
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 higher education facilities,
tax-supported agencies, municipal corporations and other political subdivisions of the state,
including public schools. Remaining property is sold at the public auctions. Auction merchandise
also includes items collected by the Transportation Security Administration from airline passengers. |
