Written by WKTN Staff on November 13, 2019
COLUMBUS — A welder, pallet jack and various kitchen equipment are among the assortment of items that will be available at the State’s miscellaneous property auction this Saturday.
A wide variety of computer equipment (e.g., laptops, monitors, and printers) and electronic appliances (e.g., copiers, audio and video equipment, and cassette recorders) also will be auctioned.
The auction will be held Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS), General Services Division headquarters, 4200 Surface Road, Columbus, 43228. The doors open at 8 a.m. and the auction begins at 9 a.m.
Inventory is subject to prior sale to governmental entities. All inventory will be sold “as-is” with no warranty or guarantee of any kind.
Purchased items must be paid for in full the day of the sale. Cash and credit cards (Visa, Discover and MasterCard only) are accepted. Credit and debit cards are charged a 3 percent service fee. Certain methods of payment are subject to IRS regulations. Inventory may be inspected Friday, Nov. 15 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The warehouse is open until 5 p.m. on the day of the auction. All items must be removed by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20. All participants must register at the auction.
Public auctions are the last step in the state’s surplus program. State agencies declare property as surplus because it is either damaged or at the end of its life cycle for government use. In addition, property may include items seized by law enforcement officials as well as items surrendered to the TSA by airline passengers during security screenings. 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.
