Alabama state surplus auction: Where to find trucks, body armor, medical equipment
There are plenty of pick-up trucks, boats, filing cabinets, desks, computer equipment, and warehouse lights in this weekend’s online auction of surplus state property.
But the latest haul also includes several notable items such as a forklift, body armor, a medical freezer, a medical exam table, and an animal control truck bed.
Thousands of items will be up for bid this weekend, starting today and lasting until 6 p.m. Sunday, July 20. The auction is sponsored by the Surplus Property Division of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
The auction is already drawing attention. A 2021 Ford F-150 pick-up truck, in the first three hours of the auction, already had 7 bids and was up to $101.
