Westport, MA (PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- In an online auction that started on July 15th and ends on July 29th, the Town of Westport, MA is selling a 1974 Ford dump truck, a 1977 GMC dump truck, a 1995 Ford pickup truck, and other vintage work trucks for additional non-tax revenue. By using an established, but innovative, online government auctions site specifically designed for municipalities, the Town of Westport is conducting a 2-week auction of its surplus items.
