The Town of South Hadley, MA Lists Surplus Canoes and Vehicles for Sale on Municibid
South Hadley, MA (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- In an online auction that started on July 2nd and ends on July 16th, the Town of South Hadley, MA is selling eight 16-ft Grumman canoes, an 8’ x 16’ double axel trailer, and a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria for additional non-tax revenue. By using an established, but innovative, online government auctions site specifically designed for municipalities, the Town of South Hadley is conducting a 2-week auction of its surplus items. The government agency is looking to garnish thousands of dollars to be put back into its budget.
The Town of South Hadley is using online auction site, Municibid.com to sell the items. Municibid was established in 2006 and has grown steadily since, with over 1,000 government agencies auctioning surplus through the efficient online system. The town is auctioning the surplus items online because the website has an established nationwide reach growing every day. Auctions on Municibid result in competitive bidding and fair prices for government surplus items.
South Hadley started using Municibid successfully in June to sell their surplus, including another police car and two Yamaha off-road bikes. Their last online auction netted thousands of dollars to go back into the agency’s budget.
Municibid Founder and CEO, Greg Berry said, “Taxpayer demand and tightened budgets require government agencies to look for new ways of increasing non-tax revenue. Municibid is an easy way to achieve this and at no cost to the agency.” Berry added, “Auction items will reach a much broader, national audience of competing bidders, leading to better net results.”
The Town of South Hadley’s online auction of their government surplus items ends on July 16th. Included in the auction are eight 16-ft Grumman canoes, each being sold separately. The canoes include paddles and life vests. These were used by the Police Department for the D.A.R.E. Program for several years but have not been used in the last 2 seasons. Also included in the auction is a 1992 8’ x 16’ double axel trailer with storage box, originally used to transport the canoes.
