Auction News

Montana to sell surplus property on Net

HELENA �\ The state of Montana may soon be selling surplus desks, cars and even heavy equipment at an on-line auction house, thanks to a money-savings tip from two state employees.

The idea, the brainchild of two Department of Public Health and Human Services employees, earned the pair the first awards in the governor's Efficiency Award Program, given out Thursday on the Capitol steps.

"We could get a much higher return if we put these items on eBay," Schweitzer said, shortly before giving both Brian LaMoure and Darren Steiner engraved palladium award coins made from ore mined at the Stillwater Mine near Nye.

Schweitzer started the program shortly after he took office, inviting state employees to submit ideas on how to save or generate more money in state government. The plan grows out of earlier efforts under way since 1981. Under Schweitzer's plan, the governor picks one good idea every month and rewards that state employee with a palladium coin donated by Stillwater Mine and the chance to get up to $500 of the saved or earned state cash.

The coin bears the likeness of a bison on one side and Lewis and Clark on the other.

"Like palladium, state employees are only found in Montana," Schweitzer said, and like palladium, which is mostly used in catalytic converters and other industrial uses, the metal is a worker, not a decoration.

Right now, the state sells about $2 million a year in surplus equipment, Schweitzer said. A lot of that is leftover desks, chairs, retired copiers, even office organizers, said Dave Hickman, warehouse supervisor in the State and Federal Surplus Property Program. Additionally, cars and trucks from the state motor pool and other agencies are systematically retired and sold once they hit a certain age or rack up a set amount of miles. All that, plus heavy equipment from the Department of Transportation, is up for sale, he said.

Workers from other state agencies, colleges and universities, county and local governments can come by the warehouse and buy things at any time, Hickman said.

Once a month, the warehouse opens its doors to the public for a sort of state surplus garage sale. Twice a year, they host a big auction for cars, trucks and heavy equipment.

"Most of the time at auction, they bring more than what we're asking for them," Hickman said.

Marvin Eicholtz, head of the General Services Division, which oversees the surplus property warehouse, said he's not envisioning an on-line auction replacing the current set-up. Government agencies would still get first crack at all surplus and the garage sale and auctions would not be phased out.

The agency is considering a pilot project that would feature a few items "attractive enough for people to come here and get them."

"We want to avoid getting in the shipping business," Eicholtz said.

They're also trying to find a way to offer an on-line auction that wouldn't cut Montana businesses out of the loop or price equipment beyond their reach, especially since those same businesses and their employees paid the taxes that bought the equipment in the first place.

"That's part of the problem," Eicholtz said. "We'd want to make sure that all our customers know what we're doing before we go out and do something like this."

It's also not certain that eBay, the best-known on-line auction house, would end up as the site the state picks to sell its surplus. Because eBay takes a cut of the sale price, the site may not be the cheapest way for the state to sell on-line, Eicholtz said.

Still, he's envisioning a limited on-line auction as early as this fall.

The state of Oregon sells surplus equipment on line and increased the amount of money generated by 200 percent, Schweitzer said.

Steiner and LaMoure, although they work in the same agency, didn't actually meet each other until moments before the awards ceremony and didn't plan their submission together.

Steiner, who once lived in Oregon, came up with the idea when his office was selling surplus equipment.

LaMoure said he came up with the idea after he took an eBay class at the Career Training Institute in Helena.

"At a garage sale, you sell at the lowest price," he said. "At an auction, you sell at the highest."

The governor's office has received more than 1,000 submissions at its "good ideas" Web site, https://app.discoveringmontana.com/ideas/. Although, only state and university system employees are entered into the efficiency award program, anybody can submit an idea to the governor's office. The ideas don't have to deal with saving money.

Farm auctions

Fall sale set for 88 acres.

The municipally owned 88-acre E. Barclay farm will go on the auction block Sept. 23.
Max Spann of Max Spann Auctioneers, Clinton, gave a presentation to the Township Committee at its meeting Monday on how his company would market the farm, located on Ancil Davison Road, to potential bidders.

The township hired Spann Auctioneers in May to auction the E. Barclay, the 60-acre Barclay North and 130-acre Barclay South properties.
The Barclay North and South auctions will not be scheduled until after litigation brought against township connected to an earlier attempt to auction off the properties is either settled or adjudicated. Mr. Spann said his firm has taken aerial photographs of the E. Barclay property, which is deed-restricted as preserved farmland, for a brochure package that will be mailed to 7,000 interested farmers. He said that, in addition to the mailings, his firm will advertise in five or six newspapers three to four weeks before the auction.

Mr. Spann said the property will be listed on the Spann Associates Web site and linked from the Cranbury Township Web site.
No minimum bid has been set for the farm as of yet, according to an associate at Max Spann Auctioneers.
The township purchased the farm in June of 2004 for $3.4 million and added a restriction on its deed after its owners declined an offer from the state to enter into the state farmland preservation program.

The Township Committee endorsed a building exception in February that would allow a new owner to build a home on the property. Previously, the township restricted the land to agricultural use without a provision for residential construction.

Airport Auctions Abandoned cars.

The auction will be held next Saturday morning, August 6th, starting at 9:00 in the morning at the airport impound lot 4812 South Avenue. That's on West Shore Boulevard off Hillsborough Avenue. If you want to bid on a car you have to pay with cash or by MasterCard or Visa.

Tampa, Florida - It's more than just a place to get on or off an airplane -- Tampa International Airport is a shopper's paradise. You can buy ties, surf boards, flip flops, footballs, jewelry, and of course used cars.

Airport bargain hunters will have the opportunity to buy the vehicle of their dreams... or their nightmares, at the semi annual airport abandoned car auction.

Brenda Geohagan, Tampa International Airport:
�gAt the auction six months ago, the least expensive was a $10 Protege. The most expensive was $2,100.�h

From a Mercedes to a BMW, Mercury, 2003 Honda Motorcycle, the Aviation Authority is giving out better deals than employee pricing.

And while the prices of these beauties may be so low they're insane, keep in mind they are as is. And some have to be towed off the lot to get them home.

The airport takes possession of the vehicles after they've been in the parking garage for more than 45 days. In order to reclaim their car, the owner has to pay the parking and storage fees. Some owners decide it's too high a price to pay.

Brenda Geohagan, Tampa International Airport:
�gAnd a lot of times the owners brought it here to abandon it anyway. They've brought it here and decided they just don't want the car.�h

And while it's not the type of car sale most people go to, if you're looking for a high-flying bargain on a low rent ride, this may be your kind of sale.

Fine Art Coup For Dublin Business.

IRELAND'S leading auction house, James Adam & Sons, has been assigned HOK Fine Art's business, further increasing its share of the Irish fine art market.

From next week HOK's Fine Art department in Blackrock will transfer business to Adam's which will now handle the entire fine art valuations, sales and clients from its centrally located St Stephen's Green auction house.

Conducting over 12 Irish, Modern and Fine Art sales each year at Adam's, HOK clients will benefit from the specialist expertise offered by Adam's professional valuers and auctioneers.

James O'Halloran, Adam's managing director, tells me: "This move consolidates Adam's position as the premier auction house in Ireland and strengthens our form in the fine art field.

"HOK Fine Art's business model fits comfortably with our existing practice."

Aidan O'Hogan, chairman of HOK Residential, says he is delighted with the new partnership.

"With the continued expansion of our Dublin network of brand offices and the increasing market share of our Country Property department, the board believes our clients' needs, in relation to Fine Art valuations and sales, will be better served by a dedicated specialist professional auction house, like Adam's."

The Positive Club

�gOne of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon--instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.�h

"Laugh at yourself and at life.
