Fall online surplus auction set for Oct.
19-22
FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has
announced that the 2024 Monmouth County fall surplus online auction will begin
on Saturday, Oct. 19, and continue through Tuesday, Oct. 22.
“Dozens of items such as vehicles, equipment and
other items will be available for bidding in our 2024 fall surplus online
auction,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the
Department of Public Works and Engineering. “By conducting the auction online, the
County can serve more participants and receive bids from other states, which
can generate more revenue for the County.”
The items to be sold, which come from various County
departments, may be inspected between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, and
Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the Monmouth County Public Works and Engineering Complex,
250 Center St., Building C, Freehold. Potential bidders with questions may
contact Mark Pajor at 732-431-7290, ext. 4.
“Monmouth County began auctioning its surplus
property online in 2008 and in almost two decades, those auctions have generated more than $4 million for the County, which is a direct
saving for taxpayers,” said Commissioner Dominick “Nick” DiRocco, liaison to
the Department of Finance. “Our spring and fall online auctions allow the
County to sell vehicles, equipment and other items that are no longer needed
and in doing so, provide this positive program for the County and its taxpayers.”
Successful bidders are required to pick
up their item(s) between Thursday, Oct. 24, and Friday, Oct. 25, between 9:30
a.m. and 3:30 p.m. by appointment only. Contact Mark Pajor at 732-431-7290,
ext. 4 – for lot number series 100, 200, 300 and 400.
Successful bidders who do not pick up their items at the
Public Works and Engineering Complex by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25 will be
liable for storage fees
equal to 2% of the sale price per business day or $25.00 per business day,
whichever is greater, until the merchandise is removed by the buyer, for up to
three business days.
The auction will be conducted by USGovBid/Auction
Liquidation Services. To participate in the auction, bidders must first register on the auctioneer’s website at www.usgovbid.com.
