Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services (BGS) has announced the auction of a large assortment of State vehicles and equipment on Saturday, May 11 at 10 AM at the Agency of Transportation Central Garage in Berlin. Gates will open on Saturday at 8 AM. The event is open to the public and will take place rain or shine. Inventory preview and pre-registration will take place Friday, May 10 from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Historically a popular and engaging event, the auction will offer opportunities to bid for dump trucks, plow trucks, loaders, forklifts, trucks, cars, golf carts, snowmobiles, trailers, boats, kayaks, snowblowers, riding lawnmowers, generators, tires, and assorted parts and power tools.
In past years, this annual destination event has totaled between $600,000 and over $1 million for 100-300 lots of merchandise, drawing bidders from Quebec and across New England.
“This is an opportunity to pick up high-quality equipment in great shape at an incredible discount,” said Sarah Grenier, who is helming the event for the State. “We get inquiries year-round – there’s a lot of anticipation and excitement to see what will be up for auction. Municipalities, in particular, are always excited to get great deals on the heavy equipment they need.”
The auction will also feature a booth with airport sharps, including multitools, scissors, pocket knives, corkscrews, hand tools, hunting knives, and other items collected at airport screening checkpoints, available beginning at 8 AM on Saturday.
