Surplus Auction Scheduled for Nov. 27

It may not be Christmas shopping material, unless Santa is delivering a Dake 30-ton hydraulic press, but there will be bargains at the Nova Scotia Government surplus auction Saturday, Nov. 27.

The auction will be held at the Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal warehouse, 10 Acadia St., Dartmouth. The items can be viewed on auction day between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.

In addition to the aforementioned hydraulic press, bargain hunters will find equipment such as a backhoe, a road grader, snowmobiles, several vans and trucks, a boat trailer, a ride-on mower/snowplow, pressure washers, lathes, milling machines, welders, snow shoes, assorted filing cabinets, office furniture, televisions, GPS units, cameras, VCRs, and lighting fixtures. A partial list of items and photos will be posted at www.gov.ns.ca/tran/hottopics/auction.asp a few days before the auction.

The auction will be conducted by Auction Advantage. Payment must be made by cash, debit or auctioneer-approved cheque. Credit cards will not be accepted.

A canteen will be on site with proceeds going to the United Way campaign. Money earned through the auction is used to help pay down the provincial debt.
