The last auction was April 9, 2008. Most likely the next auction will
be scheduled sometime in Fall 2008. See McCormack Auction website
for details (link below).
In
the past, we have conducted 2 to 3 surplus auctions annually, as the
need requires. It will be held at our new location at 9315 Hillery
Drive, San Diego, California. The only preview time for the items
will be held on the auction day, just a couple of hours before the
auction start time. We invite businesses, as well as individuals to
participate in the auctions. Generally there is a $200 refundable
cash deposit per person to be able to bid on items. However, we have
made arrangements for the cash deposit to be waived for SDCCD students
with proper identification. Employees of the District are NOT permitted
to bid.
If
you are an individual, and wish to make an individual purchase for
any high-interest items (e.g., one computer, one sewing machine),
bring your wish to the attention of the auctioneer prior to the auction
so that an modification may be made, if possible.
Each
auction has various items. The following are examples of the types
of items typically included: analyzers; bookcases; cameras; chairs;
cabinets; copiers; desks; fax machines; LCD projectors; microcomputers;
monitors; player/recorders; printers; radios; refrigerators; sanders;
saws; scanners; sewing machines; shredders; stereos; tables; TV's;
typewriters; VCR's; vehicles; video equipment; workbenches; workstation;
zip drives, and much more.
All
items purchased at an auction need to be picked up within 3 (three)
business days following the event. However, some large items (i.e.,
airplanes, cars, fire engines, machine shop equipment) may be located
at other sites, and specific pick-up arrangements will be made.
We anticipate making arrangements again with the McCormack
Auction Co. to conduct the auction. Details about the auction
are posted on their website. There is also an opportunity to sign
up for their mailing list, as they conduct auctions for numerous schools
and businesses in the San Diego area.
