East Whiteland Sells Township Vehicles

The township recently sold five township vehicles using Municibid, a website for government surplus auctions.

East Whiteland Township recently sold five vehicles at auction, whose winning bids totaled $27,736. 

Since the township started using Municibid, a website for online government surplus auctions, East Whiteland has been able to get much better prices on its auction vehicles than it had in smaller, local auctions, Director of Public Works Bill Steele said at East Whiteland's Board of Supervisors meeting on Nov. 9.

The vehicles sold at auction include a police car sold for $875 (which doesn't run, Steele said), and a 1999 dumptruck that sold for $16,801. The winning bid for one vehicle came from as far away as Michigan.
