The county experimented with an online auction in 2007 by selling just two large items on the World Wide Web, and the county nearly doubled its expected price. Since then all of the county’s auctions have been conducted online. Last year’s auctions netted $572,912 for the county.

 

The county anticipates holding at least one additional surplus auction in the fall.
