Gila County recently issued the following announcement.
Need a dump-truck, cement mixer or crack-patcher? Or how ‘bout an in-the-bed toolbox for your truck . . . or a 1998 Dodge 2500 to accompany that truck-box you just bought? And here’s an intriguing auction item: you could be the winning bidder on either of two refrigerated Connex boxes -- just imagine converting one of those solid steel structures into an air-conditioned she-shed . . . nearly earthquake-proof bug-out shelter . . . or a unique guest house for your in-laws. Yessir, Gila County’s having a good ‘Ol fashioned live auction of vehicles and surplus equipment, and the rapid-fire patter of a guest auctioneer will nudge buyers to compete at the Russel Gulch Landfill on Saturday morning Sept. 18.
Prior to the start of the auction bidders must post a $100 deposit with the cashier to receive an official bidder number. Failure to pay for items will forfeit that $100 security. Bring cash, or cashier’s check – because credit cards and personal checks won’t be accepted. Potential bidders may walk the lot, literally kick the tires, and preview items from 8:00 – 9:00 a.m., then auction action begins at 9:30. All items must be paid for on auction day – and purchases must be driven, towed or hauled away that same day, too. And that $100 you invested? Winning bidders will have $100 deducted from the sale of the item, with the bidder paying the balance -- or being refunded the difference.
