List,
I just cme from the local SASP (I think it stands for State and Surplus
Property) site. It's kind of a mini-DRMO operated by the State of Minnesota.
They gather Government surplus property there, issue some of it to local
governments, Civil Defense, County Sheriffs, Police Departments, and other
government agencies. After all of that, whatever is left is sold at auction.
I believe that the next auction will be on June 2nd. There are three of the
tool trailers that have been recent topics of conversation on this List
sitting in the lot. There are also several dual 5KW and dual 10KW generator
trailers, many 3/4 ton trailers, a couple of 400 gallon water buffalos, two
M62 wreckers, an M543 wrecker, a 20 ton crane, and several deuces. In a bit
of deja-vu I noticed that, according to the bumper numbers, two of the deuces
had "belonged" to me when I was in the National Guard about 5 years ago. It
is my understanding that most of these items will be offered for sale on June
2nd. Most of the stuff seems to be in pretty decent condition, especially
some of the deuces. Check the GSA website for the Heartland Region for a
complete list of items, in about another two to three weeks.
