March 5, 2008 Sylvester, GA The City of Sylvester, GA has selected GovDeals {www.govdeals.com) a state-of-the-art, online auction service for Local, State and Federal government agencies to conduct online sales of their surplus vehicles, equipment and assets.
"GovDeals will help us get the most money out of our surplus vehicles, equipment and assets by offering them to a wider base of buyers through the Internet. The bottom line is more money returned to the taxpayers,” said Shad Faulkner of the City of Cumming. “We can now sell assets year-round instead of storing and waiting for an annual auction. In addition to getting more money for surplus assets we also reduce storage and handling costs and vehicle and equipment depreciation,” Faulkner continued.
A recent study by the State of Tennessee showed that equipment and assets brought 47% more sold through GovDeals than via live public auctions. GovDeals is endorsed by the GMA (Georgia Municipal Association) and the ACCG (Association of County Commissioners of Georgia.)
Items for sale will be posted continuously on the web and can be accessed through www.govdeals.com. Bidders can register free of charge at the GovDeals website.
