The scrap value of the truck exceeds the bid received. I further recommend the truck be relisted for sale to highest bidder at the Dutchess County sale of Surplus Equipment upcoming in November. The truck would be listed on line in a virtual auction by a professional auctioneer in a manner similar to ebay.com. The auctioneer would take photos and list a description of the truck, and the truck would be located to the Dutchess County Auto Center on Salt Point Turnpike to be available for viewing. The attendant at the auto center would demonstrate the truck if requested to prospective bidders. I feel this method would give the sale much greater exposure thus commanding a higher sale price. There is a 10% fee for this service, again I feel this cost would be offset by the higher expected return. We would be required to relocate the truck to Salt point which my department can accommodate, and would need to hand over the Certificate of Title signed to offer for sale. Thank you.
