Chula Vista’s Southwestern College is looking to sell off more than 330 surplus items through a public auction over the next couple of weeks.
The college’s annual surplus auction includes various transport and maintenance vehicles, exercise equipment – from free weights and benches to stationary bikes – computers, printers, office appliances and electronics, including projectors. The auction even includes a chance to bid on a first aid doll, so the merchandise lineup does vary.
All auction items were at one point used by the college, but have since been retired or replaced, organizers said.
The online auction, which can be accessed here, begins closing at exactly 10:37 a.m. on Sept. 1. After it closes on the first item, the auction will then close at a rate of five items per minute through the last item on the list.
The college will host an onsite viewing of the items on Aug. 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Southwestern College warehouse in building 1100 so bidders can inspect the items they are interested in purchasing in person. The campus is located at 900 Otay Lakes Rd.
Bidders who win an auction item can pick up their item at the campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on either Sept. 2 or Sept. 3.
