Manchester School Surplus Equipment Auction to be Held Online Tuesday, July 7th, 2015

Manchester Schools will be auctioning off surplus equipment this Tuesday, July 7th 2015 beginning at 8am and ending at 8pm. The auction will take place on the Biddergy Website. In order to bid, you will need to register with Biddergy.com.

The equipment is currently stored in the Ackerson Gymnasium in the Ackerson Building at 410 City Road. The auction will include furniture, electronics, kitchen equipment, and other items. Buyers will be responsible for removing purchased items.

Superintendent Cherie Vannatter said, “An online auction is a concept that has been used by many districts recently. It is a much less labor intensive process for our staff. We have many items – chairs, desks, partitions, etc., that are no longer needed by the district and many items have been in storage for over ten years. We are hoping other districts with a need for these items will purchase them.”

Note: the date of this auction has changed several times. Please check Biddergy’s Website to confirm date and time.

Biddergy.com is a Kalamazoo-based auction company that specializes in large liquidation sales for governments, schools, businesses and other larger institutions.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
