It’s not exactly like the TV shows “Pawn Stars” or “Storage Wars,” but bidders will have a chance to purchase a variety of items from Soddy-Daisy during an auction this morning.
Nearly three years’ worth of confiscated and abandoned items ranging from cars to guns are up for bid. Potential buyers will have an hour to look through the items, which include 15 vehicles, beginning at 8 a.m. today. The auction kicks off at 9 a.m. and is expected to last until about noon.
Burt Johnson, the city finance director and recorder, expects more than 100 bidders to show up and $10,000 to $40,000 to be raised.
“Most of this eventually gets released to the city and it’s been piling up over the years,” Johnson said.
