Upcoming live auction hopes to replicate ‘tremendous success’
By LYNN ADAMS SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

As you consider what you have, what you wish you had, what you never thought you’d have, have you ever thought about owning a municipal street sweeper or a garbage truck or a bucket truck? How about a backhoe or a street saw or even a dump truck? Who hasn’t dreamed of having their own ice machine or dumpster, or, better yet, their own storm siren? If nothing else, how about buckets of bolts, nuts and hardware?

If that sounds like it’s right up your alley, then a live auction the City of Sallisaw is planning to conduct by mid-October may be just the place you’ll want to be.

Sallisaw City Commissioners last week declared about 18 vehicles along with a handful of mowers and a lengthy list of assorted equipment and materials as surplus, and approved selling the items to the highest bidder.

Sallisaw City Manager Brian Heverly told the commissioners that the last live auction the city held was in 2021.

“We had a tremendous success the last time we did a live auction,” he said his research showed. “That is everything from individual vehicles to lot items of the old water meters that we’re taking out.”

The list provided for review by the commissioners included: Vehicles

1990 Chevrolet Kodiak 10-wheel drum truck 2000 Dodge 1500 half-ton pickup 2012 Tempo street sweeper 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab pickup 1998 Dodge Ram extended cab pickup 2007 Ford E350 passenger van 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 standard cab pickup 2003 Ford F-150 extended cab 4×4 pickup 2003 Ford Explorer SUV 2009 Ford Ranger extended cab 2WD 2006 Ford Explorer SUV 1988 Ford F-700 cab and chassis 2005 Sterling Aceterra 18-yard rear load sanitation truck 1989 Chevrolet Kodiak water truck 1990 Dodge flat bed dump pickup 1987 Volvo A25 water truck 2002 International 7300X 4×2 bucket truck EZ-Go golf cart Mowers
