Auction

Police online auction of unclaimed property

The Longview Police Department will soon be auctioning unclaimed property through the Internet, pursuant to Washington State Law.  The web site at www.propertyroom.com will be conducting the auction of Longview’s unclaimed property like it does for police departments across the nation.  The process is a much more profitable way to dispose of unclaimed properties.

A complete list of Longview’s auction items is available at the Longview Police Department through April 10, 2009, or viewable on this page.  Claims against property listed on the auction block must be made in writing to the Longview Police Department prior to April 10, 2009.  Interested persons may view the auction items and submit their bids by logging onto www.propertyroom.com on or after April 15, 2009.
 
All online auction items are contained within specific categories.  Simply click on a category and follow prompts for entering bids.  Bidding for unclaimed properties provided by Longview will commence on approximately April 15 and will continue until the date indicated on the site.  Bidders are responsible for shipping and handling of online purchases, and all sales are final.

The Longview Police Department has been using online auction services since September 2003 and has submitted over 2,500 items.  In 2008, 228 items were auctioned for a return of over $1,858.

The Longview Police Department makes no guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied, of any nature as to the condition of the goods offered for auction.

For additional information about the online auction, please call Ron Cryderman at 442.5819 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. , Monday through Friday.
