Public Auctions
Public auctions are held primarily for the disposal of motor vehicles and off road equipment and are usually scheduled annually. Notices are published in the local newspaper, this website and/or other media which provide information about the upcoming auction. The City holds its auctions at the Equipment Services Center located at 800 North Broad Street in Gastonia.
Internet Auctions
The City of Gastonia has expanded its surplus disposal methods to include online Internet auctions for the sale of surplus personal property. Select property will be auctioned through the online auction services of GovDeals (www.govdeals.com) & JJ Kane Auctioneers (www.jjkane.com). These services provide the City with the opportunity to dispose of surplus on an ongoing basis.
You must register with each respective provider in order to bid on an item, but you do not have to register to view what items are available. All items are sold "as is, where is" and the City of Gastonia reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
