Items from Detroit's recently closed Southwestern High School may soon be "going, going, gone" after an upcoming auction hoped to save the school district thousands.
Detroit Public Schools will be holding an auction to liquidate the building's contents on the website Biddergy.com Thursday, Oct. 18, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The pilot program is expected to save up to $85,000 in costs associated with moving items to a warehouse. In the past, when schools closed, items were brought to one location, sorted and auctioned later.
In addition to run-of-the-mill school desks and furniture, the auction will also feature petri dishes, a Snapple refrigerator, pole vaulting pads, a powermatic lathe, a hot dog steamer, an electric "Rascal" chair and a trampoline. Looking to start a restaurant? There's also plenty of commercial kitchen equipment.
