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 October 15, 2011, or viewable online on the City’s web site at http://www.mylongview.com/police/auction.html.  Claims against property listed on the auction block must be made in writing to the Longview Police Department prior to October 15, 2011.  Interested persons may view the auction items and submit their bids by logging onto www.propertyroom.com on about October 20, 2011.
 
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 October 20 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 3,000 items.  In 2010, 185 items were auctioned for a return of over $2,196.00.
