The Pennsylvania Department of General Services' Auction Blowout Tuesday at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg netted the state $77,920, according to Ed Myslewicz, a spokesman for the department.
The department hosts the auction to sell state and federal surplus items to the highest bidder, returning revenue to the state's general fund or the selling agency.
A go-cart, coffee tables, sinks, a piano, treadmills, exercise bikes, tools and other odds and ends filled one of the complex's warehouse-like buildings. A 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo netted $5,000 and a wooden Indian, about four or five feet tall, netted $1,500, Myslewicz said.
Five hundred sixty-one people bid on items Tuesday, Myslewicz said.
