All levels of government are looking for ways to generate revenue. One way is to take advantage of an immense marketplace online:
“…New York state has brought in about $658,000 in online surplus sales through eBay during the 2008-09 fiscal year that will end March 31. The state is selling things like lab supplies, scrap metal and a lot of World War II steel helmets. Like most other states, New York also has traditional auctions at state sites for vehicles and equipment and had brought in $3.5 million by the end of October.”

Police departments have been doing this for some time now at the propertyroom.com. What is striking about the government items is that the legislative bodies own some very strange stuff… on our behalf.
