Government Surplus at government auction in Ohio come from the same places they do everywhere: agencies replacing them on a schedule, departments closing or consolidating, and property seized or abandoned and sold by the county. The seller's name is on every listing, the photos show the condition, and most sales are pickup only at the location listed, so the distance to Columbus is part of the price. Our everything is sold as-is tip applies here as much as anywhere: Government sellers rarely guarantee condition. Read the description closely and inspect when you can.
