In the market for a vintage 1962 Baker forklift?

How about a floor scrubber, leaf blower or bailing press?

A 200-watt siren that’s sure to delight your neighbors?

The city and other local agencies are unloading their cast off goods in one gigantic auction 10 a.m. Saturday at the city’s municipal shop, 1400 NE 16th Ave., Oak Harbor.

Viewing starts at 8 a.m.

The city is hosting the auction but it also includes dozens of items from Island County, Oak Harbor School District and North Whidbey Fire and Rescue. This year the city of Coupeville also is participating.

There are fewer items to choose from this year but more vehicles — 28 of them. They tend to be a big draw, said Sandra Place, the city’s budget and purchasing specialist. On the list are a number of 1990s trucks, including a Ford F-350.

Expect to see like items bundled and sold together, such as a pallet of phones. The mix of items includes random odd items: a suitcase, shot clocks, cassette recorder, child car seats, drums, furniture, a compressor, hanging planters, pianos and two kilns.

The city is getting rid of the stone fountain seal that sprinkled water on countless Oak Harbor children at City Beach.

Might need to get that one for when the grandkids’ visit.

The city of Oak Harbor has dabbled with selling things on eBay, including in one case a fire truck. That worked fine, Place said, but this is a more efficient way to move a lot of goods.

The auction last year netted the city $79,000.

An auction isn’t held every year. When the economic downturn hit, local agencies put off replacing some items. Now that times are better, they’re off loading outdated and unwanted items.

In the past, hundreds of people have showed up for the auction, including taxi companies from outside the state interested in Crown Vics.

The city hired auctioneer Harold Mather to lead the auction. His company based in Tacoma handles other auctions with public agencies, including selling items from the South Pole for the National Science Foundation.

It’s worth going just to see him in action.

He’s a sight, leading the auction from the back of a moving pick up.

“He really knows how to ramp up the excitement,” Place said.
