Construction equipment at Dutchess County surplus vehicle auction

Scrolling through the myriad of cars, vans, and SUVs, a few special vehicles stand out from the crowd, like a working forklift with a current bid of $475 and a John Deere loader listed as “working and functioning as intended” with a current bid of $9,400 (see below). There are also a few vehicles that could be described as more like toys.

Water lovers might be interested in a paddle boat that could optimistically be described as “vintage” and is currently bidding at $1, an aluminum row boat that is also listed for $1, or round paddle boats that are currently bidding at $25 (see below).

Both serious shoppers looking for a bargain and curious residents looking to spend a few bucks on a new item will have fun browsing through the 91 items for sale (don’t forget to check out the vaccine freezers and zero-turn mowers, too).
