Sullivan County, NY Auctioning Trucks, Vans & Buses for $2 Each

If you need some new wheels, the county government is unloading a fleet of vehicles for just a few bucks each.

Government auctions can be a great place to score some deals if you know what you're doing. But one local auction has had such little action that it seems like anyone can score big by betting low.

This week, Sullivan County announced that it was getting rid of surplus vehicles, dumpsters and other heavy equipment by putting them up for bid through Absolute Auctions.

The company has listed 31 items from the county government with starting bids at just one dollar.
