Bidders line a barricade to get a look at an unclaimed bicycle up for auction in July 2014 in Ocean City, NJ.
The City of Ocean City will hold its annual Bicycle Auction 10 a.m. to noon Monday (July 20) at the Shelter Road Recycling Center at 1 Shelter Road (off Tennessee Avenue, which intersects Bay Avenue near 23rd Street).
The Ocean City Police Department lets anybody bid on used bicycles that have been deemed by police to be abandoned or unclaimed.
In a typical auction, successful bids range from $1 to $350 — the event provides a great opportunity to purchase bikes at low cost.
The City of Ocean City raised $2,469 in the summer 2014 auction — selling 77 bikes at an average price of $32. The auction included 101 registered bidders and 79 bikes offered for sale.
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m., and a driver’s license, passport or valid ID is required to register.
All items are sold “as is/where is” with no warranties implied or offered. Accepted forms of payment are bank checks with ID, traveler’s checks and cash. No credit cards will be accepted.
Rain date is Tuesday, July 21. For information, call (609) 399-6111 ext. 9356.
