The informal quote is used to sell items of minimal value (less than $5,000.00), such as junk cars, or items in large quantities for salvage value, such as old computers. The informal quote requires no bid deposit and no performance bond, and is advertised both by this website and by direct mail to prospective bidders who have expressed an interest in such items on previous sales. Typically, high bidders have two to three business days to pay for the items they have been awarded and five business days to remove them from County control.
