Thanks to eBay, a WWII era bouy tender brought in over $12,000
Years of use finally caught up with the craft a few months ago.
She blew an engine, was declared surplus property by Seneca County officials and was put up for sale on eBay.
Steve Gibbs of Braddock Bay Marina Inc. of Rochester decided the craft was just what his salvage company needed.
His bid of $14,101.01 beat 234 others.
Another sheriff’s department vessel, Marine 1, a twin engine outboard, drew 117 bids with a British Columbia man making the top offer of $12,210.
County officials said they will add the money to $90,000 budgeted for a new sheriff’s department boat patrol and marine recovery division under James Larson as the officer in charge.
What’s up for sale at your county auction that could bring a good price on eBay?
