Massachusetts Turns To Ebay To Sell Off The Unusual This Saturday.

10/27/2015

Want a vintage Babe Ruth Baseball card? Or how about a 1949 Boston Fenway Park Felt Pennant? Antique Currency? The State of Massachusetts has just what you are looking for!  Beginning this Saturday (October 31st) at noon, the state will begin auctioning off the first of over 1,200 lots to be sold over the next couple months on Ebay.  Yep, that Ebay.

These are all unclaimed items that have sat dormant for years in safe deposit boxes located throughout the state, and despite intensive efforts to locate the owners, they remain unclaimed. Since 2005, the eBay auctions have raised $2.1 million for the state’s general fund through the sale of 8,377 separate lots. The first 100 lots of this year’s auction go up for bid Saturday at noon, under the eBay user name “mass.state.treasury.”
