How To Get Your Hands On Military Surplus Equipment At Auction

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Tons of items given out by the military to local law enforcement can also be yours.

From tool kits to camping gear to boats to boots, if local agencies don't want it, it goes up for auction.

The sheriff's department does not sell anything directly. Instead they put it out either through the federal surplus program, or the county.

You can do your shopping on http://gsa.gov or www.publicsurplus.com.

We found 55 cargo trucks for sale on gsa.gov like the ones the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department received through the military surplus program, with a starting bid of $1,500. Forklifts start at $800.

The lists update daily.
