The state would like to sell you a used car
A 2008 Toyota Prius the state is selling on eBay.
The state's new website for selling surplus on eBay -- NYS Store -- officially launched today.
The first big sale (if that's the word) is a lot of 450 vehicles up for auction. The vehicles are currently at the Harriman State Office Campus and will be available for inspection a few days over this weekend and next week. The minimum bid is $500. The auction ends April 13.
Most of the vehicles are Chevys and Fords, the kind that just sort of say "government vehicle." But browsing the stock this morning we noticed there are a handful of Honda and Toyota hybrids, also.
The state has been selling old/surplus stuff on eBay for years. It looks like the new website is mostly a better "storefront" for those auctions.

I used to work for OGS doing their eBay auction listings. I always enjoyed seeing the strange and surprising things we would put up for auction and the strange customers who would purchase the items.
