JJ Kane announced the addition of fleet vehicles from Clark Public Utilities to its June 13th public auction in Portland, Ore. The Clark vehicles will be added to the more than 560 vehicles and equipment to be auctioned off.    The auction is live on-site in Portland, Ore., where the majority of equipment is located. However, buyers can bid on all equipment in person at the auction site, or online, as many vehicles are located in several other states including Washington, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona.

Buyers do not have to be dealers to bid as this auction is open to the public with live bidding starting at 9 a.m. Thur. June 13. Bidders can inspect auction vehicles on Wed. June 12, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. and also at 7a.m. on auction day, June 13. Vehicles are added to the auction daily, and people looking for used cars, trucks and other vehicles are encouraged to sign up for weekly email updates to stay informed of newly added equipment.

Over the past several years, Clark Public Utilities has worked hard to cut operating costs as much as possible helping them to operate more efficiently than many other public utility districts in Washington. This auction is part of that strategy, allowing them to recover investments made in fleet vehicles and unused assets.

The Clark vehicles are part of a large live auction in Portland, OR where the majority of equipment is located and buyers can bid on all equipment in person at the auction site, or online, as many vehicles are located in several other states including Washington, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona. Vehicles are added to the auction daily, and people looking for used cars, trucks and other vehicles are encouraged to sign up for weekly email updates to stay informed of newly added vehicles and equipment.

J.J. Kane is well-known for used bucket truck and utility equipment auctions. However, their auctions also feature a large number of used cars, vans, light-duty trucks, and SUV's. JJ Kane auctions are absolute, meaning that everything sells to the highest bidder, regardless of price. There are no minimums or reserves at an absolute auction, and owners are not allowed to bid on equipment they have consigned to the auction. Selling price is determined by the bidders participating in the auction, and no one else. Anyone can register and connect directly with buyers and sellers through this auction company, helping both parties to exchange equipment at a fair price.

"JJ Kane provides the services that are important to buyers and sellers in the way that is most convenient for them. Sellers benefit from a convenient and cost-effective way to sell equipment for competitive market value. Buyers can kick the tires and inspect items personally, or if they prefer, they can make purchases online without the time and expense incurred with traveling to an auction,” says Joe Kane, founder of J.J. Kane Auctioneers.
