If you are looking for a great deal, we've got some good news!

The city of Killeen is hosting a surplus auction this weekend, with a long list of items up for grabs, including a Cadillac Escalade, several trucks, used vehicles, car accessories, computers, office equipment, furniture and even bounce houses.

The auction will include miscellaneous items no longer being used or needed for Killeen city operations.

Auction Tips For Beginners

If you've never attended an auction before, there are a few things you need to remember. It's very different from a garage sale!

• Arrive early - It’s important to be able to inspect items during the preview time.
• Be prepared - Bring a truck or large SUV, along with some boxes or packing materials.
• Be sure you have a buyer’s number - Most likely you will need to register with the auction company and get a buyer or bid number.
• Know what you’re buying - When everything is sold “as is, where is,” you buy what you see.

The auction site currently lists sedans, a backhoe, generators, and many other items. Killeen's surplus auction is being conducted by united-auctioneers.com.
