New UK Government onlie auction website
Published February 19th, 2007
Britain’s defence ministry on Sunday launched a rival to online auction site eBay, offering surplus and ex-government military equipment at knock-down prices.
Among the items being sold by the Disposal Sales Agency (DSA) are military uniforms, outdoor gear – seven light aircraft, three ships and an eight-person rowing boat.
A ceremonial kilt and a police riot helmet are also up for grabs alongside military fire engines, bullet-proof cars, buses, mechanical diggers, bulldozers and radio equipment.
The goods are either ex-government or put up for sale by government contractors.
