State auditor to hold online auction for abandoned items

The Arkansas state auditor is auctioning off more unclaimed property on eBay.

Auditor Charlie Daniels says the state’s latest eBay auction will be held Friday at 10 a.m. The auction will be open for seven days and is available for any eBay user, except for employees of the auditor’s office and their families.

Items listed in this month’s auction include silver bars, jewelry and assorted stamps and coins.

The items come from safe deposit boxes that were turned over to the state. All items up for sale have been abandoned at least eight years.

Photos, letters and other personal memorabilia are not included in the auctions. Proceeds of the sales are held in trust for the original owners to claim.
