C O confiscations
« on: September 06, 2011, 06:27:13 AM »
just curious on what happens to all the gear and items that are confiscated by the CO's at the end of the year ,do they hold a public auction like the vancouver police or is it all destroyed? 8)

I doubt very much it's destroyed. It's probably sent to Public Works for sale to the public. I know a Manager with Public Works and I'll ask her if she knows anything.

It apparently ends up on the BCAuction site.

Might be....until this thread gets around. You can bid on-line. Just search for fish or fishing.

I considered deleting the thread before too many people see it. LOL There isn't much fishing stuff up for auction right now anyway.

Gov't of Canada has some interesting stuff too if the shipping doesn't kill the deal.
