From time to time, the Madrid City Council \u00a0opens an online auction to sell devices\u00a0 that have been stored for some time in the Lost and Found Offices. While it’s common for owners to claim their lost items, many objects remain unclaimed for years. Consequently, the City Council occasionally decides to declutter these offices by auctioning off a variety of items.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Among the auctioned items, there are over \u00a0500 electronic devices\u00a0, including mobile phones, computers, consoles, and even drones. \u00a0This is an auction\u00a0, meaning interested buyers will need to place bids to win their desired items.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Auction Conditions<\/h2>\n

The auction consists of \u00a0138 lots\u00a0, categorized by the types of items they contain. \u00a0Pricing ranges from 21 to 863 euros\u00a0, allowing a range of options for potential buyers. The most affordable items include individual laptops, while the highest-priced lots may contain 39 computers or more, for example. The inventory is primarily composed of laptops, which can be bid on individually or in batches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All items are sourced from the \u00a0municipal lost and found office\u00a0. Items are held for a term of two years; if they remain unclaimed beyond this period, they are eligible for auction. It’s a great opportunity to acquire technology at reduced prices while ensuring that unclaimed items don’t go to waste.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The auction is active \u00a0until October 23 at 12:00\u00a0 PM (Spanish peninsular time). It’s important to note that \u00a0delivery is the buyer’s responsibility\u00a0, and no returns will be accepted after the purchase. The funds raised from the auction are deposited in the Municipal Treasury of Madrid and contribute to the city council’s budget.<\/p>\n
