(a) You must provide public notice of your sale of personal property to permit full and free competition.

You may also distribute mailings or flyers of your offer to sell to prospective purchasers on mailing lists.
(b) The public notice must include information necessary for potential buyers to participate in the sale, such as:
(1) Date, time and location of sale;
(2) General categories of property being offered for sale;

i.e.,
spot bid, sealed bid, auction);
(5) Selling agency; and
(6) Who to contact for additional information.
