Looking for the perfect Father's Day gift or just wanting to check out some unique vehicles? We may just have what you are looking for! During this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we chat with Greg Berry of MuniciBid, an online auction marketplace for governments, schools, and universities to sell off their surplus goods. Interested in transforming an ambulance into a camper? Or a fire truck into a tailgate vehicle?
We also learn about the prices of fire trucks and why they tend to depreciate in value after a certain amount of time.
But wait, there's more! It is not just about fire trucks and ambulances; we get a look into the world of government organization auctions and the incredible deals you can find there. Learn about the different types of products available, such as light bars and even gun holders! We also discuss the various categories of products available in the auctions, including appliances, building supplies, and police and fire items. With a little help from our online commentators, we get creative and envision a mobile studio for our podcast in the form of an ambulance.
