Washington state ferries to be auctioned on eBay
Published November 17th, 2007
The state plans to put its two mothballed passenger ferries on the online auction site eBay at the end of the month, hoping to fetch nearly $9 million for the two boats, the Chinook and the Snohomish.
The vessels, now sitting at the Washington State Ferry Eagle Harbor maintenance yard on Bainbridge Island, haven’t operated since 2003.
Ferry Director Mike Anderson said there will not be a buy-it-now option on the sale, and if no one buys them on eBay, the state will hire a marine broker to sell them.
Each boat has been assessed at $4.5 million.
