On-Line Auction Guidelines

 

City of Milwaukee On-Line Auction Municipality Guidelines

 

  • Requests to sell merchandise must be received by the City of Milwaukee electronically by filling out the Municipality On-Line Auction Form with complete information for merchandise to be sold.
  • Each item must have a separate form filled out. However, if there are multiple like items, those items can be submitted on one form indicating the appropriate quantities available and sizes and/or colors, if applicable.
  • Each form must be accompanied with an electronic photo of the item to be sold.
  • Each submission will be subject to a $25 insertion fee. This fee is non-refundable unless the City rejects the item submitted. Items received for auction from other municipalities will not be posted until the $25 insertion fee is received by the City. The check must be made payable to the "City of Milwaukee" and mailed to the following address:
