VCRs, Cars and a Salad Bar: Smyrna Sets Auction

SMYRNA, TN — Need a soft-serve machine on the cheap? Maybe a set of zebra-print chairs? What about a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis? Smyrna's latest online surplus auction has all that and oh-so-much more.

The auction will open Saturday and features items from nine city departments, plus a host of police seizures. The city's events center is offering up the most items, mostly furniture — including the aforementioned quartet of zebra-print chairs — but also food-service items, like a salad bar, perfect for the Shoney's-themed man-cave, and 600 china dinner plates, for the Rutherford County socialite looking to out-do Mrs. Astor by 200.

There's also some heavy hardware, like a flex-wing mower and a chop saw, plus exercise equipment and two VCRs, one of which is attached to a television.

The police seizure list includes the following automobiles:

• 2005 Dodge SRX
• 2002 Dodge Durango
• 2006 Chevy Impala
• 1999 Acura 30C
• 1997 Honda ULC
• 2000 Volvo S80
• 1995 Chevy Suburban
• 2004 Infinity G35
• 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis
