Eco-Challenge Gear Sale

Rob / 18.02.2004

There is still no news on the future of Eco-Challenge, which didnâ€™t take place last year, and with no date announced for 2004 the future of the best known race in the world did not look bright. Now it looks worse as the organisers are selling off all the equipment used to stage the race, an incredible 16,000 items, from glowsticks, to ropes, to tents etc.

If you are a Race Director you might be interested in their offer, but
Eco-Challenge fans around the world will draw their own, gloomy conclusions. Hereâ€™s their unique â€˜For Saleâ€™ offer;

Attention Race Directors or aspiring Race Directors:

Eco-Challenge is liquidating their event production inventory. Everything must go. There are about 16,000 items, ranging from rescue beacons to zip ties - everything that was owned by the event and shipped overseas to produce the event. Items range in from brand new to 8 years old.

Examples are:

EPIRB Rescue Beacons
Weatherhaven Tent
200m spools of 11mm climbing rope new and used
Generators
GPS\'s
Rubbermaid Action Packer boxes
Hammocks
Rigging bolts
Heli Nets
Bungee Cords
Cooksets
Field Toilets
Gas cans
Glow Sticks
Power Strips
Voltage Converters
Traffic Cones

You get the idea ... lots of stuff small and large, in various conditions.

These items will not be sold individually. The entire inventory will be sold to a person or company who agrees to take all items, in their present condition. Everything is located in Santa Monica, CA in a storage room.

The bid must include emptying out the room. The space is desperately needed as soon as possible. All bids are welcome.

If you are interested in receiving the entire inventory list to place a bid, please contact me at triciamiddleton@earthlink.net and I will be happy to send it to you. If you would like to submit a bid, you may see the entire inventory by appointment.
