The University Of Cincinnati’s Entire Hardwood Court Has Made Its Way To A Government Auction

ItalianStallion7 years ago

I once went to a government auction and it was all over the damn place. They sold everything from concept cars to military surplus to guns confiscated from drug busts. It looked like they were just slinging sets props from the Rambo movies. When I eventually get a house, I’m hitting a government auction immediately to set a badass aesthetic.

Since e-commerce is killing off brick and mortar retail, government auctions have gone digital as well. Browse the digital aisles of govdeals.com and you’ll find this little collegiate gem. Somehow, some way the hardwood court from the University of Cincinnati’s basketball team ended up on this government auction site.

From govdeals.com:

“This floor was purchased in 2003 from Connor Sports and has been used by the University of Cincinnati Division I NCAA Bearcat Basketball Teams since then. The manufacturer still sells this type of floor under their Quicklock Portable Floor branding. Overall, it is 56 feet wide by 136 feet long for a total of 7616 square feet. This auction consists of 263 total pieces. (215 4’x8’ + 40 4’x4’ + 4 2’x8’ and 4 2’x4’) The panels are currently on 19 4×8 pallets. (The carts seen in some of the pictures are not included.).

Look, it’s even portable.

Hopefully there’s a buyer for this unlike Rice University’s inflatable football tunnel.

If any of you are interested in owning the court of one the winningest college basketball teams of all time, bidding ends March 8th. It’ll set you back a cool 30Gs. Sure, it’s a big price tag, but you can finally live out that childhood dream of playing as a Bearcat with the likes of Oscar Robertson, Kenyon Martin, and Nick Van Exel..
