With the completion of the new weight room in the aux gym, USD 343 will be offering some of the old equipment for sale to patrons. With that in mind, if you're interested in purchasing any equipment from the old weight room, please complete the form below. Several of the items are priced; however, there are a few items that are "open bid." For items that are priced, sales will be completed on a first come, first serve basis (Justin Dunnaway will communicate to you if you did get the item that you requested). For open bid items, all bids will be due by Monday, March 9th--the high bidder on each piece of equipment will be contacted by Wednesday, March 11th. All payments will need to be made to Jenny Herschell at the USD 343 Board office. Check or cash (cash must be exact as we will not have change available). Similarly, payment must be made prior to picking up the item(s) you have bid on.
If you bid on a large piece of equipment, it will be your responsibility to break the equipment down and to set it up in your new location. Similarly, it will be the buyer's responsibility to transport the equipment. To schedule time to pickup an item, you will need to work with our Chief of Maintenance, Bryan Williams. If you have any questions on what a piece of equipment is, please contact Mike Paramore via email at mparamore@usd343.org.
