It's kind of like the Island of Misfit Toys.
But in this case, a yard and warehouse full of goods is where all the old items from different cities, counties and municipalities end up when they have served their time.
"When they get the new, we get the old," said George Gideon, who runs the unique business tucked away behind a gas station off north U.S. Route 441 in Zellwood, Florida.
In his fenced-in yard News 6 found more than 30 school buses, dozens of cars, construction equipment and even three firetrucks.
"The small one is from the city of Palm Bay; the large one is from Mount Dora," said Gideon as he showed News 6 the current firetrucks for sale. "The other one back here is from Sumter County."
Gideon has even had broken-down helicopters brought there.
"We have some smaller municipalities that will bid on them," said Gideon. "A lot of the buses come from Orange County schools. They'll end up a lot of times with churches and do get exported to foreign countries."
But inside the warehouse, it's a whole different world.
Everything from old laptops, copy machines and computer monitors to all-terrain vehicles and Segways are up for sale. So are strollers and car seats and boogie boards. A unique hodgepodge of stuff, all ready and waiting for a new home.
"I say on average we probably sell about 150 to 200 laptops a month," said Gideon.
Even boxes of clothes, belts, sunglasses and neck pillows left at the Orlando International Airport are up for auction there.
"We have boxes and boxes of neck pillows," says Gideon. "They stay at the airport 90 days, and then we get them shipped here."
And this does not include all the items confiscated by the Transportation Security Administration.
Gideon started this unique business 40 years ago, and he currently works with 50 government agencies -- auctioning off all their old stuff for a cut of the profits and then sending the rest right back to the cities and counties and agencies he has a contract with.
"Everything from a dump truck to a tractor to a copy machine to a file cabinet," said Gideon.
George Gideon Auctions holds dozens of contracts to sell off surplus and end-of-life items.
"The motorcycle came from one of the local sheriff's offices," said Gideon. "The tractors that have come in from Volusia County. I mean, its different agencies from here in Central Florida with all of their surplus items. And all of this stuff here now will end up getting sold in the next couple of weeks."
Gideon has been an auctioneer for almost four decades. But gone are the old days of live Saturday morning auctions.
Now he runs his business online.
And he says it has definitely increased his circle of buyers.
"It's similar to eBay. You just have to register with us," said Gideon. "Go on there and bid and buy, come here and pay for it and pick up."
As for all the cars for sale, most of them have been pretty well maintained since they were with the city and county agencies and often got regular oil changes and tune-ups.
"We are the largest Florida-based auction site of its kind," said Gideon.
So what’s the priciest item he has ever sold?
"The most expensive item I have sold is a crane that brought close to a million dollars,” said Gideon. “We've sold airplanes, helicopters, but that would be the most expensive."
