God knows 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: what might come up, So tell us what is going 29 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: to be happening, and then you know, get into some 30 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: of the parameters. 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: We've got plenty of time this morning, so have. 32 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: About it well. We will open the gates chip at 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: about seven o'clock. We'll have a registration area where we'll 34 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: have a lot of people in excess of five or 35 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: six hundred at a time trying to get in and 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: get registered for the auction. Auction won't start typically till 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: nine thirty. We'll prolong it for a half iron if 38 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: we have a big line of people still getting registered, 39 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: but typically it starts up at nine thirty eight. At 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: ten o'clock in the morning, we will start out with 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: confiscated items such as cameras, crossbows, guns, traps, anything that's 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: used in the process of the violation of the Fish 43 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: and Wildlife regulation. Then those can be confiscated by the 44 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: court and their issue does for resale. And we we 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: actually work off of a rig that was placed in 46 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: our statues many years ago. It's forty five a point 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: four two thives. But everyone's to look it up and 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: it's the surplus and excess property ability to auction those 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 3: items OFLF and so. 50 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: And of course none of this can be viewed beforehand 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: before the auction. 52 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: Day, correct. And the point point to that is chip 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: we could have people come in and look things over 54 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: for two or three days and then sometimes and it's 55 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: happened before. I'm missing parts off things. You know, things 56 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: are misplaced, the tags are torn off. So to make 57 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: it fair to everybody that shows up and registers at 58 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: the auction, we let them view the morning of the sale. 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: Okay, Now where will this take place? And we'll repeat 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: that again at the end of the or the end 61 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: of the morning. 62 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: So it's at our office headquarters on number one Sportsman's 63 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: Lane here in Frankfurt, Kentucky. 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: Fantastic.

We have 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: an auction the first Monday in May and the first 94 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: Monday in October, and I'll start taking items in from 95 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: staff across the state. Law enforcement will typically bring in 96 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: confiscated goods towards the end of that season prior to 97 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: the auction, but we store house at catalog getting start 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: getting it compiled a couple months before each one. 99 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: Well, listen, you sit tight, John Acres. 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm quite fascinated by this, and I just recently got 101 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: into auction, going to auctions, and I'm retired, okay, so 102 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: I'll get a little time on my hands, and I 103 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: find it quite fun.

We'll be back 105 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: with more in the Big Outdoors News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 106 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: Back in the moment, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 107 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: My guest is John Acres. 108 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: He's the program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: and Wildlife. I guess what you'd call a bi annual auction, 110 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: which is coming up at the Office Complex Outdoors on 111 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: Monday morning, October sixth, and John welcome back. So, you know, 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: on a typical auction day, how long does the auction 113 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: actually run? And I'd love to hear that COVID story too. 114 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, okay, Well, typically chip an auction to 115 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: run from nine to two or three o'clock, you know, 116 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 3: four or five hour auction is a standard auction. It 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: depends on how fast it goes and how fast people 118 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: are raising their hand and pushing through things. We don't 119 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: We don't antagonize the auctioneer to elevate prices and drag 120 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: it on. We want to sell it and move it 121 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: and be done with it. And so we run through 122 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: them pretty good sometimes. 123 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: But that's quite good. Yeah yeah, Now. 124 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: Let me I'll give you the COVID side of that. 125 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: When we were we were in COVID and we were 126 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: mandated not to have any public access or any kind 127 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: of uh you know, personal contact. We canceled our auctions 128 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: for about three years. I think it was a photo 129 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: of five auctions total. And so in the course of that, 130 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: business went on as usual, and as things broke down 131 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: and we decided to buy and trade things in we 132 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: collected farm equipment and surplus property that was bigger than 133 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: I've ever seen, and I've been there for about thirty 134 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: five years. So when that morning broke and nobody had 135 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: been to an auction in three or four years, we 136 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: had a line out to the highway almost of vehicles. 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: We had a line of eleven hundred and twelve hundred 138 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: people in line at one time getting registered, and the 139 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: Sheriff's office actually shut down Highway sixty coming into the 140 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: complex on both ends because the traffic was backed up 141 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: all the way in town. So anyway, so we know 142 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: not to save them up anymore like that. 143 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I hope you don't have to do that. 144 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: I imagine the state police, Kentucky State Police were just 145 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: awfully happy, weren't they. 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: Well they helped us work that, one preacharged. So yeah, 147 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: very nice. 148 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: I think you do know some people you do not? 149 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I know them now better than I did before. 150 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, So. 151 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: At your auctions, did you sign up when you get in? 152 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: When you get there, you take cash, check, credit card? 153 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: Is how does that work? 154 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: Chip? We'll take cash, credit card, check. If you bring 155 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: us a check and you buy an item or a 156 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: volume of materials more than five thousand dollars, you need 157 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: a letter from your bank show them that you are 158 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 3: covered to that purchase. Fair enough, but typically you know, 159 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: people will pay cash because there is a virus premium 160 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: and there is a three percent on credit card use. 161 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: So like other auctions, I think that standard across the 162 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: world now. So if you buy some one hundred dollars, 163 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 3: you're going to end up paying about one hundred and 164 00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: thirteen or something. 165 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, okay. 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: So in the case of firearms, if you buy a 167 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: firearm at this auction, does that can you take it 168 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: with you or do you do you have to go 169 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: does it have to go through like a you know, 170 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: an ffoul licensed individual. 171 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: Here's here's the process of that. We have the guns here. 172 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: We don't let people handle guns anymore because people are 173 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 3: crazy these days, and so we hold the guns up 174 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: on an auction block.

So after the 231 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 3: auction of the guns is completed, just the guns only, 232 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: we will have staff, our law enforcement guys will take 233 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: those guns down and process them over and give them 234 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 3: to that dealership and they will in turn take paid recipients. 235 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: After they pay us, they'll go down to the receipt 236 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: and they'll do the background check. And they've already got 237 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 3: a listing of the guns, so we've expedited us pretty good. 238 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: All they have to do is look up the serial 239 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: number of the gun, but the person's name on if 240 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: they fill out the background check, and then they see 241 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: if they pass. As long as they pass, they can 242 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 3: pick up the gun that day when they're done. If 243 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: there's a hold on it, sometimes there's a twenty four 244 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 3: hour hold, sometimes there's a three day hold or a 245 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: seven day hold, they'll have to come back and as 246 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: soon as it's cleared. 247 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: So well, you know, I'm looking at your list of 248 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: fire arms and it's quite quite impressive, and you know, 249 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: just doesn't matter, I guess, just a point of discussion. 250 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: Just do these things like go for maybe half their 251 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: value or something like that. I mean, I you just 252 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: never know. 253 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 3: I'm torn between this answers. So I'm gonna give it 254 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 3: to you this way. No, they don't. They don't sell 255 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: cheaper than you boum its store. Okay, sometimes they'll be 256 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: worth more because sometimes they're somebody's grandfather's gun and he 257 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: went it back. Yeah, and so if there's some little 258 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: value to it, who knows what it'll go for. But 259 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: in most cases, I would bet in most cases the 260 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 3: value of the guns are probably eighty to ninety percent 261 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: of what they're worth. 262 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. 263 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's an auction, and you just you know, 264 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: you just know, you never know. And this this is 265 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: a darn big one.
