Budget estimate

$500 – $15,000

The auction is a revenue‑generating event for the City; a participant who purchases items could expect to acquire assets worth anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand per item. Assuming a modest reseller purchases a mix of items totaling $5,000–$50,000 in value, the potential profit (depending on resale market) could range from 10% to 30%, yielding an estimated earnings window of roughly $500 to $15,000. The wide range reflects variability in item condition, market demand, and resale strategy.
