Description

The City of Mobile is conducting a sealed‑bid auction of two lots of used firearms previously seized or otherwise held by the Mobile Police Department. Qualified bidders must hold a Federal Firestore License (FFL) and will submit a sealed bid by the deadline; the highest bidder for each lot wins the entire lot. No individual guns are sold, and the auction replaces an earlier firearm list with a corrected inventory. • Two lots (Lot 1 and Lot 2) containing hundreds of handguns, rifles, shotguns, and modified firearms. • Bidders must be FFL‑qualified; the sale is “as‑is” with no warranties. • Sealed‑bid process – bids due March 27 2026 12:01 pm; opening at the same time. • Addendum dated March 16 2026 updates the firearm inventory, removing non‑resalable or illegal items. • No monetary values, reserve prices, or payment terms are disclosed; participants will learn pricing at the auction.

Budget estimate

$40,000 – $80,000

The city is selling the firearms; the client would be a buyer, not a contractor, so there is no direct payment to the client. However, a reseller could anticipate profit from reselling the acquired inventory. Assuming an average acquisition cost of $400 per firearm across ~500 items ($200,000 total) and a resale margin of 20‑40%, expected gross profit could range from $40,000 to $80,000. Thus the client’s potential earnings are roughly $40 k–$80 k, subject to market demand and compliance costs.
