Public auction of found bicycles until 20 July 2025
First, second and third:
The Chemnitz lost property office is currently auctioning off various bicycles at a customs auction whose storage period has expired and for which no ownership claims have been asserted.
These include three e-bikes, 27 mountain bikes, six city bikes, two children's bikes, three trekking bikes, a children's racing bike and a racing bike. Interested parties can find the bikes at www.zoll-auktion.de under the heading "Bikes & Accessories". Users can sit back and relax, view the found bikes and try their luck if necessary - without having to go to an auction. The items on offer can only be viewed via the above Internet address; it is not possible to view the items in person during the entire auction.
Bidders cannot expect new items. The bicycles are described in detail, flaws are explicitly pointed out and informative photos are included. In many cases, minor or major repairs are necessary.
Please note that items can only be auctioned if you have previously registered with Zoll-Auktion. To do this, click on the Register button (top right). Once you have successfully registered, you can take part in the auction. The internet platform also offers the option of placing items on a watch list so that you don't miss out on how high the desired item is being traded and how many people are already interested in it.
The auctions end on 20 July 2025 between 5 pm and 6 pm.
As always with lost property auctions, the following applies: Items are auctioned as seen (in photos), no guarantee is given and exchanges are not possible. Bicycles purchased at auction can only be collected by appointment. The municipal lost property office will contact the highest bidder after the end of the auction. The amount will be paid by bank transfer before collection.
If you have any questions about the auctions, please contact the public authority telephone number 115.
