The Charleston County Sheriff's Office is using GovDeals.com to sell items seized by the Sheriff's Metro Narcotics Unit. The sale of a helicopter for $150,500 on June of 2006 put Charleston County Government at the $1 million mark for selling used equipment. The Sheriff's Office has sold $165,554.90 in items such as seized televisions, cars, jewelry and furniture since they began using the online system in July of 2005. The funding from the auctions goes back into this drug fighting unit to help purchase equipment.
