COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Missouri State Treasurer's Office plans to give Missourians a chance to purchase some interesting items in Columbia this week.

Officials will hold an unclaimed property auction at the Hilton Garden Inn Conference Center at 3200 Vandiver Dr. The auction is scheduled to start Monday and Tuesday at 9 a.m. each day.

More than 2,300 items are up for auction, including jewelry, comic books, coins, and other items. The items in the auction were turned over to the state after being found in safe deposit boxes.

Officials said the auction will allow the state treasurer's office to create more room for additional items. Potential bidders can preview the items for sale at 8 a.m. each day. A list of items in the auction can also be viewed here.

The state will hold money made from the auction until the owner of the safe deposit box can claim the funds.

Winning bidders can pay and pick up their items following the sale of each item or at the end of the day. Sales tax will also get added to the purchase of each item.

The Missouri State Treasurer's Office didn't hold unclaimed property auctions in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
