Voice of America, BanDung, surplus goods bid

The Voice of America, Ban Dung, will accept bids for a variety of merchandise on an "AS-IS WHERE-IS” basis. The property will be sold in 8 individual lots (you're not buying an individual piece of equipment, rather, you are buying a variety of equipment grouped together in a 'lot'.)
The terms for the sale, as well as the contents of the individual lots, are contained in the attachments.
The sale is open to anyone....Thai or not.

My 2 baht worth: Many years ago, the VOA held such a sale. The lot, containing a variety of American-sized refrigerators, washers, stoves, etc. was bought by a Thai man who subsequently sold the contents of the lot individually. I bought a 'used' Whirlpool washing machine for 4000 baht and paid 1000 baht to have it serviced and repaired (??pump hoses or something??). The full-sized washer served us well for about 8 years. One friend bought a stove for his home and another bought a stove for his bar/restaurant. Both worked fine without any needed repairs. You may have such luck, and you may not. Please read the terms and conditions of the sale.
I hold no interest in this sale. I am merely posting the information for the general public.

Having bought these possibly worn out goods for a small price, I presume you then have to pay the Thai customs all the import taxes on the **new** price, as this is US government property brought in without tax payment??

TAXES AND DUTIES:
Applicable taxes and duties imposed by the THAI Government are payable by the buyer.
Interested bidders are advised to inquire with the Bureau of Customs regarding taxes and duties before submitting their bids.
