The government has been auctioning lots of tubing since at least July, with the most recent sales ending just a day before it announced fresh construction.
The Biden administration has been selling off materials that were supposed to be used to construct barriers at the border with Mexico just days before it approved the construction of a new, 20-mile stretch of border wall.Listings on GovPlanet, an auction site for state, local and federal agencies to auction off surplus inventory, show it has been selling off lots of square iron and steel wall tubing for tens of thousands of dollars as recently as Wednesday.
government made a total of $115,910 from the metal fencing tubes, which measure 28 feet long and are typically anchored into the ground with concrete. The latest four lots, sold on October 4, saw prices ranging from $25,700 to $32,505.Across September, it recouped $455,100 from numerous lots of different quantities which attracted a range of winning bids. Previous estimates suggest it made around half a million dollars from the sales in August, with listings dating further back in the year.
