Massachusetts: Ebay

State Treasurer Tim Cahill is auctioning 300 lots of jewelry, gold, silver and other collectibles that the state has obtained as abandoned property on eBay this week, according to his office.

"By holding the auction on eBay, we're continuing to take advantage of a technological partnership that has proven to be successful in bringing in proceeds for Massachusetts," Cahill, a Quincy Democrat, said in a statement. "Whether you buy a gift or something for yourself on our eBay Auction, you will be making a unique purchase and helping the commonwealth."
