Auction them off on choice would be the sane way to do it,
top bidder takes what they want at the bid price and then put the rest up again until they are gone.
That's how the old time auctioneers would do it.
i have bought a bunch of mostly computer stuff of the site. Usually some poor sod gets the job of dealing with it dumped on him/her. Doesn’t want or even know what to do. The last trainer bike auction was a pain. 30 plus days to be allowed to pic up. Contact person had no clue what to do . They had lost the ownerships.
"These motorcycles were used as training units for students @ Humber College"
Already used for m1x training I'm guessing...?
Why are they on a government auction website? Thought the riding schools run out of the colleges and such were actually privately operated, just in conjunction with the colleges?
edit: And why a US government auction site, at that?
The asking price is ridiculous, these old 125 have no value, you could buy 1 for a couple hundred dollars more if you watched for it. Needing to buy 72 for over $700ea? Hellnawwwww
Used riding school bikes that have been dropped hundreds or thousands of times (not to mention the engine and clutch abuse) would be the last bikes I’d ever buy.

I think we're all in agreement there, I wonder what the next step is? If they get no offers, do they just "scrap" them and by scrap I mean everybody at the office gets one?

In 2013 Ready Honda bough the Humber deal, they sold off about 50 XV250 Viragos for $900each -- I was there early and bought 2, they had a few scuffs on the footpegs, no tank dents and no scuffs on the exhaust. The head and signal lights, pillions and speedos were never installed - they came in a box and were still in the original factory plastic bags.
Both bikes passed a real safety all I had to do was replace a read brake cable on one of the bikes. They look to be well maintained, compression was perfect, oil was clear and filing free when changed, the original chain, sprocket and tires were still in spec. My son learned on these bikes, I rode one for 20K on nothing but oil changes, a chain and a set of brake pads. Sold then for $2K each 3 years later.
Many of the bikes at Ready were rough, the dealership sold them in a package to a Jamacian dealer.
