DFW International Airport kicks off its fifth online auction this morning at 8 a.m., selling hundreds of surplus vehicles and equipment that were used to build International Terminal D and the Skylink people mover system. The auction will also include portable buildings, office equipment and a variety of audio- visual items in prime condition and ready for use.

DFW is hoping to raise more than $3 million in the auction, which would make it the largest online venture in Airport history. The auction runs through February 2 and is available for browsing at http://www.dfwairport.com or at http://www.renebates.com , the web site of Rene Bates Auctioneers, Inc. of McKinney, Texas, the firm that handles DFW’s online auctions.
