Once upon a time there was a furniture store! The demolition of the former XXXLutz on Goethestrasse in Linz has begun. But before the excavators really roll in, there is one last sale. During the work, the Raiffeisenlandesbank is selling furniture – as part of an online auction.
First, second, third – sold! After furniture retailer XXXLutz had already announced an online auction as part of the eviction of its location on Goethestrasse to get rid of leftovers such as complete teenage bedrooms, artificial plants, curtains and shelves, the new owner of the building is now following suit. .
The Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich has taken the initiative to have Bernegger and Dreihans, the companies responsible for the demolition of the building, hold an auction to prevent reusable parts from ending up in the waste containers.
On August 1, 74 positions will be auctioned
74 positions will therefore go under the virtual hammer on August 1 on the aurena.at platform. If you look through the assortment, you will notice that the items offered here are mainly items that require complex disassembly and that later space is needed to set them up and use them.
What does the Raiffeisenlandesbank, which started the demolition work on the former furniture store a few days ago, want to get rid of? This ranges from archive and file cabinets to armchairs and tables to escalators, cash registers and a cardboard waste crusher. Even two granite stones that lie in the open spaces are going under the hammer.
There is a key missing from a safe
The bank is also looking for buyers for two safes. Starting prices for the obviously empty storage items are 20 and 100 euros each, with one downside for the cheaper item: the key is missing. In addition to the online auction, it is also important to Raiffeisenlandesbank that the majority of the building materials such as concrete and steel are recycled when the house is demolished. The entire sustainability process is being documented. The bank’s new headquarters should be ready in 2028.
