Buyers were wary of the Florida scrub jays in the fourth and final North Port lot auction.
Of the 77 lots that remained unsold when the auction closed Tuesday afternoon, almost half had been designated as scrub jay habitat. Only 10 lots denoted as scrub jay habitat were sold.
Scrub-jays aside, about two-thirds of the 223 available lots were sold in the fourth session. Of those that did sell, most sold for somewhat more than the starting bid amount, and one lot sold for $64,250.
During a three-month period, more than 2,000 lots were sold through online auctions managed by Fisher Auction Co. for the city of North Port and Sarasota County.
