CHARLESTON — The state of South Carolina has a lot of stuff it’s not using.
And it’s ready to sell.
The (Charleston) Post and Courier reported there are more than 40 surplus properties listed for sale at the State Budget and Control Board’s Division of General Services website (www.gs.sc.gov/sb-ps/ RPS-surplus.phtm).

The properties range from a ranch-style brick home in Greenville to an eight-story dormitory in Greenwood.
The Transportation Department has a lot of the surplus property, including a house in Mount Pleasant, the agency’s former fleet maintenance facility in Mount Pleasant and a home in Florence.
There are parcels of land, ranging from a tiny $800 tract in Greenville County to 23 acres in Spartanburg County.
There’s even an old dock and warehouse on Sullivan’s Island.
