How to Sell Government Surplus
Surplus goods accumulated by local, state and federal governments need to be sold to the public at a public auction under law. On-site auctions are one of the known ways employed to dispose of government surplus. You need to issue a public notice notifying the public of the date, time and auction items beforehand. General public are allowed to bid onsite once they register, and goods are sold to successful bidders. One of the other popular ways to go about selling government surplus is selling it on online auction websites. You get to reach a larger audience online, as anyone with an Internet connection can bid. There are several governmental and other auction websites such as eBay to help you sell online.
