Surplus auctions offer a way for us to responsibly manage and repurpose items no longer needed by its departments. These auctions feature a variety of goods, such as vehicles, office equipment, and machinery, often at significantly reduced prices compared to market value. The goal is to free up space, reduce waste, and transfer these assets into the hands of residents, businesses, and organizations that can make use of them. For residents, surplus auctions present an affordable opportunity to purchase quality used items directly from the local government. Items sold at auction are often well-maintained, having been serviced on a regular schedule while in use. Ultimately, surplus auctions benefit both the borough and the community by extending the lifespan of resources and supporting fiscal responsibility.
Visit the auction website and create an account by providing your email, contact information, and any required verification details. Make sure to check for any registration fees or eligibility requirements before proceeding.
Once registered, browse through available auction items. Use filters to sort by category, price range, or item condition, and review the detailed descriptions, photos, and any additional specifications provided.
When you find an item you’re interested in, enter your bid amount in the designated field. Keep an eye on the bidding time and monitor your bids to ensure you remain the highest bidder if the item has multiple bidders.
If you win the bid, you’ll receive an email notification with payment instructions. Follow the instructions to complete payment within the specified timeframe to avoid forfeiting the item.
After payment, coordinate pickup or shipping per the auction’s guidelines. Some items may require you to schedule a pickup time, while others offer shipping options at an additional cost.
