Public Surplus has partnered with AOC to help counties sell surplus property online through their online auction website. If your county or department has surplus equipment, vehicles, real estate, tax sale property, or anything else, Public Surplus can help you sell it quickly with some of the lowest buyer’s premium fees in the country!
The Public Surplus online auction system was created with unique capabilities exclusively for public agencies. We are confident that our solution will generate more revenue, increase transparency, and reduce the overhead of your surplus operations.
Below are just a few of the many features that over 4,000 government agencies are taking advantage of today.
Features:
- Comply with state, federal, and local regulations: Designed specifically for government agencies you can rest assured that we designed our system to meet and exceed all regulations regarding surplus disposal for your agency.
- Simplicity: Simple navigation and ease of use, all without sacrificing powerful functionality.
- Large/Qualified Buyer Database: Increase the number of buyers from your own community and combine them with the largest database of qualified buyers for government agencies.
- Increase Revenue – typically 30% – 60% more net revenue when compared to live auctions. We consistently out perform our online competitors as well.
- NO COSTS: Our solution is easy on the budget. There is no cost to your agency when selling on Public Surplus. Free registration, free listing and free payment collections. All fees are paid by the buyer in the form of a buyer’s premium and the agency will not be charged anything. Lower buyer’s premium available with the AOC program!
