Frequently Asked Questions
How does bidding work at South Carolina government surplus auctions?
Registration is free on most platforms. You place bids online before the auction closes, and the highest bidder wins. Some auctions are sealed-bid (you submit one offer) while others are live online (bidding continues until time expires). Payment and pickup happen after the auction ends. Each platform has different rules, so read the specific auction details before bidding to understand shipping costs, payment deadlines, and pickup locations.
What condition should I expect appliances and household items to be in?
Government surplus items vary widely in condition. Some are brand new from overstocked purchases; others are used but fully functional from agency offices or facilities. Listings include condition descriptions, photos, and often note whether items are tested or untested. Inspect items in person when possible before bidding. Most auctions are sold as-is with no returns, so review the lot details carefully and attend preview events when available.
