Government agencies replace IT equipment on 3-5 year refresh cycles, creating a steady supply of computers, monitors, servers, and networking gear at auction. Federal agencies are the largest source – the Department of Defense alone disposes of thousands of laptops and desktops annually through GSA Auctions. Law enforcement seizures through PropertyRoom add consumer electronics like phones, tablets, and gaming consoles. Hard drives are typically wiped or removed from federal equipment before sale, so check descriptions for storage details.
Most IT equipment from planned refresh cycles works fine – agencies replace on schedule, not because equipment has failed. Seized electronics from PropertyRoom are untested and sold as-is. Always check condition codes: 'Usable' means tested and working, 'Repairable' means it needs work, and 'Scrap' is parts-only.
Federal agencies are required to sanitize or remove storage media before surplus sale. Many listings explicitly state 'hard drive removed' or 'hard drive wiped to DoD standards.' State and local agencies vary – some include drives, others don't. Check each listing description.
GSA Auctions handles federal IT equipment in bulk lots. PropertyRoom specializes in law enforcement seized electronics (individual items). GovDeals carries state and local government IT surplus. For enterprise networking gear and servers, DLA Disposition Services is worth checking.
Bulk lots of identical items (e.g., 20 Dell laptops) offer the best per-unit value but require more capital. Individual items on PropertyRoom are accessible for personal buyers. Set a firm maximum bid including buyer's premium and shipping, and inspect photos carefully for physical damage.
