About MNBID Minnesota Surplus
MNBID, at mnbid.mn.gov, is the State of Minnesota's own auction site, run by the Department of Administration's Fleet and Surplus Services. State agencies sell there, and so do Minnesota counties and cities: retired fleet cars and trucks, police cruisers, plow trucks, boats, trailers, shop equipment and furniture, plus county tax-forfeited land sold as individual parcels with a minimum bid.
Each lot is sold by the agency that owns it, and its terms name the pickup location and an inspection contact. Inspection is by appointment with that agency. Everything sells as-is, where-is, and all sales are final, so read the lot terms before you bid.
Frequently asked questions
How do I bid on MNBID?
Create an account on mnbid.mn.gov and bid on the lot before it closes. Payment, pickup and inspection are handled by the agency selling the lot, and its terms are printed on the listing, so read them first: all sales are final.
What sells on MNBID?
Vehicles are the largest share: retired state fleet cars and trucks, police cruisers and plow trucks, plus boats, trailers, ATVs and snowmobiles. Around them are shop equipment, tools, lawn equipment and furniture from agencies and city public works departments. County tax-forfeited land sells here too, as individual parcels with a minimum bid.
Where do I pick up what I win on MNBID?
At the selling agency, which can be anywhere in Minnesota: a Department of Transportation site in the Twin Cities or a small city's public works garage up north. BidProwl shows each lot's pickup city. Inspection before bidding is by appointment with the agency named in the lot's terms, and that is worth doing, because nothing can be returned.
