Frequently Asked Questions
How many PublicSurplus auctions are live in Texas?
The count at the top of this page is live: it comes from the same index the search page uses and refreshes as lots are scraped and close. PublicSurplus lots in Texas sit alongside listings from 25 other sources here, so you can compare a TX lot against the rest of the market before bidding rather than after.
Is PublicSurplus legit?
Yes. PublicSurplus has operated since the early 2000s as the surplus disposal platform for thousands of school districts, cities, counties and universities. The sellers are public bodies, and the site is often the cheaper option against GovDeals because most lots carry no buyer's premium. Listings are sparse by comparison, so condition risk is higher, not lower.
Is PublicSurplus cheaper than GovDeals?
Often, yes, and the reason is fees rather than prices. Most PublicSurplus lots carry no buyer's premium, while GovDeals adds 12.5% to every winning bid. On a $5,000 item that is a $625 difference before anything else. Compare the true total, not the hammer price.
Why are PublicSurplus listings so thin?
Because the person writing them is a school district or public works employee clearing a warehouse, not a seller trying to maximise the price. Expect few photos and short descriptions. Treat that as a reason to inspect or bid conservatively rather than as a sign something is wrong.
