Frequently Asked Questions

How do I bid on surplus equipment in New York?

Can I filter New York equipment auctions by distance from my ZIP code?
Yes. Most surplus is collected in person, so distance from you usually matters more than the state a lot sits in. In the GovAuctions feed you can enter your ZIP and set a radius of 25, 50, 100, or 200 miles, and the filter applies across every indexed platform at once rather than one marketplace at a time. Results sort by pickup distance, so a radius search also catches equipment just over the New York state line that browsing by state alone would hide.
