Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find government surplus equipment auctions in Ohio?

How do I bid on surplus equipment in Ohio?

Can I filter Ohio 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, or 100 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 Ohio state line that browsing by state alone would hide.
