Retail liquidation (bin stores)
Bin store in Raleigh open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with one price per day that only goes down: $12 on Friday (restock day), $10 Saturday, $7 Sunday, $5 Monday, $3 Tuesday and $1 Wednesday, then closed Thursday to restock. It also sells whole pallets. Phone (919) 526-9039. Not an auction.
Raleigh, Wake County
NC State Surplus
Anyone can browse the public bid site, but bidding needs an approved account: one account per person, with a residential address (per the state's bid guide). A bid in the last two minutes extends the clock by two minutes, and the site's terms say a bid can't be edited or withdrawn while an item is on bid, so treat every bid as binding. The Raleigh store, warehouse and vehicle lot run Monday through Friday, and the warehouse uses a morning lottery for entry (line-up from 8:45 a.m.; see the entry-process link). Not confirmed: whether searching closed auctions needs a login. The surplus.nc.gov address didn't load for me, so use the state's own bid-site link.
