NC State Surplus Property Agency

NC State Surplus in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina.

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 A bid in the last two minutes extends the clock by two minutes, and the site's terms say a bid can't be edited or withdrawn while an item is on bid, so treat every bid as binding.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.

Before you bid

NC State Surplus Property Agency is a nc state surplus source. A few things resellers get caught by with this kind of source:

  • Unpredictable inventory. Some days there’s a lot, some days there’s little in your category.
  • Real competition on popular items. Vehicles especially draw serious bidders, including dealers.
  • Raleigh-centric pickup. Inspecting in person or collecting a win is a real drive from most of the state.

Every source sets its own fees, registration and pickup rules, so read them on NC State Surplus Property Agency’s own site before you bid.
