The general surplus category covers everything that doesn't fit neatly into vehicles, electronics, or equipment – office furniture, raw materials, fixtures, storage containers, and mixed lots. These auctions tend to attract fewer bidders than vehicles or electronics, which means winning bids are often well below market value. Government agencies clearing out entire facilities sometimes bundle items into large lots, so it pays to read descriptions carefully – a "miscellaneous office lot" might include desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and IT peripherals together.
General surplus is a catch-all for items that don't fit standard categories: office furniture, janitorial supplies, kitchen equipment, fitness gear, signage, raw materials, and mixed lots. The variety is the appeal – less competition means better prices.
Often yes. General surplus consistently has the lowest average number of bidders per lot across all categories. Resellers and small businesses find value in office furniture lots, while individuals pick up tools, storage units, and specialty items at a fraction of retail.
Quality of descriptions varies by platform. GSA Auctions provides detailed inventories with photos. GovDeals relies on the selling agency, so some lots have thorough itemization while others just say 'miscellaneous office supplies.' Always check the photos and contact the selling agency if the description is vague.
