Online Sales

The MSU Surplus Store has been selling items on eBay since 2001. Items are sold through standard auction formats and "Buy it Now" though an eBay store. In May of 2006 an online store was opened where more unique and/or desirable items are sold on a first come, first served basis. MSU Surplus Store currently ships items globally and can ship many large items via Freight services.

Bid Sales

Another method for selling unique or specialty items is through the confidential bid process. Items are assigned a minimum bid and bids are accepted for an advertised period of time (usually 2 weeks). The winning bidder is notified by phone following the bid close. Winning bids are posted once the item is paid for.
