How to Resell Surplus and Make Money

One of the biggest advantages of buying on GovDeals is the resale opportunity. Whether you're side hustling on weekends or building a full-blown business, government surplus can feed your inventory at unbeatable costs.

Where to Resell

• Facebook Marketplace: Great for local resales — especially for selling items like furniture, tools, and equipment.
• eBay: Ideal for smaller items, electronics, or collectibles with national interest.
• Craigslist: Still works for certain categories and larger items like vehicles or trailers.
• Flea Markets or Auctions: In-person sales can help you move inventory quickly and profitably.

Flipping Tips

• Clean and Repair: A little polish goes a long way. Items in good visual condition sell faster and at higher prices.
• Do Your Research: Before bidding, check recent selling prices on resell platforms to ensure a strong profit margin.
• Tell the Story: Buyers love knowing the item’s origin. “From a local school district in Arizona” or “Used in a city fleet” can help add credibility and appeal.
• Bundle for Value: If you bought a lot of similar items, bundle them into sets or offer bulk deals to attract buyers.
