County Surplus Property
Available via the Internet
Beginning in December 2003, Buncombe County began selling surplus property via the Internet. The property is auctioned through an online auction service called GovDeals. The website for GovDeals is www.govdeals.com. This service offers the citizens of Buncombe County an opportunity to purchase surplus items year round as opposed to an annual County auction.
In order to find out what surplus items Buncombe County currently has available for auction simply visit the GovDeals homepage and click on the link "click here to go directly to the GovDeals auction", select "advanced search" on the next page, and then select Buncombe County from the list of sellers. If Buncombe County is not listed, there are no surplus items currently available for auction. You may want to bookmark the website since surplus items are put up for auction as they become available.
You must register with GovDeals in order to bid on an item, but you do not have to register to view what items are available. All items are sold "as is" and Buncombe County reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Buncombe County accepts only cash and cashier checks for payment on surplus items.
