Looking for a bicycle, exercise equipment, children’s furniture or even a vehicle? Loudoun County’s October surplus auction offers shoppers a chance to find a bargain while giving government-owned items a second life.

The online auction features a wide assortment of items, including children’s toys, wooden lockers, shelves, tables, bicycles, exercise equipment and vehicles. Office equipment, computers, books and other miscellaneous items are also available.
Bidding closes at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 15.

Photographs, descriptions and bidding information are available on the Loudoun County Public Surplus auction website.

The county conducts its surplus auctions through Public Surplus, an online marketplace for government agencies. Anyone interested in bidding must register at publicsurplus.com.

Registration is free, but a 9.75% buyer’s premium applies to all purchases. County employees are subject to bidding restrictions outlined in the auction’s terms and conditions.

Winning bidders must pick up their purchases by appointment at 14 Cardinal Park Drive, Suite 106, in Leesburg. Pickup hours are 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m., on the dates specified in each item’s auction listing.

In addition to offering shoppers an opportunity to purchase surplus goods, the auctions help reduce waste by keeping reusable items out of the Loudoun County landfill.
