Surplus Sales and Auctions
CMU Surplus Sales is responsible for selling CMU's surplus and salvage equipment. Items are sold via monthly public sales, public auctions and online auctions.
Surplus equipment is evaluated for quality, function, and safety. If an item is determined to be unfit for use or is no longer useful, it is sent for public sale. Equipment and furnishings that are in reusable condition are transferred to university departments as requested.​
Online auctions
​​​CMU Surplus Sales uses Public Surplus as our online auction partner. This site hosts auctions for K-12, higher education, and local and state government agencies from across the United States. There are no private party sellers.
