Surplus Goods
Depending on the nature or condition of the good, the City may post goods that have been declared surplus. After a prospective buyer has created an account on the GovDeals user-friendly website, buyers will have access to all surplus items from a multitude of agencies that are available for auction. The items are sold “as is, where is”, meaning that it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure the condition and specification of the goods meets their needs before placing a bid. Please note that by placing a bid, you are making a contract between yourself and the seller. Once a bid has been placed, you may not retract it. At any time prior to the auction closing, the City of Niagara Falls reserves the right to suspend or cancel the offer to sell the posted item.
