Throughout 2023, we had the privilege of experiencing significant moments of growth and fostering meaningful connections with our clients in New Jersey, working together to create a better future for surplus. Participating in our marketplace allows us all to strive toward a more sustainable future. We at GovDeals are grateful for your continued support!
It has certainly been an exciting year for the state of New Jersey. During 2023, a collective of 452 sellers in the state sold more than 7,000 items, accumulating $13.2 million in surplus revenue for their agencies! This year our New Jersey clients sold everything from real estate, heavy equipment, cars, trucks, and SUVs, to computers, office equipment, and furniture.
Some highlights from the year include:
- A Community Center: After Lacey Township opened its new Charles A. Smith Community Center, it partnered with GovDeals to sell the former Lacey Community Center. At the close of the sale, the agency was able to garner $1.5 million in revenue.
- A LOT of Buses: The New Jersey Transit Authority sold their decommissioned buses in a dozen large auctions, clearing out several yards of space and gaining six figures in revenue for the agency.
- Tier Success: Controlled Auctions allowed the Milburn Board of Education to restrict their computer equipment auctions to certified e-recycling companies only. As a result, they earned $135,000 while saving more than 100 hours of labor!
Our clients in New Jersey never disappoint us with their variety of surplus. Thank you for doing business with us and contributing towards our mission of reducing waste and creating a more sustainable future for surplus!
