West Chester, PA Signs Deal with municibid.com

West Chester, Pa brings sales of their surplus goods online with with municibid.com.

Pottstown, PA, February 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- West Chester County will partner with municibid.com (http://www.municibid.com) to sell the municipality's surplus equipment on a web-based auction platform, helping to boost non-tax municipality revenues. municibid.com is an Internet auction website developed specifically for government entities looking for an innovative, exciting, and profitable way to turn surplus equipment into cash.

As a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to traditional live government auctions, municibid.com offers an easy-to-use, attractive web-service that allows governments to post items for sale in a live auction format...open to the public. The company is on the frontier of expanding accessibility to government auctions in a way that is both friendly and convenient for buyers and fast and profitable for sellers.

West Chester County joins several hundred other Pennsylvania government entities that have already signed up with municibid.com. Once registered, local governments can immediately begin to reap the benefits of utilizing Internet auctions to attract viewers, enhance interest, and infuse municipal revenues.

municibid.com is specifically designed to enable governmental entities to increase non-tax revenue by allowing them to sell a vast array of surplus items including vehicles and heavy equipment on the Internet, which exposes their items to a much larger audience than old-fashioned silent auctions allow.

What separates municibid.com from its competition is attractive pricing. As America is rising out of difficult economic times, it is more important than ever for local governments to maintain their budgets with fiscal responsibility. municibid.com's pricing scheme allows local governments to do just that. municibid.com charges a flat fee for a one-year membership that allows users to post an unlimited number of auctions. Furthermore, municibid.com has zero additional commissions or listing fees. The flat fee allows the government entity to know their costs while keeping 100% of the proceeds from the sale, thereby maximizing revenue infusions. With this pricing model, using municibid.com is almost an act of patriotism.

"We are very excited to have West Chester on-board," said Greg Berry. "They are a marquee name for the Philadelphia area and will bring great value to our bidders with the amount of goods they are likely to sell."

Bidders can register free of charge at the municibid website www.municibid.com
