municibid.com is Transforming One Government Agency at a Time
municibid is changing how the government sells surplus goods.
Philadelphia, PA, August 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- municibid.com, the online government auction website designed specifically for the government is changing how government agencies sell surplus goods and is increasing the local tax base for many agencies in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts. municibid announced today that its newly launched web 2.0 platform is bringing great exposure to the seller’s (government’s) auction items at no charge.
Founder, Greg Berry said, “The free service does not charge the seller a commission or any listing fees.” A Pennsylvania County’s District Attorney’s Office is selling a forfeited Rolex watch on municibid. In another project, a Massachusetts town used municibid.com to sell eight vehicles instead of their usual method of selling surplus items. Listing locally, the city would have made 100 to 200 dollars. Instead, almost 6 thousand dollars was generated on the website,” said Berry. “It’s a good way to get better pricing, because we’re reaching a much broader national and global audience of bidders,” he explained.
The Pottstown, Pennsylvania based municibid.com is different from other government auction websites because it lists items all over the social web to target bidders of specific items. It integrates into the social media world via facebook, twitter, YouTube, Linkedin and more.
Government merchandise is now a click away from a huge online audience, resulting in more bids and more money. The selling process is fast and the website is easy to use.
In 2007, Berry, as a member of the town council, launched the site after seeing firsthand the burdensome process of selling borough merchandise for little money using the traditional sealed bid process.
“Some government agencies are slow to adopt technology to solve problems, but this is a no brainer, they earn much more for their items, it’s easy to use and it’s free,” said Berry, “it just works,” he added.
