I recently made my first purchase from these gentlemen, I bought a portable battery jump starter, flashlight device thing. It retails for something like $180, I think I paid 36 bucks for it. The warehouse was very clean and the gentleman that helped me was very helpful and very professional. Spot on performance guys, keep it up
Fantastic experience. With online auctions, you never know what you may get but with Surplus Depot Auctions, they clearly describe the items, if there is damage or missing parts and what they are. I recently won my first item and the communications for pickup were fantastic, easy to follow, and the item was ready for me. I was greeted at the door and the transaction was very smooth. Definitely looking for more items that I need and will use them again!
A great place to get a variety of treasures or even things YOU NEED ! They have very good detailed descriptions of what you are buying - no surprises along with great prices . Great communication with easy pickup and top of the line shipping. I highly recommend Surplus Depot for your online auction shopping 👍🏼👍🏼 THANKS MATT !
I had a wonderful experience with this online auction house. The customer service is truly outstanding. The team is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and they go above and beyond to make the entire shopping experience smooth and enjoyable. Matt and the team are such kind, genuine people who truly care about their customers. On a few occasions, they even stayed late for me when they did not have to, just to make sure everything was taken care of. That level of dedication and support means so much. Thank you, Matt, and the entire team, for all that you do. I truly enjoy doing business with you and appreciate your hard work and kindness. Highly recommend!
SUPER honest auction house! You know how you might find an auto mechanic or a lawyer that is honest ..and you grab on tight and hold onto them with both hands? Well, Matt is the real deal!! He and his crew go through all lots and strive to give the best, most accurate description INCLUDING FAULTS/DEFECTS/MISSING PARTS (even though this could be viewed as detrimental to his hammer price). Being human, they can, of course, miss things from time to time. The thing that sets Surplus Depot apart from other auction houses is that, if they miss something, Matt will make it right! I know this because of 1 lot, NOT because it has been any sort of a pervasive problem!! In conclusion, I would like to ask the general public not to bid against me (in return for reassuring everyone via my positive review) 😂. UPDATE...I wanted to leave another positive review but can't seem to do that, can only edit the one I already did...I am SUPER PSYCHED!!! I just paid $26 for a $129 dollar mini circular saw with a handle for reaching in small places! What a find! What a buy! What a STEAL!!! Are you KIDDING ME??? 20% of retail??? Yee haw! I will do that ALL DAY LONG!!!

The online auction was great, it was easy to bid, situate the payment and pick up the items. Descriptions were spot on and the bidding was actually pretty fun! Great customer service and organization.

Love the honesty of the auctions! Great value on everything I've gotten so far! I'll be back for more!
Purchased new item at 25% of online price. Pickup quick and easy. Bidding on more items this time around.

Very good experience. I'll be looking forward to their next auction.
I've been involved in 4 auctions at Surplus Depot and every one of them has been awesome! Their customer service is top notch and they answer questions in a very timely manner. I will be doing business with them again for sure. Tom Supple
This is a great place to find incredible bargains either trust worthy people. The descriptions are great and informative and actual pictures of the item you are getting.
Great auction service, satisfied with our purchases; all items are in the condition as described. Pick-up was very well organized and they were very accommodating.
Was pleasantly surprised with how easy the entire process was! From bid to pickup everything went smoothly- my husband and I even discussed how easy it was on the car ride home!
Everything starts at $1.00!! You can pick up or get your stuff delivered, AND they even load the stuff for you!!! You can't beat it!! Great Deals and Great Service!
Auction process was smooth. Description of the items was very accurate. I was very happy with the items purchased as well as pleased with the prices. Pick up was quick and efficient. I arrived, loaded up and was back on the road in under five minutes. I've also had a product shipped as well. Equally as efficient! Cost was as expected a d transparent.

Great place to do your bidding! I got a lot of items that i I am reselling and there have been items that I kept for myself. You can get high value items that are 'like new' for half the price of retail. The staff there is really nice and cool as well. If you ever have a problem, they are willing to help.
Great group of people that run this place! Great communication, and they helped loading up the items! Well buy from again for sure.
Surplus Depot has honest descriptions on the items they sell. I have not been disappointed with my many purchases. Will definitely buy from Matt again. 5/14/26!

Top products. Great communication. Highly recommend.
Excellent pickup process.
Surplus depot is the only online-auction site I will ever use. Great online auction experience, and pickup is simple and quick. They are quick to respond with any questions I have.
This is a wonderful auction house. I have dealt with auction houses in the past and found they misrepresented things. They didn’t ship me the things I won. Surplus depot was fantastic. The items are exactly as described, the items were purchased at a great price. I live a little over an hour away from the auction house. Matt called me to let me know shipping was going to be rather expensive because I won a lot of lots. I appreciate that call. I drove down and picked up my items and they saved me a lot of money. I am definitely looking forward to working with them again in the future.

I like this auction. They tell you upfront the condition of the product and they have the pictures to match. I've done the auction a couple times. The first time I had the items delivered, which was a little expensive. The second time I picked up the items from the warehouse, which was much more cost effective. The team is communicative and helpful. I highly recommend these auctions!
I had a terrific experience with my auction....the products were described exactly as they were, no embellishments or hidden issues. Upon pick up, staff was very accommodating and helpful. I am definitely going to keep visiting and purchasing from Surplus Depot!!
Excellent site, notifications when you losing bids, shipping, all well informed answers to all my questions.
Great and smooth. From the bidding to the pickup, the transaction went smooth, product was all in great shape and worked out nicely.
Excellent experience, easy pick up. Item was as described and portrayed in the pictures. Nice people to do business with.
The products I've purchased through surplus depot, have all been exactly as represented in the description. I really like that they'll show you pictures of the packaging if there's is any and damage, and if there is any to product. Lots of available hours to pick up too.
Great deals. Already recommended to several friends. Will definitely buy from them again.
Super easy pick up. They used the forklift to help me load some appliances into my truck that would have been a nightmare with just ramps and a dolly.
Snagged a sweet Hunter backpack for $20. Website and auction were easy to navigate and pickup was easy! Can't wait for more finds, it's like a little treasure hunt each time!
Great transaction and great pickup experience - Thx Matt
Good auction, good communication, easy pickup. Highly recommended!
I realize these items are returned, however I have spent too much on items that did not work. I did purchase a beautiful chair for little money, so that is a plus. The gamble is not worth it for appliances and kitchen gadgets. Will not be participating in any further auctions.
Should not sell things you KNOW are broken and unrepairable.
Excellent to work with! Fair prices and they offered me a refund an a $20 item when it was going to cost $270 to ship it! That’s customer service. And their communication was intuitive and transparent.
Great communication. Great service
This place came on my radar by chance. I’m so glad it did. Terrific variety to choose from. I was able to get the item I wanted. Got it but had an issue that Matt from surplus depot handled to perfection. Would totally recommend and will be checking weekly for new items
Wow I found the coolest, simplest auction site. All the bidding is via the web and most stay open for a week. I have made two purchases each week and can not be any happier. Everything I bought has been exactly as it was described. I'm picking up my Grandfather clock tomorrow. Total cost under $24.
Great auction house. Accurate details and GREAT prices when all is done. Bid and have fun!

Had a solid experience working with Matt and the team. They are highly professional, efficient, and run a incredibly seamless business operation. Highly recommend their business!
Surplus Depot is an exciting auction with items you can't find everywhere. The items are authentic as well as the details that help you to make the decision to bid. My experiences are what keep me coming back for the next auction.
Very nice I like it. We shopping from here every time.
Amazing customer service!
Great to work with Matt. Honest and friendly.
Product was as described. They helped.me load it in my truck! Very friendly. Will bid again on future auctions.
This was my second visit. The pick up of the items was very simple. They do a good job of keeping things organized.
