The Disposal Sales Agency has expanded its existing website to include an internet auction, allowing potential buyers to bid and pay for ex-government items online.
The Disposal Sales Agency, which is part of the UK Ministry of Defence, works to dispose of surplus equipment on behalf of a number of government departments. The first items listed on the auction website range from ‘his and her’ military uniforms to sleeping bags, tents, vintage vehicles and other memorabilia.
No weapons or ammunition can be sold on the website, and some items can only be sold to registered users.
As an additional feature, the auction website will allow the public to buy equipment directly from contractors that supply the government.
Withams, a contractor responsible for the sale of surplus vehicles, commented, We are optimistic that the auction site will be a success, as it is a very low cost route to accessing a totally new marketplace.
