When an individual receives a replacement PC or MAC, the computer that is declared surplus by the department may be purchased by the individual that received the new computer.  The computer that is declared surplus by the department head does not necessarily have to be the unit that came off that employee's desk.  The employee who had their unit replaced may buy the unit, declared as surplus, at the "buy-it-now" price before the unit is sent to surplus property for auction.  Units not purchased by the employees will be added to the group of computers that can be purchased or bid upon by the general public.

General Public (Including NKU employees)

We will establish a minimum bid price, as determined by previous surplus property sales, and a "buy-it-now" price.  These sales will be posted on our website and may be purchased at the "buy-it-now" price or bid upon.  However, if all computers are sold at the "buy-it-now" price, no bids will be considered.

At the "buy-it-now" price, the PC will be sold on a first come first served basis.  Any remaining computers left in the sale will then be sold to the highest bidder.
