Liquidation.com is one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the space, with genuinely everything — general merchandise, electronics, apparel, industrial equipment, even vehicles — plus sibling site GovDeals.com for government surplus (both operated by parent Liquidity Services). Its structural edge over B-Stock is the buyer premium: 5–10% varying by listing rather than a flat 10%, which can meaningfully lower your effective cost on the right lot. The flip side is that a variable premium makes cost calculation harder, so read each listing’s fee before you bid. The interface is dated, condition varies widely, and some listings carry thin manifests. The tactical play is the "Lots Ending Soon" filter, where underpriced lots with less competition surface — and GovDeals routinely hides cheap IT equipment and office furniture worth chasing.
