How it works
The U.S. Embassies are selling surplus movable property (SMP) via a Web Based Electronic Auction. Each auction will be activated for a period of time clearly stating the start and end date. This information is available on the information panel of the web application. Usually it will be active from Monday to Friday lasting two weeks.
During this period you can actively take part and submit your bid for the surplus property. We strongly recommend you read all the information published online regarding the condition of items being offered for sale before submitting bids, as lots are offered on an “as is and where is” basis and are non refundable once payment is made and cannot be returned once picked up. Maximum number of bids on one item is stated at each item. Increasing your bids is possible only in the local currency name.
During the auction you should monitor your bids so you can react on all bids price development. Lot winners on the Embassy Belgrade Online-Auction can retrieve their goods at Savski Nasip 7 (Warehouse), Novi Beograd. Please note the designated dates and times for collection on your winners e-mail. Email for winners will consist link to the auction application where you can review your items, after successful login.
