20 Years of Building Trust, One Auction Item at a Time
From a simple idea to a nationwide marketplace, Municibid has grown by helping government agencies get better results from every listing.
Municibid is Founded
In 2006, as a newly elected Borough Council member in Pottstown, PA, Greg witnessed firsthand how municipalities were leaving money on the table, selling surplus equipment and goods far below market value. With his tech background, he built Municibid to fix that.
