Station EquipmentThere has not been a time when I needed assistance that I did not receive it immediately. I find Municibid to be the best tool for municipalities to repurpose no-longer-needed items and equipment by finding them a new home!

We have sold numerous things on Municibid, from large equipment to very small equipment to things we didn’t really think people would want to buy. Municibid was able to reach an audience that allowed us to sell every item. The best thing that happened to us this year was the introduction of the Municibid app. It allows us to go out in the field with a cell phone or iPad and create and post the listing from there.

The staff has been incredibly responsive to any concern, making sure that all sales transactions are completed with no problems. Our only regret is that we did not find Municibid sooner.

Lowell sits along the Merrimack River in northeastern Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. Incorporated as a town in 1826, it received its city charter in 1836 and grew into one of America's first planned industrial cities. Today, Lowell is home to 120,418 residents, according to the Census, and operates under a Plan E council-manager form of government.
The city's mill and canal system, once the engine of its industrial growth, is preserved today within Lowell National Historical Park, offering residents and visitors a window into that history. The University of Massachusetts Lowell remains a major institution in the city, contributing to its ongoing civic and educational life.
