Gov. Andrew Cuomo today announced that the Office of General Services will launch "NYSStore," an eBay-based online platform to sell unneeded state vehicles and other excess state assets. It will offer surplus state goods including office supplies, computers, cell phones, furniture, medical equipment, cameras, generators, tools and other supplies that are no longer needed by the state. The sale will begin in early April with inventories updated regularly.
A new fleet management system has been set up to consolidate the state’s vehicle fleet, and the state has identified nearly 500 vehicles to be part of the first online sale.
The vehicles will be offered through the NYSStore, via eBay, beginning in April. Vehicles will be available for inspection at the Harriman State Office Campus, and the Department of Motor Vehicles will have a satellite office on the campus to facilitate the sale and registration of the vehicles.
"By selling unneeded equipment and supplies, New York state will reduce operating costs and cut back on excess spending and inventory," Cuomo said. "This initiative is a small part of our work to overhaul government operations and make the state work more efficiently for the taxpayer."
