Our Story
Founded by industry professionals with decades of hands-on experience in the electrical distribution and surplus equipment market, Surplus Electrical Buyer was built on a simple principle: make it easy for people to sell their surplus electrical equipment at fair prices. Over the past two decades, we have purchased equipment from thousands of sellers — from single-item contractors to multi-million-dollar plant decommissions — and built a reputation for honest dealing, fast payment, and hassle-free logistics.
What We Buy
We purchase virtually every type of surplus electrical equipment including circuit breakers (molded case, air, insulated case), electrical transformers (dry-type, oil-filled, pad-mounted), switchgear (low and medium voltage), electric motors (AC, DC, all HP ratings), bus plugs and busway, motor control centers, disconnect switches, panel boards, and more. We buy from all major manufacturers including Square D, Siemens, Eaton, Westinghouse, ABB, GE, and many others.
