Summary
Have you ever wanted to convert a school bus, or maybe build a custom camper from an ambulance? Perhaps you need to sell surplus fleet vehicles or used equipment? Greg Barry has built the platform to meet both these needs. He recently celebrated the 18-year anniversary of launching Municibid to connect governments with buyers looking for used vehicles. Now, Greg has launched Surplus.com to do the same thing for private industry.
Whether you're looking for your next skoolie project, or need to sell a dump truck, Greg has made the process easy and affordable. Learn how he built these sites and why. Discover the challenges he's overcome, and how he's built a completely remote team for development, sales, and marketing to build his dream lifestyle business.
GUEST BIO: Greg Berry is the Founder & CEO of Municibid and Surplus.com. Greg started his first business out of high school in 1998, served on his local city council in 2005, and as a result founded Municibid in 2006. He sold his IT company in 2010 to focus on the exploding growth of Municibid. As he now launches Surplus.com, Greg enjoys taking his RV on long trips across the US.
