Military Surplus Web Site Helps Launch New Businesses
In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas, but on the Internet, you can surf the infinite waters of new business opportunities. That's exactly what Lonnie and Robin Goodman discovered when they purchased a retired 50-foot naval utility boat from Government Liquidation's Internet auction site (www.govliquidation.com). The Goodman's online purchase was turned into a successful boating business which now charters private and public parties on the lakes of Texas.
"It has always been my dream to own my own business, but I was never quite sure how I could accomplish that goal," said Lonnie Goodman. "I heard about the Government Liquidation auction site from a friend and instantly found the inspiration I needed to start my own company, generate a new source of income and work my dream job."
Government Liquidation holds an exclusive contract with the United States Department of Defense that enables buyers to purchase available U.S. military assets in over 500 different commodity categories, in a convenient and open environment. The site offers surplus buyers a unique and dynamic pool of property for purchase and resale from over 150 military bases throughout the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. Online visitors can browse and bid on thousands of military surplus items that serve as functional equipment, collector's items or the launching pad for new business ventures.
"Many small businesses are ready for success except for that one missing component to finish the process," said Tom Burton, president and COO of Government Liquidation. "Government Liquidation offers a user-friendly, secure, online site for anyone looking for the materials or inspiration to launch a new business." Hundreds of small businesses are taking flight thanks to items purchased from the military surplus auction site.
Lonnie and Robin Goodman are perfect examples of everyday dreamers who discovered a new path in life and opened up a world of possibilities with just a simple click of a mouse.
