SIFE Sales

Thank you for your interest in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

SIFE Sales was started in 2001 under the name “UNL Surplus Online Sales.” The program was started as a way to provide goods to the general public that are no longer useful to the University. Rather than gather dust in warehouses, valuable equipment can be repurposed to public buyers. This helps University departments recover significant revenue.

In 2009, UNL Surplus began a transition to SIFE Sales. Students in Free Enterprise, or S.I.F.E. for short, is a student organization that applies students’ classroom experiences to develop and implement educational outreach programs. Student workers are given the opportunity to apply the principles of market economics, entrepreneurship, personal financial success skills, environmental sustainability and business ethics in the workplace.
