BEN's Attic

Penn’s Internal Surplus Property Marketplace

BEN’s Attic is the University of Pennsylvania’s online platform for redistributing surplus equipment and supplies across campus. Managed by Procurement Services, the site enables departments to buy, sell, or repurpose items through an easy-to-use internal marketplace.

All Penn faculty and staff with a valid PennKey can browse listings, suggest items, or make purchases. Users will be asked to provide their department’s Business Administrator when participating in transactions. Please review all applicable policies before using the site.

BEN’s Attic supports Penn’s commitment to sustainability by helping departments extend the life of usable goods, reduce waste, and lower costs.
