Surplus Purchasing & Sales

The Surplus Store is open to University departments, state agencies, non-profits and the general public. Browsing and purchasing hours vary depending on who you are purchasing for. Specific times can be found on the Surplus Store page. New items are added to the store regularly, so check back often.

Public auctions are held approximately six times a year and include live on-line bidding with Proxibid.
