This place is like a fever dream. There is a bunch of useful electronics, home goods, chairs. And then a bunch of surreal stuff I am not sure where it came from.
Wdym there is a whole antique horse buggy?!?
Very helpful employees. A lot of items to look at like office furniture, lab supplies, restaurant tables and equipment, computers, monitors, tv's, tons of books, kitchen utensils, vehicles, farm equipment, side by sides, just a few examples but many, many more things.
You can find pretty much anything here. Originally grew up in NH, which has SO many resale shops, and I can vouch this place has pretty reasonable pricing. If you're looking for cheap functional computers, you can find some good deals with some solid hardware. Would suggest!
Want some good stuff MSU students leave behind, or get possessed? The MSU Surplus Store is for you! Located on Farm Lane near the Football Green Parking Lot, MSU Surplus has computers, lots of bikes, mini fridges, jerseys, etc all for a huge discount! Come shop MSU Surplus today!
This facility collects used items and resells them at a much lower price than the original. They have everything from office supplies to clothing, they have electronics, books, and furniture. It is a great way for people to practice 'reuse reduce and recycle '! By shopping at the surplus store you not only saving the Earth but you also get to save some money
I love buying books for my kids here! Just got a lot of box car children books and some other favorites that looked new and gave them to the kids in their Easter baskets. They loved them!
They have the strangest collections available for sale here. It's insane what some people leave behind. I highly recommend checking their website first before going in blind because you will overlook something that won't be there next time and that's always a bummer.
You can find a lot of cool stuff here but this is not the same store it was before they moved. Not everything is a bargain anymore and at times the store is so packed that there are not parking spots. This once hidden gem is more like a typical thrift store with marked up prices. Sign up for their newsletter and follow them on social media and wait for sales to feel like you got a deal.
Just bought this desk for my international PhD student. $5.00 After 45 minutes of goo gone, Clorox cleanup (for the mold) , rubbing alcohol, scratch cover and furniture polish, it looks almost new. Staff was great...very helpful!
I love the maple syrup, honey, and other items made on campus. You'll have the best experience shopping here for furniture, electronics, and other items if you come here often so that you can catch the good items when they arrive. Prices are excellent.
Great store that helps MSU and caring people recycle. Fun place to find furniture, eclectic items, maple syrup (made from trees on campus) and so many different things each time you visit. Check out their FB page to see the special items for sale each day that MSU Surplus is open. Make sure you check the hours they are open. Great place to take visitors to pick up fun souvenirs.
Lots of fun. Big mix of everything, you never know what interesting things you'll find. Great just to browse. Combine it with a trip to the MSU Dairy Store if you're touring campus. Be sure to check out the hours before you go. Not open all the time.
I was able to purchase some floor sections of the MSU practice court early in the morning. While I was there, I took some time to scout out the rest of the sale items. There's some reasonable deals, along with some random items and prices that make me shake my head. The guy that managed the MSU practice floor craze did a fantastic job though - kept us all informed, and kept the line moving along.
A wide variety of really useful stuff, at really reasonable prices. I picked up a large piece of nylon and it was cheaper than I could have gotten anywhere else, and I think they were happy to get rid of it. Only open to the public a few days a week so check their website. Definitely worth the trip though.
Similar to other reviews. Interesting selection, with occasional great finds. Most items are very overpriced. Hours are also very limited. Staff is helpful and friendly. Good for cheap furniture and odd lot items in bulk, but otherwise, hard to justify rearranging my schedule to browse with any regularity.
