Ua Surplus Storefront

Need a $10 filing cabinet in excellent condition? How about a Steelcase desk for less than $50? You really never know what you'll find and there's something new out on the storefront everyday. The auctions are fun, too! Save yourself a ton of money if you're setting up a new workspace and check out the UofA storefront first!

This is my go to place for basic furniture - couches, tables, desks and chairs. Items are generally sturdy and prices are good. Inventory varies *a lot* so get on their mailing list. The best place in town to find a used bike, but they don't last long.

Absolutely terrible person at the check-out counter today and I called back when I got home to ask a question and she was rude again on the phone. Hopefully U of A is not paying her bc you can find volunteers much nicer than her. You need to frequent this store because everything is always picked over unless you're there all the time and the stuff is used beyond used.UPDATE: I was able to fix the item I purchased myself so I'm updating my review to say that the equipment, altho used, can be repaired with patience. Still unexcusable impoliteness of the cashier however.
