University Of Washington Surplus Store

interesting selection for cheap! tons of science gear like lab goggles n flasks n stuff. got a really neat desk with retractable surfaces and built-in wrist rest for around 10 dollars

UW Surplus is only open to the public one day a week but is worth visiting in person! It's a well run store. If it's your first visit, I recommend coming right before they open, as one of the staff members will go over their pickup processes and answer any questions. They have a generous 1 week pickup policy, so if you find something awesome and can't take it home that day, you have time to rent a truck and come back for pickup. I also recommend signing up for their newsletter. It gives you a good preview of upcoming stock, but also some fun commentary when they receive odd items.

Well managed, friendly, helpful. Manager goes out of her way to be the best. As a disabled vet living on a small
stipend her work is appreciated

This place is great. I found binders, chairs, & tables.

Awesome place! Open hours don’t match online, attaching photo of store hours posted on door.

Couch $25, chairs/tables/desks $5, good quality stuff if you can shop only on Tuesdays 10-3:30 then come back with a truck before 3:30pm Wed-Fri to pick up. They also have online public auctions. Nice folks.

Perfect place to buy subsidized furniture. It is used bur in good condition. The only concern is transferring them to your place. You can either book a UW Haul or book a service by taskrabbit.

One of my favorite places to shop! Still online for the public, bit you never know what they will have. All the staff have been helpful- I really appreciate thier service!

Easy to find & great online shopping experience. Since you have to call on arrival, watch out for weird mobile experiences. I had to walk almost all the way to 25th to get a clear signal. It's not far, but I wasn't expecting to have service issues.

Great place to find deals on desks, monitors, chairs, books, laboratory equipment and more. Open to the public on Tuesdays.

Soooo much goodness. Especially the vintage file cabinets, knick knacks and chairs. Such deals.

Firstly: This store is only open to the public very limited days, check their hours before you go.
Wow. We had no idea this place existed, and now that we've shared with our friends, it seems to be less well known that I'd have expected. If you want office furniture and you're willing to take something used and maybe give it a bit of TLC, then this is where you want to be. They also have a lot of UW sports related clothing that are no longer being used including game worn gear, older PCs, some interesting science lab equipment including a ton of glass - graduated cylinders, beakers, test tubes, shelves of random stuff that could contain anything: blank vhs tapes, plumbing stuff, old vacuums. They also have auctions with tons of amazing electronics, sometimes boats, and loads of other awesome random things! It's not easy to describe, go check it out, and then go again and find all different stuff!

They have the most random stuff at bargain prices. Especially good selection of (old) office supplies.

From the mundane to the wacky - you will certainly find it here! Great deals on office supplies, furniture, lab glass, decorations, UW sporting clothing and even a coffin (theater discard)! Check out their quarterly auctions and large items or lots on govdeals. They have a restroom and a handicapped ramp but be warned...street parking in this area is extremely limited and not allowed in the building lot.

The place for used office furniture (chairs, mostly) and dorm fridges. Oh and keyboards. So. Many. Keyboards.

I tell every student I meet about the awesome surplus store. I've got an old UW tack board that is super awesome for $10 and tons of UW gear for way lower prices than I would of from the UW bookstore.

A great place to buy used electronics and computer equipment. I purchased a $28 sound bar for $6; it works great. The staff is very helpful too!

My only experience is shopping online and picking up from the loading bays. Good deals from time to time with easy pickup!

Very friendly and quick staff, a little bit hard to figure out the entrance to the location but it's quite possible to make u-turns to figure out how to get in.

If you buy office furniture, desktop computers, or supplies anywhere else, you're paying WAY too much. Open to the public Tuesday afternoons.
