Jesus and another gentleman were very helpful with loading the 5 drawer file cabinet I purchased today for an amazing $10 plus tax. Everyone is so friendly and courteous! read more

One of my children had requested a desk. Having heard that ASU has a property surplus, I decided to check it out. Immediately greeted upon entering. We were asked if we had been to the warehouse before. Answering that we hadn't, it was explained that auction items are on the left, and items for sale are on the right. These are primarily items the university has replaced, or items students and staff have left behind. Rows of mismatched office desks to choose from. We settled on a smaller sized deck. It is older yet built to last. It is probably a good 20 years old, and possibly has another 20 years of life in it. The desk was only $10! For another $5, an all plastic chair with wheels was purchased to go with it. I was hoping to find a bookshelf as well. The bookshelves they had were either not in the style or condition I wanted. Along with office furniture, the ASU Surplus store side has computers, laptops, random office equipment and clothing. Surprisingly, they even had dozens of cleats that were new in the box. Unfortunately, they did not have cleats in the size/sport combinations that would work for any of my children. The auction side was a crazy mix of items. See photos. On the day of my visit, there was a mix of large machinery. Auctions are run through an online auction house. Checking out was easy. The guy who helped me was polite. He was very nice about assisting me in loading my purchase into my vehicle. Make sure to bring a credit or debit card. ASU Property Surplus does not accept cash. All sales are final. Items are as-is. read more

See all

Went to look here for some furniture and home items. There are great deals for chairs, couches, and desks. They also have mini fridges, tv screens, lamps, and other office stuff. Got a great full length mirror for $10. The warehouse is extremely warm in the summer but worth the trip for the prices. read more

Arizona State University Surplus Property - Inside warehouse - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sometimes you just need some random ASU sun devil lockers or bleacher seats. Maybe your looking for a test tube centrifuge or filing cabinets? Key word here is Random and that is what you will find. From printer toner, old lap tops, power cords/charges, mad scientist lab like instruments, a cello or piano, office supplies, food trucks or golf carts combined with lost and abandoned dorm or college kid crap. They have auctions once a month....I think the 1st or 2'd Thursday of the month. Preshopping advisory: the Clientele are the standard serial hoarder or Uni-bomber type mixed with an occasional Lieutenant Dan whispering my precious near the machinery parts. They are most likely harmless however it's a bit of a shocker if you're not prepared. read more

I have come here on and off for years. At first it was after a recommendation that this was a great to get a great used bike cheap. That is no longer true... The best time to look for bikes here based on selection is 3 months after the school year ends. This is when the bike have been cut off the racks around campus and then waited for original owners claim them. I went this year for that first weekend after the were released be sold. There were around 30 - 40 bikes. Usually there are 6 to 12 most other times. Yet, I think too many have heard about great bike deals, and ASU Surplus has started to overprice these bikes they got for free. Prices now start at $35 for a rusted bike without a seat to well over a $100 for a respectable one. There were several used Huffy beach cruiser style bikes that had noticeable wear from being on an outdoor bike rack for months that had a price tag of $65 plus. These bikes sell new at WalMart for around $125. Obviously, I not pick up a spare bike here and turned instead to craiglist. Otherwise, it if an OK place to sporadically find things like unique vintage chairs, unworn athletic shoes and equipment, or computer accessories like a power cord for an old portable computer. read more

I bought my couch here for $3. You read that correctly. My couch costs less than a Pumpkin Spice Latte from your favorite chain coffee shop. Come here if you want cheap (but used): book shelves, filing cabinets, office chairs, desks of all sizes, random office supplies like hole punchers, tables, bikes (the bikes are kinda overpriced TBH), folders, podiums... Like, you probably should just buy new folders from Walmart, but it's nice to know that if I ever need used folders, I can come here. Annoying that they close so early, but oh well. Your best bet is to come here when the spring semester has ended, and it's summer time. I imagine the stock is the best at that time of the year. If you're filming and need props for a pretend school scene, COME HERE. You can get a podium, a filing cabinet, LOCKERS.. The randomest shit. I love it. I visited the past weekend and they were selling those movie theater-looking chairs with the ASU logo. So cool and random. LOL. I bought my couch here for $3. (Yes, I steam cleaned it and whatever. Like, it was $3 and I needed a couch ASAP. HOW COULD I PASS IT UP.) read more

It looks like I'm letting the secret out! I heard about ASU surplus and I knew I had to go! The surplus warehouse is a big secret, and even I had never heard of it until just recently. Basically, any items that grow too old for ASU come here and are sold for super cheap. There is a large warehouse full of cheap office chairs (ranging anywhere from 3-10 dollars), tons of large well built metal and wooden desks for about 20 dollars, and bicycles that get left on campus (and nobody claims) for about $30. Talk about cheap!! They also have filing cabinets, some printers and super low priced but working LCD monitors. They even have Mac computers! The stuff is good quality, yet sold for the ridiculously lowest prices ever. I found myself wanting to buy things I didn't even need, simply because of the great deals! If you are a student that needs material for art projects, you might want to come here and check out the selection of old electronics and whatnot. They are open Monday through Friday from 12 to 4 pm. read more

I have been a customer of ASU Surplus for over 5 years. I go every once in a while to see what they have. On a recent visit (9/18/2013) we found a few small office supplies. They are usually "hit or miss" but sometimes you can find magazine holders, etc. I found 2 matching chairs that I purchased for my teenaged sons gaming area. The chairs were cumbersome and a bit heavy but I managed to sort of stack them and get them to the pay window. They have a new cashier here. She is "all business" and not very friendly. All of the employees were sitting in the office. It is the only place that has A/C in the building. When I was done paying for all of my items, I asked her if she could have one of the guys help me put the chairs in my car. She said that I was welcome to use one of their carts. I told her that I had always received help in the past. (I have purchased over 10 chairs; 3 desks; a table; 5 or more computers and dozens of office supplies from ASU Surplus in the past.) I noticed the oldest guy in the office kind of making a face. Then he and a tall, younger guy came out (sort of abruptly) and grabbed my chairs. Right away they said, where's your vehicle? or something like that. They rushed to put the chairs in the back of my suv, I said thanks, they seemed "put out" like I was cutting into their day. I guess if I decide to go back....I will have to bring a couple of movers with me??? read more

If you are even thinking of buying a computer, I've lowered it to one star. I just gave up on the Apple computer I bought here. One problem after another, I finally gave up when it kept crashing every two to three minutes. I put on the most expensive virus system possible. Nothing helps this machine I was sold. End result is I am junking the thing. Buy furniture here, buy office supplies. Buy a computer...never. read more

I have found some great deals here, Including a bike in good condition for $35.00. Also some decent office furniture. Last two times I went to get office furniture all the decent looking stuff had a $5.00 price tag and was "sold" to someone named Samantha. Interesting how this same person keeps getting there to get all the nice stuff first. However, I drove out there today to get something for my office and they were closed when they were supposed to be open. So stuff wise, you can find great stuff if Samantha doesn't buy it all first, service wise good if they are open when they say they will be. read more

My husband suggested coming here when we started talking about getting bikes. I was pretty excited to check it out. There was a sign in the front starting something to the effect that their bike inventory changes daily. I must have caught them on an off day. Oh well, more reason to go back. Tons of office equipment...chairs, huge desks, filling cabinets. They had a lot of computer monitors and some new in box printers. I don't know a thing about computers but I wouldn't really trust buying one from here. That's just me though. If you buy something and don't have the means to get it home you have 7 days to pick it up, which is nice. They also have auctions. read more

Great opportunity to find items you may not have known you were in need if! Helpful staff, lots to see.

I like the idea of this place more than the actual place. In theory they could have Apple computers at steep discounts and furniture mad cheap that the university doesn't need anymore that I could possibly give a second life. Unfortunately the stuff they don't need is normally old dell computers, old mac's and about 1000 file cabinets. So most the time its crap, but when a dept gets in some cash they update computers and stuff so if you lucky at random times throughout the year you can get an Intel iMac for under 600 dollars which isn't bad at all or you can get a bike that is left in the bike racks on campus for between 50-75 which is actually really good! If you need a cheap bike in pretty good shape DEF hit this place up otherwise its really hit and miss. I'm glad it exists I just wish there was more cool stuff ALL THE TIME... that being said I'll drop by this week sometime again either way. read more

Arizona State University Surplus Property - Who doesn't need this for $25.00 - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've been coming here off and on for the better part of twenty years. Hit or miss for sure.... but certainly a great place to pick up a bike if you need one, misc office supplies and computer cords and the like. The workers here have always been ok to deal with, but sure never excited about customer service, overly friendly out helpful. Maybe they receive instructions to be this way from the seasoned guys when they start, send to be the only explanation I can think of. :-) read more

Bought a 4 year old Dell Inspiron laptop for 25% of the cost of a new one and no problems whatsoever!

A bargain hunter's paradise. You never know what you're really going to find, prices are great.

They moved so my dropping by the new location is doubtful. It's way out of my way now. I used to drop by while on my way home.; Rarely even go down broadway. read more

I bought a Dell desktop 3 weeks ago. NONE of the USB ports work. No returns. $120.00 down the drain. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!

So I work at ASU and I came here to get something for my office and for the department, so this was all work-related and not for my private home use. Still, the service was REALLY good for basically an ASU garage sale. I got a black metal 3-shelf bookcase for my office for $20, a brand-new appearing wheelchair for our dept for $25 (these are the prices that people off the street would've paid too). For ASU depts the products are shipped back to the dept by salvage and in fact you are not allowed to take possession of them in a non-ASU vehicle. Fine by me given that I just drive a little hatchback. Made my purchase on a Wednesday and the items were delivered to my dept on Friday. Color me (and my dept) happy! If you need office supplies, seriously check this place out first - they had pencil holders, bookends, shelves/bookcases of all sizes, metal filing cabinets (cheap here, expensive at Staples/Office Max!), desks, tables, office chairs galore (and most in terrific condition), computers, printers and bikes. To me, it looked like most tables, chairs and file cabinets were in the $20-25 range and worth it. Lots of little Dell laptops in the $125-150 range - refurbished of course. I'm told it's hit or miss here, but I'm describing what things looked like the day I was here, mid-July. Only a few bikes, but they looked like good ones, in the $75 range (not sure I would've paid that much for them but I'm not a bike person and am not sure of the quality of the bikes that were there the day I was - one bike was locked up tight, and had a sticker price of $800 - who the heck abandoned such a good bike on campus???). read more
