I found 2 great keyboards on Craiglist for 2 really great prices, and soon discovered they were…read morebeing sold by MSU Surplus. It was a long drive and I was worried that the keyboard would be sold by the time I got there (unfortunately, you can't 'hold' items, nor buy over the phone, luckily they only sell Tu and Fr so you can really plan your purchases if you wanted). When I got to the store I was a bit awestruck, it is really as eclectic as they say. One of the keyboards had sold, though they remembered me from my phonecalls and *really* hooked me up on the other keyboard... and THEN they also hooked me up with *another* really awesome keyboard and 2 pairs of headphones. Besides this, I was actually touched by the considerate service and their ability and desire to care about the items in the store. Laptop batteries were removed from laptops to improve their longevity and then organized into ziplock bags along with flash drives loaded with the original OS; they bought foot-pedals for keyboards and included them with the keyboard; I also bought a laptop and they included a laptop bag of my choosing; and the experience with the staff was superb. I haven't experienced service like that in a resale store ever, not to mention possibly any store. I will be back!

This place is MSU's garage sale. I've purchased some great used Steelcase desks here. They always seem to have a pretty full supply of discarded MSU furniture. Otherwise, they sell pretty much everything: Bikes, used computers, random medical electronics, kitchen equipment, cars, old televisions, a preserved horse leg, etc. They are usually open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Keep your schedule open.
