it's only once a month now. used to be every friday morning. it's at the warehouse on the west side of that tunnel that goes under the beltline.

i got the green desk in my gallery there for $3.

Second Friday of the month. Basically, be there at 8AM or don't bother. Stuff goes really fast.

I picked up a pretty nice steel bookcase for $10 there a while back. There's a lot of old computer parts and whatnot, and old furniture, and then some really random stuff. I bought a wooden table for $1. Like 8'X4'. It was decorated just about all over with gum and people had scrathed their names and whatnot into it, but hey, $1.

Those things look awesome stripped and clearcoated, but they're freakishly heavy. At least the one I had was.

i'm assuming the used projectors and good stuff goes pretty quick. Anyone ever get a HDTV from one of these places?

there's one day when you can go look over the stuff, but not buy anything. used to be every thursday, but idk when it is now that they've moved to once a month.

there's a zero percent chance that you're going to get a working projector or an HDTV from the NCSU surplus sale. especially right now, with the budget issues around the state. you'll have to be realistic with your expectations... you'll see a lot of old computers and furniture, and other random stuff.

Yeah. I'd lower your expectations of electronics a handful of notches.

^^ um, see, there's this recession thing going on, and this state budget freeze? that translates into people not throwing things away. why have a weekly sale when you have nothing to offer?

Personally I was always a fan of the drug dealer confiscation auctions down the road on Hillsborough.

I just came up with this amazing plan to camouflage shipping containers as Surplus Outlets that smell like curry, after luring in the dot heads with fantastic bargains you close the thing, toss in some food that smells like defecation, and send that fucking thing back to sacred cow land
