State Surplus Store 6506 Bolm Road, Austin, TX 78721

"I go here evertime we are in the area. Lots of things to pick from. The items rotate frequently. Desks, tables, chairs and more. Knives, tools, household and more. Vehicles of various sorts from different agencies. Sometimes good deals sometimes not so good. Prices on items I am after seem to be higher all the time. Not as good as it used to be but still worth a stop. You never know what you will find."

"As someone that loves thrifting and attending auctions, this may not be your cup of tea if you're a single shopper just trying to find an unbeatable deal on random everyday stuff. This place is mostly a huge selection of "

"Ever wonder where your knife sized at the airport goes? It ends up at the State Surplus Store along with state office furniture and cars. All sold at bargain prices."

"Only opened during the week. I great place to find discounts. They have working monitors and ink for $10. Binders and paper at low rate. Depending on the time they have a large range of office chairs for $9. They also have older state vehicles for under $10,000. All sales are final here. They do not deliver. You need to be able to pack your vehicle. If you are getting larger items you can go to the loading dock to load your vehicle easier. This is definitely a place to check out."

"You can find a lot of the same style of items here: knives, tools, desks, filing cabinets, etc. They have some good quality items with the knives, multi tools, etc. The prices are pretty reasonable for the most part. I thought the multi-tools were a little overpriced. It was pretty cool looking around and seeing what you could find. It's worth a visit if you are into that sort of thing."
