Our History

The Surplus Store has been in existence since the mid-1960s. It started out with a one-day auction held in July of each year until 1968, when it was relocated to the N. Ninth St. warehouses. This move allowed the University to hold auctions more often.

Over time, the auctions were phased out and the Surplus Store opened. In the spring of 2004, the Surplus Store relocated to the INOK building, where it remained for the next 12 years. 

In October of 2015, the Surplus Store finally moved to a campus location in the MMDC building, where we receive good used surplus from the West Lafayette campus as well as regional campuses every day.
