BYU-Idaho Surplus Sales — Local services in Rexburg

Sells used equipment from the University. As such they have no consistent stock. The products range from used computers to projectors to goggles to chairs and desks. Things like computers are cycled by the University every 4 years, so they tend to have a consistent supply of those. My only qualms are that they don't update their online inventory (as of today it hasn't been updated in over a year), and sometimes the staff have no idea what they're selling. 2 months ago I went in and asked if I could buy a computer arm attached to a table, and was told I could only buy it as part of the table (despite it not being mentioned on the label for the table). Two days later it was bought by someone without the table. I will not deal with that...

Love the inventory. I've been coming here for years. I finally decided I must say something about the "help" though... every once in awhile there will be a worker who seems remotely interested that you are in the place to purchase something, but most of the time I've felt like I was interrupting them when I asked questions. A good example was the last time I went in. I bought several hundred dollars worth of items, was treated like a derelict (possibly my many tattoos), and not only was I left to carry every item to my vehicle myself, they wouldn't even get up to help open the door. I heard giggles ad I struggled to open it while carrying a large item. I get that this is a work study fellas, but the term work study has work...

After visiting on numerous occasions, this is my summary:

-Their inventory list on their website is often out of date or not up to date. Best to either visit or call to see what they have.

The store has a lot to offer but be prepared to dig though items from time to time; it's a little disorganized.

They have great pricing and some good stuff for sale, and whilst I've generally had good experiences my overall feeling about the surplus...
