Thrift stores are really neat places – you can get items that are normally crazy expensive at a fraction of the price, and sifting through everything to find diamonds in the rough is part of the fun! Texas State Surplus Sales is unlike any other thrift store because the items sold have been abandoned or confiscated by state agencies or airports. You can find just about anything here, and everything is an absolute steal.
The store sells salvaged personal property from DPS, TXDOT, TCEQ, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and other state agencies. The public can purchase the items in-store or by bidding in online auctions.
