Think of us as UC Riverside’s very own “Vintage Marketplace”

ScotSurplus is home to an eclectic assortment of used (but still useable) furniture, electronics, office supplies, clothing, books, bikes, lab supplies, and much more — collected from departments from every corner of the university.

We offer in person and online sales. Either way, ScotSurplus offers the best bargains on campus.
