If you are looking for a bargain deal, and love the adrenaline rush of an auction, the Edmonton Journal featured the Alberta Government’s Surplus Sales Center. Located at 12115 – Fort Rd, it seems as if they have got a lot of stuff, cheap. If you are a poor student living on your own, this may be the place to head.
If you are looking for more technological stuff, check out the University of Alberta’s Surplus Assets Disposal, where they hold random events as stock accumulates. Personally, I am interested in this one.
