The MSU Surplus Store never disappoints. Just when you think they’ve auctioned off every piece of Spartan Stadium memorabilia and mystery antique on campus, they surprise you with something totally different—like a full-blown food truck and an Army dump truck.

Now, it does need a little TLC: the freezer’s out, the generator won’t start, the A/C belt is missing, and the windshield’s cracked—but it runs and drives, and bidding starts at $27,500. The auction is running through Nov. 6 at 5p.m.

More on MSU Surplus Store

This isn’t your average garage sale. The MSU Surplus Store has become a goldmine of random treasures, from scoreboard letters and Bosco stick stands to century-old carriages—and now, trucks that could serve popcorn or troops.

The Surplus Store’s mission is to keep items out of landfills by reusing, recycling, and rehoming whatever MSU no longer needs. So far, they’ve saved more than 13 million pounds of material from ending up in the dump—and they’ve given the rest of us some seriously fun shopping in the process.
