New Book Pricing Plan

If you were a fan of our monthly Book Blowout Sales, we've got good news and bad news...

The bad news: We won't be having any more blowout events.

The good news: We'll have blowout prices all the time!

Starting Monday, July 2, all books on the sales floor (excluding comics over $5) will be available at reducing prices in two-week cycles.

Here's how it will work: Every other week, we will completely restock the books on the sales floor. Each Public Sale day, the price will drop for the remaining stock. At the end of the two-week cycle, all books remaining on the sales floor will be taken to MSU Recycling, and the floor will be fully restocked with a new selection.

Here are the new prices:

Week 1
Monday - Tuesday: $1.89 per book
Wednesday - Friday: $1.41 per book (25% off)

Week 2
Monday - Tuesday: 94 cents per book (50% off)
Wednesday - Friday: 40 cents per pound (bulk blowout!)

Come shop Week 1 for the best selection, and shop Week 2 for the best deals!

The schedule will start July 2 and repeat July 16, July 30, August 13, August 27, and so on. Our regular Public Sale days are Tuesdays 7:30am-5:30pm and Fridays 7:30am-3:30pm. Public Sales on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12pm-3:30pm are only during our Special Hours over the summer (ongoing until further notice).

Books on the sales floor are 40 cents per pound from now until the new pricing plan starts next week. Prices only apply to books on the sales floor, not items on our MSU Surplus Books or Amazon sites.

The Bikes Are Here!

We've got our next big delivery of bikes from campus!

Click here to see more photos.

They are staged and ready to go, but for fairness we are not making them available until we open for our regular Public Sale hours, 7:30am tomorrow (Friday, June 22). After that, they will be available during all sale hours until they are gone.

Find Jabber Jaw, win prizes!

Those of you who follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest know that the skull in this photo is Jabber Jaw.

You may also have seen the Friday Find-it posts, where we hide him around the store and you guys try to find him in the pictures.

Even if you didn't know all that, here's the best part: Starting this Friday, we're going to be giving away prizes for those of you who can spot him!

Every Friday, we will post three photos of Jabber Jaw hidden somewhere around the Surplus Store. Here's what you have to do:

1. Save a copy of each image onto your computer
2. Find Jabber Jaw
3. Put a circle around him using Paint, PhotoShop, or an online image editor like Pixlr
4. Send the image (with Jabber Jaw circled) back to us in a Facebook message
5. Come to the Surplus Store during open hours to claim your prize!

The first prize we have available is a CD bundle featuring "Songs of the World" by the MSU Women's Glee Club, "ENCORE" by the Spartan Marching Band, "Centennial Celebration" by the MSU Wind Symphony, and "Potpourri" by the MSU Jazz Band.

We have 60 bundles to give away, so don't worry if you can't find Jabber Jaw in all the pictures this week. However, only the first 16 bundles include the MSU Jazz Band CD. Submissions will be accepted until 6pm the Tuesday following each post, so don't delay!
