GCSurplus is a thrift shopper heaven, with a bunch of items that you can bid on. They're all "surplus assets" that the government is just trying to sell, so you can get some great deals.

The surplus of random stuff means that you can find everything from dirt bikes to furniture.

The random items for sale are a bit comical coming from the Government website. But hey — if your looking for a good bargain — you've found the right spot.
