The Government of Canada is auctioning off so much cheap stuff in B.C., and there are some pretty random items you can get.

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.

If you've been on the hunt for some cheap recreational vehicles — look no further. GCSurplus is auctioning off some cheap vehicles like dirt bikes, Ski-Doos, excavators, tractors and even boats.

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.

Here is a taste of what they have up for auction right now.
