    Washington State Surplus Store - Bookcases and file cabinets

    Washington State Surplus Store

    Eight months to a year ago I probably would've gave eight months or a year ago I would have gave…read morethis facility a five star review but now due to their unfair pricing it is worth less than one star I am so livid with how ridiculous the pricing has gotten. The state is trying to rip people off now by selling their used or old stuff for way more than what it goes for brand new. The pricing is getting worse and I hope the state recognizes that this surplus facility is ripping off customers by unfairly overpricing merchandise

    It seems like they have an ever rotating stock of items here so you will probably find something…read morenew everything you go. While the showroom floor area was kind of small; they do pack a lot in a small space. Also, since there is a lot of large furniture it takes up a lot of the floor. Just in case you didn't know, the surplus store appears to be all the surplus used Washington State equipment and furniture. So instead of taking a total loss on used items, you can just go buy a table or set of file cabinets or computers that may have been used somewhere in the state offices. I actually found the large tables and computer desks and small stationary very inexpensive. I thought it was priced in line with the thrift stores around the area. I found two large bookcases for $10 each and a large dining room table for $15. They had large binders for $1 and file cabinets for $5 per drawer. They have refrigerators and TVs and computers and printers. There are other items that are a little bit more pricey and maybe not in line with what I was thinking for used materials, but too each their own. They sell old state cars and large machinery as well, just in case you're looking. If you're looking for some reasonably priced older furniture or basic stuff to fill up a house or apartment until you get your "real" furniture, this place is worth a visit. Everything seems pretty sturdy so it might actually last you a long while.

    I like Sound Auction first and foremost and have done business with them many times. Unfortunately…read morethey choose to use KP Gunworks for firearm transfers and this is the comment I left on KP Gunworks Page: 12/16/25 I win two firearms on auction from Sound Auction. Sound Auction uses KP Gunworks for firearm (FFL) transfers. on 12/20/25 I present to KP Gunworks to complete the transfer at 0930. The business phone number states they are open at 10:00 on Saturday. On the door it is posted 9-5 and on Google it states 11-3 on Saturday. I sat in my car for over two hours 0930-1140 passing all three posted opening times and no-one ever showed. Several people showed as well and one young man who stated "He just shows up when he wants to". When he wants to? I have over four thousand dollars invested in an FFL transfer company that Sound Auction chooses to use that might show up when he wants to? At 11:40 I returned home to Lynnwood an over 120 mile round trip for absolutely nothing. Reading the Yelp comments over a two year span, I cannot believe KP Gunworks could be associated with any reputable business or that Sound Auction would have more respect for their customers and choose another FFL that at the minimum honors their posted opening time(s). I called my credit card company and cancelled the purchase and noted it as potential fraud. If a company never opens, and you cannot complete transfer paperwork, and eventually take possession, that is theft at a minimum and I certainly am not paying for that.

    I've been buying stuff from their auctions pretty regularly for the past few years. As a buyer,…read moreit's great. I've able to get great deals on a lot of things.

    Crawford Family Auctions - Huge collection of The Beatles - fan merchandise and rare collectibles

    Sometimes it's when things DON'T pan out, that you truly learn about a business…read more I've done both online and onsite bidding with Crawford, probably 4 or 5 auctions in total. I've won lots of cool stuff I've been happy with, a few items that didn't pan out, and just recently I ended up with two antique shelves that were just plain unusable. When it comes to buying antiques some stuff just has quirks - that's expected. These shelves had more than just antique quirks - they were in need of major repair. These were major issues that weren't listed on the item description. After winning them online, the Crawford guys loaded my rental truck with my items, and I didn't notice the condition of the shelves until about 6 weeks later when I got ready to move them into the house. I contacted Crawford and let them know the situation, a couple days later the owner got back to me. Now most (if not all) places require you to return items when you are unhappy with them. That would involve me renting another moving truck and driving all the way back to Olympia (I'm in Tacoma). I told the owner this would be a pain and not really be worth it in the end. The owner of the business ended up refunding me a significant amount of money, including the auction fees. I was worried after six weeks I would be stuck with these items, which I paid a good amount for. Mr. Crawford was diligent about getting things right and making sure I was a happy customer. In the future I will definitely be previewing big ticket items in person before bidding online, it's just a smarter way to buy auction antiques. In the end - I'm glad that I learned that lesson with the Crawford team, as it could have been much worse. Sometimes you learn the most about a business when things go wrong - and Mr. Crawford made things right, which restored my faith in doing business with them and recommending their services to others.

    They say they are the premier auction house which in itself is laughable. The only thing they care…read moreabout is making as much as possible from seller and buyer. Their habit of lumping unrelated items does no favor for seller. Minimal and often inaccurate description of items. Charging 50% fee for selling is not inline with services performed. I had thought they may have improved after a few years and changing locations but I was wrong. Do yourself a favor and pass on using them.
