Tag Sales at UNI Warehouse

Beginning December 1st, 2009, the University of Northern Iowa will hold weekly surplus equipment sales the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month.

All items will be tagged with a specific price, sold “as is” and must be removed on day of purchase.

The weather/cancellation procedure for the surplus store follows the general campus cancellation decision. If the media indicates that UNI will be closed, the store will also be closed. If in doubt, you may contact Don at 273-3520 or Vince at 273-3527.
