How To Buy - University Departments

Note: The information on this page does not apply to employees making personal purchases. For information on making personal purchases see Sales To Employees.

Why Buy From The Barn?
Here are a few reasons why shopping the Bargain Barn makes sense...

Finding What's For Sale
University departments may view a list of items for sale on our site, or at our warehouse on campus. All items are sold on a "first come, first served" and "as is, where is" basis.

Free items are sometimes available, too! These items are not listed online, but are displayed at our warehouse.

The Purchasing Process
For the first 14 calendar days an item is on our inventory, it is for sale only to university departments at the advertised price.

After 14 days, an item becomes available for purchase by the public at the advertised price, but is still available for departmental purchase. After 28 days offers are accepted.

Bids and Offers
Offers are accepted on items that have been listed for 28 days or longer. See our Terms and Conditions page for bid/offer rules.

Payment and Delivery
Departments provide their Billing ID or a department recharge number at the time of sale.

Purchased items must be removed from the Bargain Barn at the time of sale by the department and at the department's expense. If needed, departments may arrange for delivery of purchased goods, using a department recharge number, at the time of purchase.

Note: Potential buyers should not negotiate a sale with any representative of the selling department. All issues related to a potential sale are to be directed to the Bargain Barn.

After the Sale
Bargain Barn charges appear in DS on the Feeder System Transaction Detail (212) report. To see only Bargain Barn charges on the 212, enter BB in the Origin Code field on the query input page.
