What People Are Saying About American Science & Surplus

Here at American Science & Surplus we are fascinated by discovery and invention. And we are dedicated to having fun along the way.
We offer an eclectic range of products, many with a science or educational tilt to them, others simply handy or amusing. Value is important, and whenever we can, we carry surplus at prices well below retail. We love closeouts, inventory overruns, mis-manufactures, and items whose time has not come.

This store is great! Along with the requisite science project goodies are a mass of strange, unique and just plain bizarre items. A trip to this store is like a small adventure! Last time I was there, I picked up a rubber dinosaur, military buttons and police tape! You never know what you will find; you could spend hours browsing the wide selection of the weird and the wacky. PROS: Lots of fun, cool and plain weird items at affordable prices CONS: Cluttered

Know Before You Go:
Because much of the store's inventory is based on overruns, mis-manufactures and items whose time has gone, there is no back stock. If you love an item, buy it or risk losing it forever.
