Product placement

The University of Texas (UT) Surplus Store ACTS - it sells surplus items from the university. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Progressive (guitar prop) APPEARS - it's a logo on a prop, removing it would not change what happens in the video. University of Texas (UT) branding (logos, banners, text) ACTS - it identifies the university and its affiliation with the items being sold. Removing it would change the context of the items.

Inside UT's Surplus Store $1 Furniture ?! The University of Texas

Transcript

The University of Texas has a secret surplus store of things that they don't want anymore that's open to the public. That's open to the public. The instructions are a little confusing, but this is what the building looks like. This like little triangle over here. This place is ran by the University of Texas, not a random corporation that buys things and flips it. But that also means the hours are very weird. But they sell extra UT items like shelves, filing cabinets, desks, chairs that were headed towards landfills. It was all super cheap ranging from like $5 to $40. There's even a section of $1 furniture. They had real UT cleats, clothing, and so much fun old promo promotional items. You can even buy a football locker if you have a future Baby Gronk in your midst. Does this still exist? They also had old microscopes, speakers, pianos and endless books for the low. This place is really hard to pin down, but it's so worth it. Follow me for more cool finds. Follow me for more cool finds.
