When my girlfriend and i arrived we were greeted with warm smiles and good mornings. We told the front desk that we wanted to do the orientation and we were handed the correct paperwork to fill out. We were then given a tour of the facility and it was clean and all the employees and volunteers had their safetly gear on and were eager to answer questions when asked.The facility itself was very clean and organized. They had signs explaining where and what everything was and located. Even had different colored tape on the floor to help guide a person. They accept donations and even have specially trained employees that will wipe any hard drives from computers brought in. Breakroom for employees and volunteers was spacious and inviting. There is an area that was available for open use of computers that you can sign up to use.The company also has a little incentive for the volunteers. Every 24 hours spent volunteering you have the option to get a free laptop or desktop computer. They offer classes to help anyone in the community learn their computer. Over all we enjoyed our tour and look forward to our volunteer time.

Ive been to Free Geek several times, most often to recycle computer parts, but occasionally to buy components. The prices are a little spendy given most of the gear is older and/or refurbished, but its a non-profit with a good mission so Im not bothered by that. All the parts Ive purchased have worked (better to go here than to goodwill for mice, keyboards, and monitors), and the requested donation for recycling parts is very fair. Also a great place to volunteer if youre interested in electronics repair.Cant wait till Covids over and I can actually browse in the store again.

Wow!!! The whole concept of the Free Geek store is amazing: recycling e-waste, installing free and open source software on refurbished computers and educating volunteers about computer basics! Ive joined the afternoon tour and I would love to spend a few hours of volunteer work if I have the chance to visit Portland, OR again.

Unique thrift store dealing ONLY with computer items and electronics. Very knowledgeable staff who seem to be all volunteer. For sure most were younger than 40 something. We had been here several times before when we needed to update our computer systems and needed some place to gift our old stuff. The idea that you can volunteer somewhere and learn how to do computer tech work, well, if thats not unique I dont know the meaning of the word.Our visit this time wasnt to donate, literally because when you bring old equipment, dont bring your junk and you should bring at least a $10 bill to donate with the goods. What we needed this time were screws. Yup. Screws. Particular kinds that fit together a hard drive and another unit. The manufacturers must have figured out they save all kinds of money if they just omit the screws.Free Geek got us out of a bind with time and they kept me from having to go to commercial electronics store, like Be-- B-y and navigate their system just to find out that we would be paying outrageous price for four screws. Instead, we had a likable guy Chad. He was cordial, but not overly so. Uniquely professional. He was able to go in the back and find the exact thing we wanted. He wasnt going to charge us, so we donated a few dollars and were on our way.Highly recommend, especially if you need a computer and can donate your time for one, as well as find a geek society to hang with. If I were younger, I know Id have been a regular. Its definitely a haven for those who want to learn Ubuntu and other OSs besides Gatess OS. Love the concept. Like the People and the shops pretty cool, too.

Overall an incredibly disappointing organization to deal with. dont bother buying anything here if you want it to work correctly or get anything done. Such a lovely idea though. Its a fun place to volunteer if youre not concerned with actually making an impact.

Took a bunch of old desktops, laptops, electric heaters, speakers, and misc. cables here before a move and they were happy to accept them. Very helpful. An air purifier and ballasted grow light got rejected but I understand since theyre kind of odd items. This place has been around quite a while and Im glad they are here to help handle the e-waste.

They allowed me to pick up my order today on Tuesday even though theyre only technically open Wednesday - Saturday for order pickup. THANK YOU FREE GEEK!

Great organization making it possible for more people to keep up with the pace of technology change making electronics less expensive; really appreciate that they reducing waste by teaching people to refurbish hardware.

I made a donation and the process was simple. I love the mission of Free Geek to make technology available to everyone in the community.

I run a small custom t shirt business in Portland and needed a new computer set up for my shop really fast. I went into Free Geek not knowing what to expect and was totally blown away! It was the best computer buying experience Ive ever had. Not only did I save over a thousand dollars, but the customer service was truly amazing. I dont mean like millennial avocado toast amazing but actually amazing. Randy helped my out and got me all hooked up and I am grateful for his help. Everything works great, all my programs run smooth, and I have total peace of mind on getting orders out and taking care of my customers! These guys are great!

I had heard about this place from a friend a while ago and been wanting to come here for a while so I made the trek from Vancouver. This place is great. It was so nice to see the young men and women volunteering and helping out. Everyone was super nice. I was able to find what I was looking for and it as crazy cheap (cheaper than eBay!). I recommend you come help put at Free Geek if youre interested in computers and technology. They also offer training to the public on computers. Keep up the great community service.

I bought a computer for my nephew, who had spent a long time in jail and had no clue how to use the computer, and Free Geek spent a long time helping him learn the basics as well as some more advanced training. They were kind, patient, and committed. And he loves his computer, which was a great deal!! Go Free Geek!

They are extremely unhelpful with any tech issues if you buy with them through e-bay. Just won’t help at all. Sad because they have such a good reputation but that’s just bad customer service.

I agree with the other reviewers who said that the counter people and other staff were very helpful that is true. I was underwhelmed by the selection frankly, and the space was much much smaller than I had visualized my mind from others descriptions. As for affordable, other customers must live in a higher bracket than I do: Power cords were $20, laptop started at $120. As with any other retail venue, manage your own expectations and dont rely on a single recycler vendor- no matter how courteous and knowledgeable-for all your computing needs. That said i will certainly try them again.

I have found the folks here to be friendly and knowledgeable. I often find treasures here, and donate treasures when I no longer need them. Their multiple missions (teaching, recycling, improving access to tech) are all important to me. Thanks for all the great work, Free Geek!

Wonderful shopping experience and a great product. Thank you Free Geek; keep up the good work!

Easy and safe donation drop off during COVID restrictions. People there were very helpful directing where to place items.

Went in looking for a micro form factor computer and bought the only one they had; a Dell Optiplex 3020. Computer works great and Im happy with the price I paid, but in my opinion I think the person running the thrift shop needs to be a little more cheerful. I was in a few months ago for their end of Summer sale and they had a lot of these micro computers for sale but only saw one when I went in to buy this one (Nov 2019) when I asked he seemed a little irritated at the question. Really happy to support local non profits especially, but the employee I dealt with wasnt all that cheerful.

Nice folks, but we’re a business office and they don’t seem to keep up with the changes. We requested a graphics card for a desktop that supports 4 monitors.They suggested a laptop?Maybe they just have some employee trouble?

I love Free Geek.They are an amazing organization, recycling technology when possible and disposing of it environmentally and ethically if they cant. If you can afford the disposal cost, or even just a part of it, please pay it. It helps cover all of their costs, but also for those who cant afford it. They will take it anyway, and that is valuable.The shop is very affordable offering computers, laptops and peripherals. I have picked up some hard to find pieces for very little cash.They provide training and support and will give you a computer if you volunteer.They have a mission of closing the Technology Gap. This is essential for equality of access for all communities and we are incredibly fortunate to have them as a resource.Support Free Geek!

I had a really positive experience at Free Geek. Randy helped me connect the Mac Mini I brought in to pair with a monitor. There was an issue with the video out on the Mac I brought in which Randy methodically isolated. He walked me through some of my options and I found a solution to solve my needs. All the while, Randy was patiently assisting other customers and answering their questions. I think we all got what we needed that afternoon.

Theres nothing worse than a business who opens late, might close shop during the day due-to-whatever-unknown reason and closes early. Ill never recommend again due to wasting my time. Youre better off donating to Goodwill.

Thanks to counter/salesman Randy. Ive found truly informed and helpful people here, he was a great example. That served once again to make a good purchase, which (for a re-sale place?) has never called for a return or howl about the purchase. If you dont find it yourself, and they cant honestly find what you need, theyll tell you, and they just might know better. Too many outsized salesmen in this life that dont respect that honesty, so count the FreeGeek blessing. Thanks Randy.

Love this place, the workers are so helpful and their refurbished gear is top notch. I will never buy a computer anywhere else, I love their Linux help, and how generous they are with their time and resources.

Great group with friendly and helpful staff

Poor business model. Poor inventory selection. I bought a $2 type C cable. That Doesnt Work. Youd better off to find what your looking for at the goodwill.Do not shop here. Only recycle

After my recent move (via a shady moving company) I discovered that a number of my personal items didnt make it, including box of various cords for my monitor. When I called the manufacturer to order a replacement, the CS woman I spoke with had no idea what I meant.Next, I called Free Geek, and Im so glad I did! They knew exactly what cord I needed just from a quick description, and when I got to the store I was delighted that it was only **$2.00***.(Plus, the good feelings of re-using something vs buying new and contributing to more global waste, etc etc etc)They get lots of other types of equipment like used tvs. I apparently had JUST missed an awesome Samsung flat screen (inventory goes quickly) but Ive been stopping in from time to time to check out whats new.Love this place, super helpful people, and definitely worth checking out whether youre looking for a spare part or more.

A great place to buy used hardware at very reasonable prices. Most of the higher-cost items have been tested by Free Geek volunteers, so you have a pretty good idea of whether or not what youre buying is going to work. Some items, like Monitors and TV screens, come with a 30-day functionality guarantee for peace of mind.Dont go in expecting a slick retail experience: this is a thrift shop for a huge range of used electronics, not the Apple store. That said, the shop staff are generally pretty knowledgeable and can help you find what you need, as long as youve done at least a little homework and have a decent idea of what youre looking for.

Sadly the pandemic has beaten out most of the fun from the place. COVID ruins everything. However, their eBay pickup door was staffed with friendly and efficient people. I had purchased an item online, and it was ready instantly. The staff was able to answer questions about other items for sale and I was able to impulse buy a nice toy on the spot from my phone. Theyre doing what they can, which is awesome. Just keeping the doors open is fantastic.

Im a 65 year old Amateur Radio Operator and Electronics Nut. For some time now Ive wanted to get into Software Defined Radio. The hardware has dropped in cost so I purchased a unit to use with a laptop. I spent two days unsuccessfully trying to load the Drivers for the Software Defined Radio, into a laptop running Vista. Finally I decided to take a trip to The Free Geek Store to see if I could afford a used laptop. They had a good selection of affordable used laptops. I was hesitant to purchase a laptop running Linux. A very helpful employee explained that they dont support Windows, but all of the laptops come with a Windows Product Key affixed. Better yet, the software needed to run the Software Defined Radio will run under Linux. I purchased a laptop, brought it home, learned how to compile the needed scripts in Linux, and have been enjoying the Software Define Radio. I will keep the Linux Mint as the Operating System as its very versatile. Thank you to The Free Geek Store!

Always knowledgeable, always friendly and helpful. Their grant program of computers for non-profits has been wonderful.

Randy in the retail store really helped me out again. I come from Bend to OHSU every other month. He worked with myself and my grandson on the phone to get the right memory and video board. Free Geek is a he best.

It was an excellent experience for all my students. Special thanks to Adele for all her help and support. Keep the great job!

My favorite Non-profit. My Mom had bolio Polio & got us out of the Hermen gardens with her job at the league of the Handicapped back home in Detroit. THANK YOU & Semper FidelisOi

Thanks Free Geek for your help! I needed a second monitor to help me number crunch and you had exactly what I needed. Affordable, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great community resource!

Missing a phone charger? Need a USB cord? Mouse? Want a dirt cheap laptop and dont mind if its running Linux? Heck, are you looking for a sweet keyboard to complete your Stephen Hawking Halloween costume? Whatever your used electronic needs, and whatever your pathetically small budget, Free Geek has ur back.This place is an amazing thrift store of computer odds and ends for super cheap. Theyre doing the Lords work: keeping electronics out of landfills, and keeping me from having to travel to the suburbs to try and find a Best Buy if I need an aux cord same day. I love that this place exists so much!

Awesome place to volunteer, buy computers, or donate used electronics.Volunteers can work to earn a rebuilt computer from free geek. They also offer classes on a wide variety of computer related topics.

This place is one of the most progressive business models operating in Portland. It employs highly intelligent & disadvantaged folks, alike. They use the shop to cover the expense of labor, subsidize class costs & investment in materials.Of course, theyre not a corporate model with deep pockets but they do offer a 6 month warranty with on site technical support.

This place is great if you want to volunteer to help e-recycle cast off electronics. They salvage usable computer parts and rebuild computers that are sold, donated, or earned by volunteering. Anyone can earn a computer system by volunteering at Free Geek for 24 hours. Any kid in the Portland school district can earn a computer by volunteering for 24 hours ANYWHERE. They also have a thrift shop full of computers and accoutrements, for astonishingly low prices. They have classes on all sorts of things, like programming, repair, building computers. Check it out.

A good mission with good opportunities, the environment of the work area has flow from simply good management of the people. I believe the staff are helpful from your simple neighbor who wants to donate a Nokia to someone who wants to donate just to keep the staff motivated with their mission. Ive checked out the thrift store and the prices are great. I hope your experience with this company has sufficed and you the costumer are satisfied with your purchase(s) and donations! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a nice day(:

Its expensive at times and the pricing of things can be very odd but they generally tend to have good stuff. Staff are very helpful and know what theyre talking about. As-is laptop section is hit or miss, depends on the day. Really cool concept of a place, more competitive pricing would make me go a lot more often.

I depend on Free Geek to recycle all my electronics. It gives me a good feeling to think that stuff will be reused or recycled. I dont know what I would do with it if not for Free Geek. They certainly are a valued service to the community. I have nothing but high praise and kudos for Free Geek.

While I love the idea of this place so much I was disappointed to not get the help they advertise they offer. Instead the employee was snarky and belittling. Wont be returning here. Too bad.

This incredibly awesome salesperson made my experience so exceptional!!!!!How will I ever thank randy for his awesomeness!!!

Unlike the name, nothing is free here. They will take your tax deductible donations of equipment. Mostly computer and electronic stuff. And give you a receipt. Dont forget where you keep it. Youll need it next year for a great big tax deduction. Oh, and they sometimes have a cart for you to use for the curbside drop off. Only about six to ten spots for your car on this street though. You might want to bring your own dolly for a larger load. :) I think there might be an elementary school near here, that takes the available parking after school hours or something. I dont have kids that young, though.

Free Geek provided a pressure-free, friendly, down to earth, and accessible experience to buying technology and staying hip to this modern world. I got a MACBook AIR and in the process, was able to ask any question and gain knowledge with explanations that didnt muddle my mind. If you need a compy and have lower financial means, this is the place! Thank you for youre great attitudes and aid in supporting my dreams of writing a book (with my new MacBook). You rock!

Jeff had wonderful customer service! He even helped load our tv after waiting a couple minutes after close for us to drive our car up to the shop. We travelled all the way from Idaho to Portland with Free Geek being one of our most anticipated stops and we were not disappointed! Thank you guys for your stellar work!

Thanks so much Ryan for your support!! The receiver is ALIVE!! Muuuhahaha

I bought a PC for a great price and Im very happy with it. Randy was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you!

The Best!

These geeks far exceeded my expectations on my first visit. They helped me rig a string of adapters to connect my MacBook/projector. Got a couple dongles & some odds and ends for a solid 20 bux. Thanks y’all!

Wonderful organization that helps get people access to electronics.

I love it so much thank you very much for doing this

I believe in the mission here. Free Geek will take (for free, only asking for a donation) everything short of toxic waste it biologically related electronics.Printer toner, lithium batteries, CRT TVs and monitors, stereo equipment, printers, computers, cell phones, etc. They take tons of stuff, there is a very short list of things they dont take on their website.They also accept old software, movies, computer books, etc. Just not writable media.Free Geek focuses on Reuse first, so if you want your item to possibly find new life this is the place to take it.They do a lot for the community. The volunteer program can net you a computer in trade for 24 hours of your time helping out in the warehouse or other areas in the building. Non-profits can request a grant for computer hardware to help them with their missions. Classes are taught in a variety of subjects.If nothing else, go down and give it a look, check out their store, ask questions, and dont forget to bring a donation. If you drop off any electronics you get a discount at the store as well...

Love the idea of recycling electronics, so I bought an iPhone and a MacBook. I was told that both devices were checked out and work fine, which I believed. Finally got the iPhone all hooked up, data transferred, etc. seemed to be working fine until I called it, the ring is so weak as not to be heard. Eighty dollars to replace the bad speaker! And now the battery in the MacBook seems to need replacing. I am not too happy about recycling at the moment, no wonder people just buy new, when you recycle you are just buying someone elses problems.Thank you for the offer but it is not that simple. Took forever to get everything transferred from the broken phone to the one I bought. But between Apple and AT&T it finally got done, only to find out that the speaker is bad. City Mac said they could run a diagnostic, could be the speaker or the mother board? The person I bought it for has had it with the whole process, it has been a nightmare from start to finish and is done, no more with the cell phone, burned out, will try to use as is... But thanks again for the offer.

(Store Review: Does not apply to any other services such as recycling, tech support, community help etc)Summary:- Old school big corporation hurdles and bureaucracy despite being a small business (Like AT&T type where trying to do anything is super inconvenient and kind of illogical, not like something like Best Buy where its usually pretty pleasant to be a customer.)ExplanationI went in looking for a laptop with a long battery life. That was basically my top criteria.I had seen some on their website and wanted to look at them but I was told that those could not be looked at physically unless they were purchased first.Im not sure what the reason for this was other than policy. I read some reviews and picked out a thinkpad. Purchased it on eBay and the person behind the counter went and brought it out.I open up the laptop and find that its got a 3 hour battery life, which really wasnt what I was expecting. I ask if I can return it or swap it for something with a longer battery life.Another individual hops into the conversation and recites the return policy, a 20% restocking fee and 80% store credit. I think damn Ive lost some cash here in the last 5 minutes (50ish dollars), but no problem I support the cause. Im ok with that.Then he says since their eBay team isnt in they cant do it for another 3 days.I ask if I can leave the laptop with them because Its going to be to returned anyway.Response: No I will not be liable for your property.I felt leaving kinda bad and just bummed by the bureaucracy and general curtness and I dont know if I would really recommend the place.Impacts of bureaucracy:- Couldnt see the laptop even though it was in the same building before buying.- Returns policy is pretty harsh for a place that strives to help out people.- Couldnt return the laptop 5 minutes after purchase because ebay team wasnt in. Basically real strict division of labor.- They werent even willing to hold the laptop until the ebay team came in, so now I have to hold the laptop for the next 3 days and go back again on another day.Edit: I just found out that this place is not categorized as a non-profit in terms of tax anymore either.Apparently Free Geek was started by super passionate guy that wanted to teach people about computers but retired from the project and sold it a while ago. He was the reason a lot of people used to speak so positively about the place.

These folks know what they’re doing and are happy to help you. Especially Randy.

The place is fantastic. Our world cannot improve unless the power to successfully navigate the technological landscape is put in the hands of everyone who wants it. FG may be a relatively small force in the world, but its one of the very, very few that has the right idea. Come on down. Support this cause, its worth it.

Super friendly and helpful. I came in looking for 2 items that I needed and had a reasonable price already in my head for them. They charged me that price without me telling them and without haggling. Im going back again and again.

Free Geek present a fairly noble and honest business model, but it would appear to come at the expense of achieving their full potential. The level of customer service was satisfactory, but they leave a lot of room for improvement. Overall, however, a good establishment.

Really grateful for this place! Needed a computer cord, they had them used for a great price! Nice community feeling, I definitely will come back for other purchases.

This has been a great spot for my son and I. Weve taken to building little computers, and networking them together, it has been really fun and made easy with Free Geek

Free Geek is both a wonderful nonprofit and a great place to get those random cords and electronic components that you invariably find yourself needing at one time or another. I suggest that if you like electronics and computers go here and sign up to volunteer and get yourself a free computer.

Working on volunteering here, great program to earn a computer. Thrift store is full of neat electronics.

I called them to ask a simple question and they put me on hold for 20+ minutes. I finally gave up and moved on to company who was available.

Re edited this review to state a manager did reply to me and offered to make everything right. It was professional and pleasant. They also offered an additional credit for the time and trouble. I wont take the thrift store credit since the problem is solved. But I truly appreciate her offering to make things right immediately. Also, my own behavior as a frustrated consumer was not stellar, no matter the reason. Im sorry to have had to spend extra money to fix the issue but am more sorry for being an angry customer, no matter the reasons.

A Portland institution! Great selection and customer service.

The place looks great. Best customer service I have ever had at Free Geek, keep up the good work!

The best place to get cheep but tested and working hardware. The staff is nice and always really helpful.

If you are nerd and/or geek and you need or want a place to volunteer there is no better place in the portland metro area. You get to repair computers and help them get good homes or help recycle old tech to be environmentally conscious. This place is utterly fantastic.

I volunteer in the build program at free geek, and I love the concept. People in the build program help build computers, and get one of their own, along with education on computer hardware. People in the adoption program help sort computers and get a free computer. People in who need computers get them for very little. People that give computers find a way to easily dispose of old computers. Its beautiful hoe everyone wins. Having said that, the idea is poorly executed. The programs are run y people who dont have the faintest idea how to teach. The tests and lessons are pointless, and ask you about everything you DONT need to know. Some of the staff are a little annoying as well.

Interesting place, and a great non-profit. Fun to look around. Prices—especially for components—can be irregular, and quite high at times.

Obviously the best.Great environment to be in for job training or to earn your self a pretty decent computer.Everyone there is too perfect.

This place is awesome. A great place to volunteer and a great place to contribute to the community. Donate your electronics, volunteer your time, get a free computer... what more can you ask for?

I love the idea of this place but geez, when Ive donated hundreds dollars worth of stuff, I cant even get a $3 cable in exchange and they ask for cash donation after I already donated goods that would make them money. Wish they had a competitor.

Ive bought a couple laptops from here, amazing deals and always a great experience. At my most recent visit, Randy was especially helpful and really went above and beyond to help me out.

What a great resource to have in Portland. Non profit computer hardware and linux friendly! The store has a lot of crap but you can find some great things there sometimes, and they will give you a computer for donating your time.

Staff used to be better. Had a rude experience last time we went.

Personally love this store and the whole company. They been nothing but generous and kind to me. The staff are friendly and have very good customer service skills. Also love how they are Linux based. I like Linux alot because I have less problems with viruses and Linux is open source with anti spyware built in. Its easy too. Thank you free geek :)

My friends at 12:01 computer repair referred me to Free Geek to unload-or donate some electronics. This place is great. I researched them on-line before I went in...their website is very thorough in describing their services.You are allowed to safely donate your unused electronics, most items accepted. No household appliances of course.I walked through their thrift store first. Like a mini-store of cords, old computers, keyboards, tablets, cases for phones, computers and more.Then I went to the donation counter. The host was so cheerful. She explained how it works. I just gave my unused printer to the receiving clerk. I had forgotten some software and manuals, but he declared they didnt need any of those items.After leaving the receiving area I headed back to the host-counter. She drew up a receipt and suggested donation - for handling my item and putting it back into the community. They suggest an amount, but feel free to give what is comfortable.What a great resource: They offer training, volunteer opportunities, free classes. If you make a donation you can receive a discount in their thrift store.Easy access in and out of this operation. Street Parking. Felt better donating here than a Goodwill for instance.

Need a computer now?! Freegeek has computers for the best prices in town. They also will help you learn how to use it. This place is Awesome!

I usually visit Free Geek once a month.Pros:It is a non-profit store that donates many computers and accessories to the public and charity. One can work for to earn a free low-end PC by putting in 24 hours of work at their place.They also have other kinds of programs and classes. One of these classes entails learning to build a computer from scratch. After one builds 6 computers, one has gained a lot of knowledge about computer-building and gets to keep a computer.They have a lot of used accessories for sale at reasonable prices.Cons:The store is VERY small...and usually somewhat dirty and disorganized. Not much more than a handful of people can be browsing for things to buy at one time.Many used accessories prices are reasonable but many are somewhat overpriced given their delapidated condition.Used PC and console games in general are utterly and ridiculously-overpriced: I can buy games from Amazon for a few dollars whereas Free Geek sells old used games often for 10-20 dollars; others are somewhat less.Store employees usually seem disinterested and often quite unknowledgable concerning certain things.

Folks here are so friendly and you can find amazing deals

Dont go here. They are too knowledgable, too kind, too willing to share information, and above all else they are trying to do something positive. Screw these people! I stop here to buy old/weird components everytime I drive by and volunteer when I can. (not very often) 6 Stars!

Easy drop off.

Odd that it costs YOU money to donate your own electronics. But its only a few bucks and I guess they have to do that to break even. The donating process is more complicated and time-consuming than it needs to be. Lots of interesting items in the store. Very friendly staff.

Free Geek is a wonderful place to learn about technology, and meet similar folks. With hands-on training, a community discount technology store, and education classes available, Free Geek is an important part of Portlands tech community.

Fantastic volunteer place. one of my favorite places in portland. its a good way to help out not only the environment by recycling computers, but to help out others in need of a computer.

I needed a working iPod doc and couldnt bring myself to go to Radio Shack. The Thrift Store doesnt have a phone, so I risked the 10 minute ride to check it out. So glad I did! Im an electronics novice, so my son and I browsed a bit until one of the employees, Cody, was available. He was super nice and we tried out two options. He helped me choose the better one for me - which happened to be cheaper and we left with a totally acceptable option for 5 bucks! 5 bucks! No Radio Shack! WooHoo!He said that next time I could donate my broken equipment and they will refurbish it or recycle it. Sounds good to me.

I cant give a good review knowing their store doesnt have a phone number. The phone number provided goes to a receptionist, but not to the thrift store. Cmon people get it together.

Great place for myself and grandson.You can help others while learning something new and old. my grandson gives it high praise.

Good standard electronics and parts for really great prices. Nice place to volunteer.

My only experience is with donations. Theyre never open when I come by, and this time when I did (11 min after their closing time) the guy still inside ignored me. If I hear of another organization accepting these types of donations Ill be sure to check them out instead.

Awesome people doing essential work!

I discovered this place in my quest to find a copy of Ubuntu (Long story). Not only did they have it, when I have time Ill go back and check out more of their stuff. Awesome place.

Prices are a little high but its a great place to recycle

I gave them $400 for a computer. Not only did I have to find someone to assemble it, and then find out that I could have bought a brand new one that was twice as powerful for the same price, turned out that it was broken. They refused to fix it, and at first they were going to give me store credit in exchange. I wanted my money back, but they wouldnt do that. However, when I finally consented to store credit, they refused that as well. This really sucks, because I was so excited about their program. Figured it was gonna be a great thing fot the community. I was wrong. Got swindled out of $400. That might not be a lot to you, but it was for me, hence the reason I went to them in the first place.

The volunteers here are knowledgeable and dedicated. It feels good to have a community resource that understands community!

Hello I had a lady by the name of Chris showing up to my house to accuse me of fraud that I never did saying that I used my roommates name to get a discount when I never knew that it was for family only my roommate told me that I could use it and apparently he did not know himself that it was against rules so she threatenedto get me into trouble so I have to call them tomorrow and complain to them. I was wanting to volunteer to do work there but after what she did I don’t even want to step foot in there

The stores alright. Prices are a little high for recycle equipment but the worst part is the staffThere lack of knowledge about components and part variations as well as there snotty attitude towards older hardware made my visit kinda crappy. I might go back....might not.Bottom line.store good. Staff crap.
