RE-PC Recycled Computers in Seatac | Best Phone, Laptop, and Computer Repair Services at Affordable Prices | Quick Fixes

Well. They *might* have what you’re after. But if they do, they’re probably charging unreasonably high prices for even the downright ancient tech (you should see the FastEthernet switch prices! good grief). Oh and they seem to not care about customers – and insisted I couldn’t count :shrug:

Did my usual look around (they occasionally have interesting things dropped off in bulk, and this time its cheap headphones tangled up). Found a few cables and adapters I had hoped to find, and even spotted an old tape drive but didn’t have a tag or nearby (ie: if it fell off) so I took my selections to the register and waited my turn.

Overheard the gentleman ahead of me picking up a replacement computer from a submitted repair and was disappointed by their interaction (they were trying to play off how they treated the machine being replaced, yikes, not a time to be given grief as an already distressed customer..). My own interaction went about as well as the guy in front of me.. I had a question about an old drive that didn’t have a price tag (figured I’d ask at the register, since there was no one else to ask, looking it up then or checking for pricing) and was lambasted for having picked up the item that wasn’t personally placed on the floor by another employee walking by (okay, I guess I look to be a customer for anything that doesn’t have a price tag that’s in your showroom floor?).

While I was given grief for wanting to purchase an old tape drive, the guy went away and came back with an incredible price for the thing – and not a good incredible! So I declined and then he tried to convince me (insisting and recounting the entire 4 line items of the invoice) multiple times over that I was attempting to purchase 6 cables and literally stopped to count them out and only then relented. Oh boy. Yeah, so I finally made my purchase, walked away, and now know I will only go back here as a last resort.

Moral of the story is: sure, go here and check this place out for cool stuff, look around, maybe pick up some cables and odd adapters, but don’t expect used prices here. Hopefully your customer experience goes better than mine.

I was looking for something specific and unfortunately didn’t find it. I wasn’t asked if I could be helped with anything, but I was there on a Saturday afternoon so the staff members were just already busy helping other customers. This is a great place to find a cord or a charger second hand. Be prepared to dig through bins or totes for what you need, but I’d say it’s pretty organized so it’s not hard to see where to look. They also have computer monitors and several other more obscure electronics. I even saw some mixing boards (if I’m calling it the right thing). If you’re an electronics person, I would check this store out, especially if you like secondhand treasures.

I love this store! Such a variety and you never know what youll find at great prices. Sometimes I score huge here. Just have to go often and know where to look. In fact regulars to like me can haggle quite a bit with the prices. I scored huge awesome JBL bass bin speakers for a pittance. That rock!
