Buy Computer Hardware

Thrift Store

The Free Geek Thrift Store sells refurbished computers and computer-related parts and peripherals at discount prices. To contact the store, call 604-879-4335 (ext. 1) during our business hours. We are located on the 2nd floor (front entrance) of the Free Geek Vancouver facility.

We cannot guarantee the availability of anything, nor can we hold items without full payment. We accept CASH ONLY.

Are you looking for a hard-to-find or specialized item? We just might have it on our Freesoterica page.

Warranty / Returns

Buyers are encouraged to research items and compatibility before purchasing. We will exchange items within 7 days of purchase if they are defective, but not simply because they are incompatible.

We can not offer any tech support in the store. Customers are encouraged to attend Open Help Night for help with their Linux-based computers and peripherals.

We can not offer returns for cash under any circumstances.

Wholesale Accounts

We can accommodate large-quantity purchasers and standing orders for our excess stock. Email sales@freegeekvancouver.org to discuss your needs and apply for Net-30 payment terms.

Film Prop & Set Decoration

Are you looking for a specific vintage of computer equipment? Do you need 20 identical monitors? Email sales@freegeekvancouver.org with your requirements.

Wishlist

If you're looking for something specific or hard to find, add it to our wishlist. We'll keep our eyes open for the item, and contact you if one becomes available.

Non-functional Hardware Sales

Items have typically been thoroughly tested by our volunteers and are sold in working condition. However, we will also sell untested or non-functional equipment for the purpose of repair, refurbishment, and reuse.

Free Geek is meticulous in insuring that e-waste is recycled as locally and ethically as possible, so we impose some regulation of these sales in order to insure that the intended purpose is to reuse the item, not recycle it.

For more information, see the Non-functional Hardware Sales Policy on our wiki. To apply, email sales@freegeekvancouver.org.
