==COMPUTER THRIFT STORE==

Note: See also: [[Reuse]]
  
FREE GEEK receives more donated parts than it can refurbish into working computers. When we have excess parts, we will make them available for sale. We cannot guarantee the availability of anything (except maybe floppy drives and keyboards!). All parts are tested by FREE GEEK and sold as is, with no warranty. FREE GEEK also sells T-shirts, stickers and, occasionally, crafts made from recycled computer parts. All proceeds go toward FREE GEEK operational costs.
 
  
Our thrift store is attached to the rest of our facility at 1731 SE 10th Avenue in Portland. Here's some directions, just in case.
