The FREE GEEK thrift store has a selection of new-to-you computers and computer parts, peripherals, stereo and A/V equipment. In addition to helping keep electronic waste out of landfills, the Thrift Store gives a cost-conscious person an opportunity to save money on all sorts of technology. You can feel good buying your eGidgets at our store knowing that 100% of proceeds go towards our operational expenses paying for this stuff <link?>. For the geek in your life we now have stickers, t-shirts, and gift certificates. Please note that we do not hold goods, so visit early and often for the best selection.
