It was a pleasure working with these guys. They have a great array of electronic products of all kinds, from o-​scopes to SMT’s. This company’s service is pleasant and they are very well informed about the products they have for sale!
Can’t wait to go back to buy some more supplies!

fun to look around, but the prices are completely unrealistic. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out who the audience for this place is — no one shopping in a surplus place would pay these prices. literally triple what I would expect for any given item, from high end test equipment to rusty flush cutters. the spray painted «SURPLUS STORE» breadboards are at odds with whomever it is they’re trying to attract. $ 250 for a scope, on a rack of identical scopes that all say non-​operational in Spanish from their previous owner. $ 200 or so for Sun workstations that were outdated when I worked at Sun over 10 years ago. who is it that is paying $ 250 for a 20-​year-​old logic analyzer when they have them at Industrial Liquidators on Ronson Rd for $ 70? it’s bizarre. i went here once when they opened months ago and once again today — same stuff on all the shelves as far as I can tell. i heard that they are part of a company that sells large capital equipment. either they don’t know that they’re not selling to the same crowd, or this is some kind of tax thing — an arm of the business that isn’t meant to really sell anything?

This place sells used tech items, with an emphasis on higher tech goods, such as spectrum analyzers. Sort of like a Big Lots of solely electronics and computer parts. Trouble is, the stuff they sell doesn’t work at all, and all sales are final of course.
Just to clarify, based on one of the owner’s friends or relatives sending me messages, I purchased a motherboard here. It was DOA.
I’d steer very clear of this place unless you like spending money on dead items.
