They had what I needed thanks! good selection service and value. Couldn't ask for much more!

I tried to buy a tv off of offer up from these guys got a message simply saying "ok" and got an address. Messaged the guy two times trying to figure out a time he was available to pick it up when I figured out it was a tech shop I drove down there to figure things out turns out the tv had already sold before the guy gave me the address. These guys have no internal communication, one employee works the floor another put up the listing and didn't mention it to him. Guy didn't even know what I was talking about. Wasted my entire afternoon and half a tank of gas. Don't waste your time with these jokers their operation is a complete circus read more

This place is great. I wanted a small workstation to use as a home server and I purchased everything I needed in 20min. Used 8th gen Lenovo M920s with a 512gb ssd. Bluetooth adapter. Wireless cards. Easy peasy. Swung by for a 4tb HDD the next day. Highly recommend for quality used machines and peripherals. I even picked up a lightning cable for my wife's phone for like $2. read more

Staff are nice in this place but has no say when it comes to prices, the owner prices are all over the place, if you are looking for vintage computers deals look elsewhere, he is using ebay premium prices for working computers as a reference even when the computer he is selling is defective and not matching the ebay quality, if you show him the ebay isting then he ask you to go buy from ebay if you don't like it. Sold prices for same computer he was selling were %50 so why bother going there. You can find cables and relatively modern pc parts but still prices are definitely not going to make you happy. read more

Geeks Candy Shop - Main entrance - Electronics Near Me - San Diego, California

As the metaverse comes around the corner I tried to prepare myself by buying parts for my computer. Neil had helped me look at my setup to determine the best course of action for upgrading my setup. I came in looking for parts but ended up with a Gaming Computer for only $675 with the following specs: CPU: i5-7400 @3GHZ GPU: NVD GTX 970 4GB RAM: 16GB SSD: 480GB HDD: 2TB Windows 11 Pro. I came back 2 weeks later to see why my HDD wasnt installed and Neil was there once again to do a great job with his customer service. I love being able to walk around and look at parts while my computer is being updated. I will come back again for future computer part needs! read more

Geeks Candy Shop - Great place, great value, great people! - Electronics Near Me - San Diego, California

What can I say about Geeks Candy Shop.....This is the best place in San Diego to pick up surplus/used Computers, Tablets, and parts!!!!! The customer service is outstanding and they bend over backwards to take care of you. I went in looking to build a home NAS and we decided on an older Dell Power Edge tower machine. We loaded it up with additional ram, hard drives, and an ssd boot drive. They tested and fought with it to get make sure everything was detected in the bios (the whole process took about 1.5 hours) and I went home with my new to me machine. Unfortunately when I got home and tried installing Truenas Core it kept hanging up during the install process (I even tried using Unraid and still no luck). The next day I gave them a call and was told to bring it back in. I got there a little after 4pm (they close at 5pm) and we proceeded to look for another machine that would fit my needs. After trying out a few options we ended up putting together a custom setup out of the parts they had in stock. They stayed open 40 minutes late to make sure I was taken care of and even gave me a discount on the upgrades. If you are in need of an affordable PC, Tablet, or just need to grab some parts to build or upgrade your existing computer......Geeks Candy Shop is the best place in town to go!!!!!!! read more

This shop does have a lot of goodies for if you are a computer builder/repair technician. However, I personally find their items overpriced for what they are. There was a time when I was looking for a computer in a mini form factor. They did carry several of them and so I picked one up. Computer was working fine. But when I got home, I noticed that the computer reported only half of the advertised RAM capacity. And the power adapter, which did not come with the computer and I had to purchase it separately, was not OEM and whenever I plugged in to the outlet it would give sparks. So I had to return to the store and asked for a refund for the power adapter and to have them install the other "half" RAM. Just sharing this to hopefully help anybody who is looking to buy stuff here. Just be aware. read more

The service was great and the value is unsurpassed. I picked up an Xbox one console which works great and even before I bought it the employee took his time to plug it in and run it in a monitor to make sure it worked fine before I purchased it and walked away. They also carry rare stuff from time to time. I will definitely be back to purchase more systems in the future and recommend anyone else to do the same if they like video games. read more

Always there to help out and allow us to take our time to make decisions & shop. Their selection covers from high end office use to personal use. They really go out of their way in catering to your needs. read more

I came across geeks candy shop while shopping for used computer parts on OfferUp to build my very first pc. I was in desperate need of something affordable that I could invest a little extra money into to make home office work way better. I found an Optiplex 9020 with an I-7 for a really great price. I was helped out by an employee named Daniel who answered all my questions and offered great additional parts such as upgrades to the ram and for the total price, I was really happy with my purchase. The employees really do well in allowing you to see the products work and can offer lots of advice. Also, I was pretty amazed by their products when I actually got inside. The nostalgia of their products is crazy, from newly built pc's to super Nintendo's and everything in between, they are sure to have something for everyone. read more

Geeks Candy Shop - The Facade. - Electronics Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys are experts and very knowledgeable! I had a situation trying to run 3 monitors and after speaking to them, they helped me come to the conclusion that I needed to upgrade my video graphics card. What I was doing was not working and they explained and helped me understand what needed to be done. They did not have a 3 port graphics card and even recommended me to a different place of business so I could get my situation fixed. I love that kind of service when people just provide expert advice without any monetary exchange. I will continue to support these guys and if I have IT issues, I will always look to them first for any future business I can send to them! read more

I drove all the way from LA to get some computer towers at great prices. I cannot find any surplus places like this in OC or LA unfortunately but I also came here to chill.

Hell world! Hope this finds you well. I ran into some trouble with a scam. Something was not adding up and red flags were popping, so I decided to call Geek Candy Shop. JORDAN HEMILTON was the one who took the time to answerd all my questions as silly as they may have been. He is extremely intelligent, professional and patient. Jordan explained how things work in these situations and helped me get on the right track. I searched Software AG's LinkedIn website for the people (scammers) who's names and other information. Nothing Of course when I asked what was the reason, they had an excuse. I then contacted the Hunan Resources at Woftware AG corporate. They also confirmed that it was a scam and that they have been trying to put a stop to this. HR explained their interview process which was nothing like mine was. Human Resources also suggested to reach out to Navy Federal Credit Union Bank I use, as well as none emergency local police department to open up a case since I did provide my passport (it was interesting they did not ask me for my social though). I printed out the correspondence as proof, to open up a case in case my identity may be taken advantage off. Again, I want to thank you JORDAN HEMILTON for helping out with this messy situation and putting me on the right track . Hopefully, I will be able to beat these scammers at their own game. Thanks again. JORDAN HEMILTON. Kristina Ushakov Graphic Designer MY PORTFOLIO | LINKEDIN PAGE read more

They messaged me at 4pm saying a desktop tower is available. Arrived at 4:45pm and the employees all told me it's sold a day ago. No one checked for inventory.l and I wasted an hour driving to this place. I Don't even think they do inventory. Don't waste your time with this place read more

I have picked up a few desktops and a laptop over the past 6 months. They work great. If you need an affordable computer. This is the place to get it. They have a plethora of used computers to choose from. The one in Mira Mar and the new shop in Chula Vista are great. A great place to get a project computer. read more

They were able to help me find a specific wi-fi card and at a good price. Very helpful, would recommend!

The best place in town for computer geeks. I always get great parts from Amir, the owner, who is always happy help search for the right parts at right price. You can get pretty much anything from desktops, laptops, monitors, internal & external components and other electronic office supplies here. What you see on the shelf is not all, if you need a particular part and they will try their best to dig them out and test them for you. They have a huge collection of parts that are just too good to be thrown away. I already built many powerful desktops (+5) for my family and friends using the parts I got here which are all still running strong. They recently renovated the store which makes searching parts much easier and they also sell small things like air duster cans, tools, etc. for your convenience. read more

Great value! Just picked up a monitor for my computer and they guy wqs very informative and knocked the price down $5 bucks and threw in a free pair of headphones, cool place read more

Today I bought a used DVD burner RW for my old 2007ish inherited PC tower. I heard about the used item for sale on Facebook Messenger Marketplace. Amir was kind, personable, knowledgeable and amazing to work with, and I was happy to learn that they take electronics recycling for free. I got a great deal on the DVD, and he even knew which power cable would go with it and sold me that as well. He said that if one's ever in the market for a custom-built or home-built PC tower, he has great hardware and vastly beats the price at Fry's! I believe he's been in business over 5yrs. Highly recommended, five stars!! read more

I was helped out a lot by the guy that runs the store and I was able to build a pc from old parts that runs like it was released in 2019 for less than $200 Everything was clearly labeled and the prices are unbeatable. Customer service is 10/10 and I'll be back in the future read more

I bought a 24" monitor at a great price. And the customer service was extraordinary. The first one I looked at had a small blemish on the screen, so they immediately grabbed another one and tested it out in front of me. It was my first time here, but it won't be the last. They have a lot of tech equipment, from connectors to laptops. It really is a candy store for geeks! read more

This place was great! I bought a gaming laptop about 6 months ago and absolutely love it, i haven't had any problems with it and the person who showed it to me was extremely helpful. I don't know a lot about electronics, and anyone else who is like that can relate to how intimidating it can be to invest into something as expensive as a new computer. Let me just say if that is you this is the place to go. extremely helpful and patient read more

Went in for some monitors since I have been working from home a lot more this year and doing spreadsheets all day on a laptop is painful. Scott was very helpful and I was able to walk out with matching dual monitors, all the cables I needed, a dual monitor mount and a keyboard for just under $150! They literally have everything and anything electronic you may need. Great friendly service, clean shop, very organized. Made the trip quick and efficient. read more

I was looking for a computer luckily I came across these guys who are very professional and helpful.

I purchased an Intel i5 8400 Dell workstation PC after browsing for an hour in this place, Daniel was extremely helpful with a memory upgrade and making sure the computer ran properly, there is alot to see here and the employees are really helpful in looking for what you want, thanks for the great service guys! read more

I have a new favorite spot for pc components (and beyond). To hell w/the big boxes - this shop is full of smart and friendly people who know their stuff and are there to help. Prices are way better than anywhere else I've seen, and it feels rad to have an option to support a cool small business while taking care of my tech needs. I LOVE that there's tons of used components - it's cheaper and saves a bit from the landfills. Why buy for more $ and with more (trash) packaging if it's something that can work just fine used? It's a bit of a drive for me, but I'll be making it any time I need something they carry. Stoked! read more

I needed to get wireless networking on my 2015 Dell Precision for a new office setup. They had a PCI-E card right there in stock, but I discovered my motherboard didn't have the block connecter for an extra jumper cable (it's also a Win7 system, and the card was for Win10 - though, sometimes hardware is backward compatible). Anyway - I couldn't get it working so I took the whole CPU in and they spent an hour troubleshooting the setup for me. They were very friendly and professional. We eventually had to go with a different wireless card, which they had in stock (they've got a huge inventory on site), and even that took a little time since my onboard ethernet jack was dead, so getting drivers was a hassle - fortunately the new card had a mini CD with it. Anyway, it was a bit of an ordeal but the guys at Geeks Candy Shop stuck it out and really helped me get running. They're definitely my go-to shop in San Diego (just moved here). I'll probably be back for an SSD and a good refurbished laptop. You need to check them out. read more

I actually responded to this one on offer up for a Mac laptop and it turned out that it was being soo at the Geeks Candy shop. Not only is the owner and his business partner helpful and knowledgeable they alsoWent above and beyond to help me and to make sure that I left the door feeling satisfied with the purchased product in terms of electronics. Geeks Candy shop has a very large inventory I definitely recommend this place. It's a fairly new local business so it's important to support our local businesses and this is one of them that you should definitely go out and support in San Diego. Located in a business park so parking is easy and available right in front. read more

Man these guys are amazing they put together a gaming pc that was put on offer up. I picked it up they I had to come back to get a little tweaks done that I didnt know how to do myself.

Thank you guys again you guys are the best in San Diego when it comes to PC and Electronics read more

This place is amazing, and staff is so helpful. I was looking for a refurbished laptop primarily for Spotify/SoundCloud - I called and talked to Jordan who was super friendly and helpful. When I got to the store, Ferdinand already knew what I was looking for, thoroughly walked me through the options, and made the decision quick and easy. I had an issue installing the Bluetooth driver and they just told me to bring it back in and fixed it up on the spot. It's so rare to have such great, quick and knowledgable customer service these days, we will be loyal customers. Definitely recommend these guys! read more
