    One of several aisles of workstations. Cool memorabilia inside as well.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great place, great value, great people!

    A big shout out to Adam at Geeks Candy Shop! Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience with the Dell Optiplex 7040 PC I purchased for my kid in late April of this year, the PC is still running like a charm! Your thorough system check, including testing every port and your help in resolving the Windows 10 update issue when we got home were much appreciated. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we'll definitely be recommending Geeks Candy Shop, thanks to the exceptional service you provided. Keep up the fantastic work, Adam!

    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!!!!!!!

    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.

    My purchase of a renewed Dell Optiplex 9020 with an i-7 4790.

    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.

    Found a nice place to get some parts for my repair station in my garage Got a 24" LED IPS for $65 and an 8gb DDR3 RAM for $8. If you're looking for electronic parts on the budget, this is the place! Huge selection of scrap parts that stretches to 20 years.

    Purchase for today. They even went to their offsite warehouse to grab what I needed!

    On my recent trip to Staples I brought a pencil sharpener to return that I had purchased online. I…read morewent to the front because there was no line at the time and I have been stuck in long ones before. The person working the register got my order id and then hands me a receipt. He was not trained to confirm the details about the amount of my return. Unfortunately I was only given back the value of 60 % the cost of the item online and 50% of the cost in store. The month before this I had placed an online order that never arrived so part of my purchase was using a credit, but not the kind of credit that requires a minimum purchase. So I asked if I could exchange the item instead and he called a manager who was not interested in even listening and she called some 800 number and handed the phone to me. If the employee had confirmed the amount of the return I would have been able to do an exchange, but his failure to do that cost me money. And the manager was unwilling to cancel the return so I left without my pencil sharpener and lost the credit that they gave me for failing to deliver my order. This is not a lot of money, but i expent cashiers to be competent and I expect managers to train them. The store manager was awful, did not care about the customer and took no responsibility for running the store.

    My experience at Staples in Solana Beach was pleasant. There wasn't immediate service as I think…read morethey were understaffed, however someone did come to assist at the Passport Center and was very attentive and helpful. They made sure I knew how to look at the camera, took several photos and made sure I like what I got. Thank you!

    it was a pleasure to be serviced by mark…read more he took care of my old iPhone (se2), prescribing a solution and disclosing a competitive price before service began. overall service took about 20 min in and out. i actually came while he was occupied with a client offsite (which is at no point a fault at all), and decided to wait until he got back, and he was professional in handling the compensation. mark is very accommodating, offering me a beverage while i waited, and giving me a ride home since i ubered to the store. we had small talk during the drop off and it is clear that he is an earnest man. i made sure to tip him for the experience, and i am completely satisfied with the experience at pcs connection.

    I can't say enough good things about Mark and PCS Connection. Originally, I had my phone battery…read morereplaced there and the service was exceptional from the start. Mark took the time to explain how battery cycles work, what to expect in terms of battery life, and how to properly understand battery health. It was clear he genuinely knew his stuff and cared about making sure I understood the repair--not just getting me in and out the door. Fast forward about four months, and I unexpectedly started experiencing battery degradation. I reached back out to Mark, not really knowing what to expect since I was outside the warranty window. Without hesitation, he offered to replace the battery--no questions asked. That kind of customer service is incredibly hard to find these days. Anyone can provide a service when everything goes right, but standing behind your work and taking care of a customer after the fact is what separates a good business from a great one. Mark earned my trust and my business for the long term. This is exactly how you create lifelong customers. Thank you, Mark, for taking care of me and for providing such outstanding service. I highly recommend PCS Connection!
