I remember Micro Center when they had a one-room storefront on Lane Avenue in Columbus, Ohio (early…read more1980s). I knew the owners personally by their first name (Hi Tom) before they became a national superstore chain. I knew them when the internet was a baby, you didn't need more than 64 kilobytes for a computer, and a 5.25" floppy disk could hold more than enough for your program. They were sponsors of our Apple Computer User Group (COACH) in the day. They are good people, dependable and trustworthy, and their 30-day return policy cannot be beat. My first computer, an Apple II+ and monitor, was from them in 1983. I now have their own brand, a PowerSpec Windows 11 Computer. For over 45 years, they have been my computer store!

You will also find a huge variety of gaming supplies. Office and Personal computing, cell phones, laptops, and tablets, and so much more. Need some kind of obscure cable or power supply for Home, office, or vehicle? They've probably got it. Do you need something for regular or 3-D printing? This is a good place to start. They have a lot of those things here too. Audiovisual presentation materials? They've got you covered. Robust website for searching out what you are looking for. Chances are you can either find what you need in the store or they can get it for you. Super helpful people at the customer service counter in the front of the store. You will note that there is a queue of customers in line to check out most times, but this line moves incredibly fast.

Their coolest in the plaza is this,an electronics second hand shop. They have a decent section for much you can think of: tablets and accessories, smart phones, receivers--even modern ones with the laser connection and iPhone doc--speakers and sound systems, video consoles and extras, GPS units, headphones, and scientific calculators. What has me stoked is their camera selection: bags, tripods, filters, and lenses, as well as lower brand DSLRs bodies. I am excited to find the had lenses somewhat compatible for my camera--they seem to buy both zooms and primes. They are used of course, off brands, but really affordable--they had a 200 zoom for around 40 dollars. Perfect for me while I learn new skills with my camera. No need to invest yet in the better brand names. Besides I have dropped my camera twice; I'll wait until I master lesson one--how not to drop the expensive DSLR camera--before I spurge for top line lenses. It is second hand of course, the selection will vary depending on weekly buys and trades. But this is a good place to snoop for a deal, or just stop and spy around, waiting for an impulse.

I realized I could get the same price with a direct purchase and decided to do just that. I knew exactly what I wanted and saw that it was in stock so make my trip out to Morse Road (near Easton Towne Center). Easliy found parking and walked in back to the TVs. A floor sales rep asked me if I needed help with anything and I answered Yes, just trying to find this TV. It was that easy. He took me to the area and brought it up front and I proceeded to wait in line. I did have a bit of a wait and upon getting to the front the cashier mentioned I should have been placed in the other line for faster check out. I wasn't really concerned as I saved more than $100 with the sale price and was super excited. Overall, a good experience and everyone was super helpful and friendly.

I have enjoyed each visit to the shop. In a market where exploring audio is near impossible, their hours and availability are much appreciated. I drop by the shop every so often to see what's new and to listen to the flagship products. I have not experienced the design aspect of the business and do not have much interest in home automation, but they have great options. I am an audio guy, and really appreciate the variety. I would live to see some of their products showcased a little better. But I'm not certain they could do that with the space they have. I do not make purchases often, so when I cone in, it is refreshing that I am not treated as a spectator. But I am given excellent care. And allowed to listen. It will certainly translate to purchases when the opportunity arises. If you're looking to upgrade or get started on a hifi check out sound and vision!
