Computer Swap Meet

It’s not very big but you can find a few vendors selling some interesting things and if you’ve never been, it’s worth a look.
We bought two bulk ink Epson printers from QTC and they are working great and highly recommend it as you can save so much money on ink.

Nerds, don’t go here; now, it just straight out sucks. A long time ago, this was the place to go to for dirt cheap pricing on stuff like Monster Cables, Playstation 2 controllers, ink, and really good $ 1 al pastor tacos. They even used to sell satellite hacking equipment: o. When I recently came back, it was surprisingly way dead compared to before, even though this event only happens once every 2 months (last Sundays of odd months). The few vendors that are left, carry mostly junk (the stuff that you find in your garage that never gets used anymore). You might discover some high brand name cables, but a lot rarer now. They still sell Playstation 2 controllers, but none for Ps3, even though PS4 is coming out soon. There are plenty of computer parts for cheap, but the value of those products are even worth way less. Are there really people that are still building their own PCs with Pentium 3 chips? The restaurant that sells those tacos is still there, but when I came during the morning, I didn’t see them grill outside like they used to for swap meet day anymore :(. It is so empty now that even the motorcycle cop doesn’t deem it necessary to post there anymore.

This event happens every 4^th Sunday of every other month. January, March, May, July, September, and November. If you need more info, you can reach them at 714) 973‑2855. It is located at 1310 E. Edinger Ave. in Santa Ana, 92 705. Getting there early, like around 7 am, to find decent parking ‘cuz the place gets packed real quick, too! You will find used electronic items, parts, and software for your PC needs here. I’ve upgraded parts for my 5 year old laptop by buying stuff that i need in this place. Some of the vendors will let you haggle with them to benefit from each other. Others sell their stuff for a bargain. Either way, the buyer will always win! ATM’s in the premises — CASH ONLY, people!!! Compared to Fry’s Electronic Store or EBay, I would rather come here. Don’t forget to ask for their calling card so you can compare prices — most of them have their own stores and it may be near where you live.

Good prices on new and used computers, accessories, electronics, Blank media — and weird stuff too. Even portable fans and cell phone covers!
Get there early for the best used stuff. New stuff is there pretty much all day, but the good used stuff sells early!

NERD ALERT!
The computer swap meet occurs in the parking lots of businesses on the corner of Edinger and Grand the last sunday of every month.
You can get tons of great deals on new and used electronics and computers and software, etc.
The vendors get most of their stuff from eBay and random sources that are relatively trustworthy. It works like any swap meet as in haggling and wandering around seeing the same stuff over and over. It’s actually really awesome and deserves to be checked out by any computer geeks, people who are looking for parts, great deals, perhaps interested in refurbished models of anything, and my dad gets DVD’s here. Uhmmm like the ones filmed in the theatre… He just bought Ratatouille for me yesterday. Ahem. THANKS, DAD!
I bought a DVD player here a few months ago for twenty bucks. Stuff like that. It’s pretty neat.
It starts pretty early about 7 or 8am and lasts until the early afternoon. Parking can be a pain in the arse and i’ve noticed people are starting to charge for parking, so you have to be creative. yay! Get creative! Buy cheap electronics! Get nerdalicious!
