Buy, sell & trade

Buy, Sell, and Trade Electronics in Surrey, BC

Smart Geeks buys, sells, and trades laptops, desktop computers, Mac computers, and gaming consoles in Surrey, BC. Bring your device in and we'll assess it in person before making an offer.

Overview

If you have a working or lightly-faulty device you no longer need, or you're looking for a tested used device instead of buying new, we handle both sides of that at our Surrey location.

Every device is assessed in person -- we don't quote a value sight unseen, since condition, age, and working order all affect what makes sense for both sides.

Smart Geeks is an independent repair shop and is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any device manufacturer. Brand and model names are used only to identify the devices we can work on.

What we accept

  • Laptops (Windows and MacBook)
  • Desktop computers and Mac desktops (iMac, Mac mini)
  • Gaming consoles and accessories
  • Working, lightly faulty, or outdated devices you're ready to part with

How an assessment works

  1. 1

    Bring your device in

    Drop by with the device and, if you have it, its charger or power cable.

  2. 2

    In-person inspection

    We check functionality, condition, and specs relevant to current demand.

  3. 3

    An offer, explained

    We'll walk you through how we arrived at the offer, so it isn't a black box.

  4. 4

    Your decision

    You decide whether to move forward -- there's no obligation to accept.

Factors that affect an offer

  • The device's working condition and any faults present
  • Age and current demand for that specific model
  • Whether accessories (charger, original packaging) are included
  • Data-wiping: we recommend backing up and signing out of any accounts before bringing a device in to trade or sell

What to bring

  • The device and its charger or power cable, if you have it
  • Please back up your data and sign out of accounts (iCloud, Google, Microsoft) beforehand
  • Valid ID may be requested as part of our standard intake process

Keeping working electronics in use, and recycling the ones that aren't, keeps them out of landfill longer -- that's part of why we offer this alongside our repair work rather than as a separate business.

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy broken devices?

Sometimes, depending on the device and fault -- bring it in and we'll let you know honestly whether it's something we can take.

Can I trade my old laptop toward a repair?

Get in touch and describe both the device you'd trade and the repair you're considering, and we'll talk through whether that makes sense.

Do you sell used, tested devices?

Yes -- when we have tested used devices available, they're sold in person at our Surrey location.

Have a device to sell or trade?
