3 Simple Steps To Get Outrageous Bargains on Computer Parts Today

1. Use TXcess Surplus Prices as Your Lowball Guide:

Go directly to our TXcess Surplus Computer Parts Store. Then check out our budget-friendly prices, but you don't have to buy it now. We really want you to compare our prices to other computer part stores, dealers, and shopping sites because we want you to see we really do offer computer and electronics directly to the public at wholesale prices. No membership required. We also sell large quantities (bulk lots) to computer brokers and online retailers. In fact, we sell our products to our competition, too. So go to the TXcess Surplus.com computer store... and check out our prices online (or bookmark us now):

2. Use The Most Relevent Search Terms:

To get the best search result for a specific computer part you need to use the most relevent search terms. If you use the Computer Manufacturers' Name + the Part Number (like: Dell R6250) instead of searching for the part name (PowerEdge 1655MC Motherboard) you can usually bypass product reviews, blogs, forums, etc. You should land on a page filled with computer dealers and online stores that have the exact part you're looking for. But if you hit a page that doesn't show the product (and include the price), it usually means your part may not be in stock on that site. You may also want to skip the sites with laundry lists of product numbers unless you have lots of time to play.

3. Make Sure You Get a Phone Number and Guarantee:

Maybe you've never had a problem with your online purchase, but if you have you know that email is not the way to get good service. Just make sure the company you choose offers a money-back guarantee and you should also look for a company phone number for customer support to take care of any issues... before you buy anything. And if you find a better price than TXcess Surplus Computer Parts Store -and you trust the company to deliver the product - and you believe they will take care of you like we will- we won't feel too badly... as long as you come back and visit us again!

We've been selling computer parts online for almost 10 years and we're very serious about our business... plus we want you know you're really getting a deal from us and a 100% money-back guarantee, too. It's good for us... and hopefully our bargain-friendly prices are good for you, too, because we work very hard to keep our prices down and keep up with your expectations.

If you are curious about us and want to know more about our company, our computer hardware, Dell parts, and surplus electronics products -or you just want to know why our prices are so low- go read our About Us page.

Shop Online On Craigslist - Buy Locally

You Can Buy Computer Parts Locally on Craigslist

The brainchild of Craig Newmark, Craigslist began in 1995 as a way to create online classified ads for jobs and services in local communities. It’s now a worldwide phenomenon with the same “local services” feel for its users.

If you’re new to Craigslist, take a few minutes to read the general information in tabs along the left side, particularly the sections Avoid Scams and Your Safety.

Craigslist Shopping Tip: The number one advice for avoiding scams on Craigslist is “deal locally.” If you can't meet the seller in person and examine the item before you buy it, don't buy it. And never pay for any item on Craigslist with a money order, Western Union or a personal check because you have no way to get a refund or reverse the charges if you have a problem.

The point of shopping on Craigslist is to give you a way to search in the city nearest you. By making the local connection, you can complete the transaction in person.

To find the Craigslist for your area, search for the closest large city.

The format of Craigslist is different than eBay, so you get only what the seller tells you. There's no guarantee. Never buy or make a financial commitment until you know what you’re buying.

Unlike eBay, which has a buyer protection plan, Craigslist is like the local newspaper - merely making the information available with no responsibility in the transaction.

From the local pages, you can find computer parts and repairs. The advantage of Craigslist is that you can find nearby items to save postage or travel. Look under the category “For Sale,” and then “Computers.”

This is a broad category that you have to scroll around to separate computer sales from computer parts for sale. The listings are organized by date, not item type, so it takes longer to find what you want on Craigslist than on eBay.

For example, here’s one posting: “Many Computer Parts Cheap.” The listing detail merely says that parts are available in the lot or separately for desktops, monitors and keyboards.

The listing gives the city, posting id number and local phone or a link to email. You still have to take the time to find out exactly what kind of parts they have and whether any of this is useful for your computer.

Parts shopping on Craigslist can be time consuming. Maybe you just want to find someone to fix your laptop or computer and let that person search for parts. Search the sub-category, “Services,” and then click on “Computer.”

You’ll get more listings of individuals and companies that offer repair services. These are still listed by dates, not category, so you have to scroll around to find what you want. Craigslist gives local sources for parts, but the clumsy search options are time consuming and you still might not find what you need.

Quick Googling Tip for Buying Computer Parts

Hate spending hours trying to find the computer part you need at the right price? Some online brokers create laundry lists of computer part numbers, but when you click on their link you still can't find a price.

Google Shopping (formerly known as Froogle) makes it simple to find computer hardware by model names and part numbers. And Google's Product Search is so comprehensive that even if you don't know the actual part number you need, you can simply type in your computer model and the component type to get results.(Example: Dell PowerEdge motherboard).

If you are ready to buy... or simply want to compare prices from several online computer part sellers, go to Google's Products Search page and try it today. It can save you a lot of time and money.
