Old Gadget Town — Attraction in Harrisonburg

Good prices for ancient used technology and phone/tablet products, and they gave us a fair price for an apple watch.

However, I took a custom desktop I built myself in there a couple weeks ago and they offered me $250.00 for it. The parts cost me $1700 eight months ago when I put it together, and I was looking for $1000-1200 or so, which I think is fair for parts less than a year old.

Anyway, I found a buyer on craiglist and wound up giving him a Ryzen 7 1700X, MSI B350 Tomshawk, Noctua NH-D15S, and 16gb of decent DDR4 ram for $275, and I still have the rest of my system to sell off. It was less than the $450 or so I'd consider the best I could've gotten, but my point is they really need to learn what newer parts are worth and what they can be sold for.

I'd rather think they simply didn't know enough about current tech than think they were trying to con me, but neither is an ideal situation for an electronics business where such things are bought and/or sold.

To be fair, their explanation was that they offer half of what they can resell the item for, but I still don't see why they thought a system with the parts mine had was something they could only resell for $500. If they had offered $500 for it, and then explained how and why they determine their offers, I might have taken them up on it.

I thought that a business might have more time than I could spare to find a buyer and make the most they could from reselling whatever products they might buy from someone, but maybe they were as desperate as I am currently for cash and were hoping for a quick sell and really needed to turn around and get their money back as soon as possible.

Despite all that, if I need a used dell optiplex or something similar in the future I'll happily...

• warning * Do not take your cellphones or anything else that needs repaired to Gadget Town located at 50 S mason st , suite 110 Harrisonburg ,Va . I took my iPhone 5 in there for repair last Friday November 28, because I dropped my phone and cracked the screen . I did not mind paying the hundred dollars to get the screen replaced , but shortly after I started noticing problems with the screen . My home button kept sticking to the screen , I then realized the screen was not flush with the home button like it should be with the iPhone . Of course me being the person I am I figured nothing would come of the problem . That was until my screen cracked while in my pocket , and of course the screen cracked at the home button . I visited two iPhone retailers and both of them told me the home button should be even with the screen . They also stated that I needed to take the phone back the company that fixed it , so that they could fix the error . I took the phone back to gadget Town , where I was met with horrible customer service . They were not willing to except fault and were putting the blame all on me . They even got out another iPhone in the display case to compare it and it proved them wrong and they still could not admit any wrong doing on there part . All they wanted me to do was hand over more...

Serviced a laptop for college, and my fiance's XBox S. It cost me over $150 for the XBox job (the HDMI port) plus $50 to fix the power button on my laptop (whenever my battery went low and my laptop died, I could not turn it back on). The man wanted me to keep paying $50 every time my battery went dead ("power-cycling" the worker called it) on my school computer, so obviously the problem wasn't fixed as expected. A month and a half later, the XBox HDMI port was back to not working as before. So, money wasted. And I was almost charged TWICE ($300) for the XBox servicing as a receipt was asked for at pickup. Thankfully I kept it. The electronic itself was only $350 brand new at GameStop, so the pricing at GT is outrageous. Watch being taken advantage of, as now I have both a non-working laptop for college and a non-working XBox S but am out over $250. I am now in KY and was told the "saudering job" for the XBox HDMI port is a $20 fix. I am highly upset with being taken advantage of, and not having working gadgets! Beware of...
