I really want to like this place - they're great to poke around at but I almost never buy because the pricing is just totally out of line. If you find your holy grail item and are willing to pay top dollar and come here regularly to hunt, then this is your place. I don't know if they sort by ebay high to low or what but you'll rarely get any deals here. Most (all?) Of their inventory is free donation/recycling so you'd think this would work like goodwill or thrift stores. However, items are often in very rough cosmetic shape and dirty but sold at the same price as mint on ebay.

Old consumer tube tvs with tint issues sold for $100+ that are often free on craiglist or marketplace. Couple that with a terrible 24 hour return period on tvs - I've tested a few in store and found color issues and busted inputs they either didn't test or disclose. You'd haul this all the way home and find out it needs returned and only have a day to do it. Retired enterprise networking equipment that is just beyond ancient going for more than brand new better consumer gear on Amazon or handed out for free from businesses in CL postings. Nearly all their video gaming stuff is sold higher than Pink Gorilla just a couple minutes away who actually have to pay for inventory and then go through the effort of cleaning it. For goodwill quality I expect closer to goodwill pricing.

My only purchase here has been a Sony 20" PVM they listed at an eye watering $2500 - literally hundreds more than equivalent eBay models that even included freight shipping. I counter offered to knock the piece down 30% so while massively out of line for what these cost a decade ago, I could at least let it go and hopefully break even if I ever sold it. I definitely wouldn't call it a deal but the one upside to something of this size was avoiding freight shipping from someone selling it cheaper and risking damage.Other local friends have reported some of the staff are more unlikely to haggle at all so you can't even count on trying to make a deal.

The selection is at least quite varied. The Seattle store has a lot of PC cases and TV's/monitors while the tukwila one has a better choice of printers and office equipment. If you just want to come peek around and see some fascinating electronics then at least the price there is right.
