Best Used Computer Store Cary Near Me

John Glass: Great place to buy and sell electronics.

Kyle Fitz: They are a nice bunch of guys working in there, but that's where the positives end. If you are looking for a decent price selling like new items, think again. I walked in with $3600 (new) worth of stuff, most of it in like new condition, I walked out with $580. I received around 15% of purchase price. If you are okay with that, it's a nice store with nice people. However, I walked out feeling robbed having barely got double my sales tax back.

Emani Taylor: Frank was really helpful with our first experience in selling the electronics. Recommended to coming back again.

Joseph McCarthy: I called before I came in they were very helpful over the phone. Fair policies and work staff was very helpful. Would recommend.

Joyce Dixon: Everyone I stop by Paymore in Cary and had a wonderful experience with Bayyah. The store manager! Great outstanding customer service! If anyone has any electronics they would like to sale, trade or even looking for great use or new electronics stop by and see my guy Bayyah!

VintageClips: Quick and easy make sure to ask for Bayyah when you come in

Melissa Mitchell: Frank and all the guys here were super helpful. They bought my old MacBook for more than I would be able to get on the online selling websites and showed me some good deals on TVs since I told them I was in the market.

Sheldon Weathers: Bayyah was cool helpful attentive and cool staff as well nice place

Alan Sanderford: Great

Becca Pethtel: They gave me more for my camera than the local camera stores quoted! All of the employees were very friendly. Nick, the employee who helped me, was very knowledgeable and helpful in the process of checking, and pricing my stuff. 10/10 for culture, professionalism, and service!

Geoff Sebastian: Do not sell here I sold my laptop worth about $200 I got $80 bucks they made me sign an agreement and pretty much sold the parts in the laptop to make profit complete scam and they were rude as well.

Kierra Woods: My son wanted to sell some old games and electronics. Came here and Frank took care of us. It was a great experience. Nice clean and well organized store.

Paradox Dollbox: This place is fantastic for used electronics. They get stuff in all the time, so you never know when you'll get lucky! We got a neat Nintendo console with some classic games on it for a steal. They sell phones, games for most consoles, guitars, different consoles, and some small tool-style stuff. They also have more in the back than more room in the front, so be sure to check their website for their full inventory!The best thing is that they really consider buying any electronics you bring in, and can give you a buy quote that lasts about seven days.PS the newest update is that they no longer buy gift cards.

Jason (YaBoyShavaShave): Friendly Staff, Clean Store, Quick and Fair Payouts. Vin was a great help. Would definitely recommend.

Laura Moore: Bayyah & Frank were extremely helpful and friendly. They made the process very easy. Will definitely come back!

Leonardo Ferreira: Frank and Bayyah were super helpful and easy to do business with! Definitely recommend!

Chase Haywood: Nice people. Frank did a great job helping!

Ky Speed: My experience has been great shopping here. Bayyah was very helpful. Great staff all around

Robert Benson: Call for appointment, recommended.Staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.Have used this facility for several years, no longer considering anyone else for my computer needs.

Wayne Koluch: I've used AC before and have always had excellent service and results. AC diagnosed my recent problem as a bad hard drive and recommended I check to see if it was still under warranty. It was and the problem has been repaired. My experience was great and I recommend AC to anyone who needs their computer repaired.

Hemanth Sathavalli: My experience is really very bad, initially he said the charging port is not working and charged $120 to install an after market charging port which worked only for a day after I took it home and when I took it back he says the problem is with the laptop charge itself and suggested me to buy a charger from ebay for $22. I understand he has to isolate the problem by trying different options, but he could have chosen the cheaper option first and see if that resolved the issue.

Devin Watkins: Absolute computers replaced the battery in my laptop and did a fantastic job. I was kept up to date on the progress and they turned it around fast.

Katherine Rouleau: Super helpful and patient. Fixed up my computer for a reasonable price and quickly. Can’t say enough great things about them!

Utpal Chatterjee: Nice and quick!!

Beth P: This is the only place that I will take my computer. The staff is the best there is. They are knowledgeable, friendly and they won't sell you something you don't need. Definitely take your computer there or buy one from them. You will not be sorry. Their service is second to none.

Brad Langer: Here's the problem. Most of these reviews are old. This is an experience from Oct 2022.I was going to go to Interex to build a computer, a tower. Cost wasn't an issue, I just wanted it to be newer, faster and better than what I had which was a decade old. At the last moment, the owner, Phil, told me that his guy, Josh, would configure and even build the machine if I wanted. Time was $75/hr. They would charge me a half hour to configure and 1 to 1.5 hours to build. I said okay.I brought my old tower to show them what I had and Josh told me that they would build a new machine and use my old graphics card which supported the two monitors I currently used. I agreed.A week later the parts came in and I called. Phil, the owner, was cold, but told me Josh would be in on Tuesday and to bring it all over. I did. I got there at 3, via appointment. Josh still had clients coming in and phones to answer even though Phil was sort of begrudgingly helping out. In between customers, Josh built the machine. By 5:30, they were closing and I needed to leave as well.Finally they told me we were done and the quote for 1-1.5 hours was now 2. I paid and brought the machine home.When I hooked it up, I had no internet. They had forgotten to put in the drivers so that I could continue the setup. And, I only had the means to hook up one of my two monitors. My graphics card was "incompatible" with the board that they had selected even though I had not limited then to the selection and money was not an issue. Secondly, this new board did not accommodate two monitors without a special DP cable.The next day I went back to have them put in the drivers, give me the cable and finish the job that they started. They finally did, with no apology, in fact, more annoyed that I was back again. But they still charged me an additional $81.So in all, I spent almost $283 to have a computer configured and built INCORRECTLY. This is after spending nearly $1000 in parts.I was told that the shop is a pet project for the owner so his investment in customers is completely subjective. I was fooled. Don't be like me. In case something goes wrong, you have no recourse. I don't think the owner even really cares about bad reviews. Let the buyer beware. I just wanted everybody to know.Subsequent to posting my first review I was contacted by the owner who apologized for being oblivious to the situation as it was occurring and offered to refund me completely for anything I thought he did incorrectly.Several phone calls and emails later where the subject often broached was whether or not I would remove the review, I asked the Attorney General's office in North Carolina whether the proper protocol in this case would be to remove the first review or amend it with the subsequent facts. I was instructed that the proper protocol would be to amend it and let the people of North Carolina make their own decision with all of the facts. That seems reasonable.Since the reason reviews exist is to praise businesses that go above and beyond and to hold people accountable when their actions demand that they should be, the first review is still up.The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Caveat Emptor.

Olivia Carr: Hella nice. Don't charge if it takes less than 1hr to fix problem. Plus the guy is cute

Charlie Izzard: Excellent service!!

Achromatic315: Full disclosure - I have not taken my computer here for repair, BUT I already know they have integrity and knowledge! I called about a repair need, and was told about Apple's Keyboard Replacement Program, which replaces your keyboard for free if it's a listed model (which mine is). They didn't have to tell me that, and it certainly doesn't bring them money. I had called ComputerGuru4u and that guy just said it would be like $450+! Should I need repairs, I will be going to Absolute Computers!

Ravi Intranet: This place is a very. Good place. Josh is very brilliant and solved my problem in 2 minutes instead of best buys 2 day turn around time. If anyone tries to look at a problem instantly on the spot my advice is do not entertain such businesses. Josh listened to my problem and instantly solved it. I am a computer professional who built computers in the good old days. Those were the days of goodwill and instant solutions which I found today in “Absolute Computers”

Kenneth “Kenny” Finch: Fast and quality work at a fair price.

Ian Farrington: These guys are a big help brought my older laptop in for an upgrade to make it usable again battery replace ram upgrade and a solid state drive extremely straightforward and transparent with their pricing highly recommend

Luke Ramsey: I took my home gaming rig to absolute computers when I installed a new component and my pc started running really slowly and lagging. Josh asked me a couple of questions and diagnosed my problem after a super fast stress test. He showed me the parts I would need, but since they didn't have them in stock at that moment he suggested a couple options on Amazon. I left without paying a cent, went home, and did what he said. The issue was immediately resolved! I was hesitant to take my prized pc to any tech support business, but Absolute computers is now my go to place for pc help. Thanks Josh!

William Hernandez: I've taken countless computers there for updating, repairs, and modifications throughout the years. They've helped keep my small business going. They bend over backwards to make you happy

Ali Reeg: Very honest and knowledgable business!!

Junlan Lu: The guy was great and really nice. My PC had an issue that it won't post and the employee was able to help me narrow down a list of potential issues.He was respectful and didn't charge me for his time of diagnosing. If I need anything in the future, I will definitely go here for help!

vickiswank@gmail.com Swank: Excellent service! I am amazed at how much faster my computer works. I will definitely go to them for all my computer needs.

Nick de Silvia: This is the 2nd time they have helped me out. The 1st time was with a 4 year old laptop that crashed on me 2+ yrs ago and they were able to salvage so I could pull out all my files (and which still works today btw!!..... it's just slow and outdated). So when my new laptop was having wireless driver issues I headed back there. They had since moved from the shopping complex where they had been to a house on Holt Rd, and I am just as pleased as my 1st visit. Gave me good options of things to try and luckily problem was resolved on 1st try. Would def recommend coming back here when needed for any computer issues. Thanks for being there.

Tony: So I pay $2727.17 for a laptop that I had in my possession for 3 hours before it "crashed" and seller refunds me $2181.74. That's almost a $600 difference...really? Stay away from this company.

Chris Buccigrossi: Fantastic! Great prices!

Paola Salazar: Poor customer service from the start. Prices for most product specs are often above what can be found elsewhere. After purchase experience was terrible, once transaction is complete, they don't want to know you. Dissapointing.

mike stan: Very negative experience with Laptop Authority. Owner has unfortunately used deceptive means to gain financial benefit. Essentially a loop hole in terms and conditions has allowed him to profit from fraud. This is ongoing and will update with more information once process is complete. In the meantime, BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS.

Anthony Hogan: One of the better Best Buy’s I’ve been to in a while! Wouldn’t you know it, an employee asked me if I needed assistance. I didn’t need it but nice that it was offered. Especially in todays time.

Michael Clover: Rarely have what we need in stock. I'm surprised BB is still in business, to be honest...

yennifer betancur: Gran variedad de productos

Sabarathnam Vaithilingam: Got a good deal on electronics

Russell Villard: Went in the morning. Very helpful specialist helped me and directed me on whether to replace or upgrade. Received alot of information and very polite

Richard Banks: Clean and friendly

Matty Baker: Ryan was so good and helpful!! We wanted a laptop good for gaming and schoolwork and he was so knowledgeable and friendly!

Brking: Great experience, quick and efficient.

LNC Papa: This is the best Best Buy I've ever been to. They have many products and brands you don't see in other Best Buys such as SVS, Anthem, B&W, KEF, McIntosh, Arcam, Salamander, etc.

America FIRST Vote out corruption AMERICA!!!!: I’m a guy, of course I love Best Buy. It’s the only game in town anymore.

Sam Budwan: Poor customer service. Bought a headphone set less than two months ago, mic broke and they won't return it. Not even a store credit!! Very bad customer service.

Sydney Golden: Went to geek squad to get my iPhone 13 Pro battery replaced which was quoted at $89. I’ve literally had this phone for just over a year and the battery is defective. I got there and I have a small crack in my phone and he tells me that I have would have to pay almost $450 for the crack and battery because they can’t work on iPhones without fixing everything that’s wrong with them. Then when I asked if they really can’t just fix my battery the guy says “well we could - we’re just not supposed to” and then doesn’t offer to help at all. Giant waste of time.

Richard Grablin: Store personnel were friendly and helpful, answering a question I had right at the door. Inventory was low for items. Selection was not what I had hoped.

Heather Reagan-Holihan: We didn’t have to wait long to pick up the computer we had repaired but they took over a month to fix it correctly.

Bhavani S: I'm not happy at all they have good option in gadgets. But nobody was there to attend. I waited there for almost an hour, but there was no response.Finally, I ordered online from somewhere else

Lisa Prillaman: In and out quickly to get a replacement MacBook cord. The guy that helped me was friendly and knowledgeable.

Ray Lewis: I always get the greatest service each time I come to store

Andrew: The guy in the TV section that looks like Pete buttigieg is great

Kaycee Thompson: I’ve been coming here since 2015 for all my electronic needs. The last few years, maybe due to the pandemic, I started shopping online instead. The only thing they offer better than other stores is hands on tech support. If you buy the geek squad protection for your device and it breaks beyond repair, they’ll give you a new one. In 2015 they were open until 10pm and now they close at 8 making it nearly impossible to get off work, make dinner and still have time to make a run there if I needed to. I went there yesterday for the first time in about 6 months and the customer service was subpar at best. I brought my iPad in with the intentions of deciding which keyboard case I wanted for it. It was between two expensive brands and I wanted an expert opinion. When looking at the cases, the security alarm went off which attracted someone I could ask for input from. The employee stood by me as I compared the cases and I asked her questions about them but she didn’t know the answers. I had already done some research online so the knowledge I came with is the knowledge I left with. I did see a streaming microphone that caught my eye, so I thought I should go check the selection of those. There was only one to choose from, but 2 colors. Next time I’ll just buy what I need from Amazon instead of wasting my time and gas to go to this store where nobody knows anything and the selection is sparse. Very disappointed.

luqman hasan: Nice good customer service
