tasa Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 If any of you are in Minnesota, or are passing through, be sure to check out Free Geek Twin Cities. They have a huge retro selection in store. Super fun to browse! https://www.freegeektwincities.org/retro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Do they have real retro computers like Apple II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually been there in person but (word on the street) is the inventory is mostly donations/etc so it's literally whatever gets dropped off. Basically people donate old computers and game consoles, working or not, and freegeek fixes them, cleans them up, and sells them at "reasonable" prices (or at least used to) Like I said though, I've never actually been in the store. I haven't seen anything worth getting off he couch for yet, but I've only checked the online store a few times here and there... I've personally never seen any vintage "gaming" computers like Apple II, C64, etc.. I did see an Atari 2600 once 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broettger Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Their inventory is all donated stuff, but they do get vintage stuff pretty regularly. I have been going there to donate/ buy stuff for years. I don’t think the popular vintage stuff is around long enough to get put on their website.

Ah, that would make sense why I've never seen any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Looks like they changed locations too, they used to be right down the street from Heroic games and goods (btw - I highly recommend that place, great stuff!) Now they are down by Stardust bowling (I know, Memory Lanes but it will always be Stardust to me haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I would love to visit places like this when I travel, but I really hate the gamble when I have limited opportunity to visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if you are passing through it is great to reach out to them on their Discord server. There are also local collectors that would probably reach out to you. (I know that I have, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
