Computer Thrift Store

NTR operates a computer thrift store where you can purchase:

  • Desktop computers, refurbished and very affordable. Mostly PC, some Mac. All backed by a three-year warranty (and you don't have to ship your computer anywhere).
  • Laptops. Call for availability, as it is sometimes difficult for us to keep enough in stock.
  • All sorts of peripherals and accessories. As in any thrift store, you never know what nifty little rarity you'll discover here!
    • We regularly stock expansion memory, flash drives, USB cables, power supplies, keyboards, PS/2 and optical mice, external hard drives, and a whole lot more.
    • Some items are used and so can be had quite cheaply. Some we had to buy new.
    • We also have a selection of computer books, some out-of-print and available nowhere else -- ditto for software CDs.
  • Through the store, we also now have a repair service. Have your computer fixed right here!
  • Good feelings: When you shop at NTR's Computer Thrift Store, your money does not end up in the pockets of some billionaire shareholder but with a hard-working bunch of folks who actively care about and serve the poor, seniors, disabled, Philly schoolchildren, ...
Note: If you're thinking of donating a computer or some other hardware, please do not do so until you've read our rules for Equipment Donation.
