| TXcess Surplus Computer Parts Store: About Us Our Location Is New... But Our Computer Business Is Not
We've been in the refurbished computer and electronics industry for almost a decade and have sold tens of thousands of computer parts on the Internet. We recently moved into a larger warehouse in Round Rock, Texas, but it's really NOT OPEN to the public because we only sell online. The majority of our business comes from providing new and refurbished laptop, desktop, server and networking parts to people like you through this Web site. We also sell large quantities, or bulk lots, to other computer resellers and brokers. Some of our computer inventory is one-of-a-kind or hard to find spare parts. These items are usually limited stock. That's why we encourage you to buy it now if you find a computer part you need from our store--if there's only one available--because we may never see another one of these items again. How We Work Hard To Keep Our Computer Prices Low Most of the computer parts we sell are new, excess inventory, or OEM refurbished products, and we also sell a lot of Dell spare parts. We buy these computer parts in mixed truckloads from several different sources. In the computer secondary market, mixed truckload purchases offer the best price point for online computer sellers like us because we do most of the work in our warehouse, after the products are delivered. And it takes a lot of hardware-savvy employees to sort, identify, test and process the wide range of diverse computer products that arrive with each delivery. Sometimes we don't even get an inventory list of the actual items we are buying. This means we never know what computer products we will receive until they arrive at our dock. But over the years we have developed relationships (and friendships) with some of the best OEM direct suppliers in this industry and they continue to provide us, and occasionally amaze us, with all the great computer products you see in our store. Thank you guys! After the semi trucks deliver the wares, our serious work begins. The computer techs have to sort through each truckload (including every pallet and box) to find the marketable products in the mix. Then they pull the best products, test them, and add the items that make the grade into our inventory database. It is a time-consuming process that requires knowledgeable people who know how to identify strange (and sometimes obscure) computer hardware. It also requires hard physical labor in a hot Texas warehouse, but this uncommon combination of computer smarts and sweat equity is what really cuts our costs. The labor-intensive work alone may be the reason most of our competition cannot offer the same products we sell and match our low prices. They may not have the time, energy or highly skilled personnel to go through mixed truckloads. Or maybe they simply don't want the hassle. It is a ton of work, but we've been doing it for years and have a system in place that makes it work for us.
