I LOVE donating to the Reuseum! Glen and staff are so amazing to work with and they are quick to pick up large donations! They were early, provided a donation sheet without having to ask, and they were in and out when picking up the donations. I will always continue to donate here! Easiest and quickest place to donate tech. LOVE that they wipe the tech even if youve already factory reset everything. Makes me feel extra secure with donating here! HIGHLY recommend the Reuseum!

Addressing the recent 1 star review... I just want to add context to the situation. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I volunteer at the Reuseum. And I recall this incident. Nobody asked me to write this- Ive taken matters into my own hands with this matter.Ive known Glen for decades. He would never make fun of anyone. In fact, he stutters sometimes too. He might have been stuttering while responding to someone, but he definitely wouldnt deliberately antagonize anyone.The YMCA called and one of the employees returned her call. The representative from the YMCA made arrangements to come in and discuss the matter, which she did. She was informed that Glen, too, stutters and whatever someone thought transpired was indeed not what it looks like. Glen has undergone multiple background checks, fingerprints for an FBI background check, and has hundreds of personal references that have been vetted. Hes very qualified to be doing the job he does.We were told that the issue was resolved.I just want to point out Glen does not nor has ever answered the phone at the Reuseum. Brandon, Trevor, and occasionally Kyle answer the phone.Glen isnt even in the same building the phone rings to! Its been this way for at least the last 3 years. So I 100% believe the phone call situation is a complete fabrication.The managers name is Kyle, hes there 6 days a week, give him a call and air your grievances. It basically boils down to your word against Glen, and anyone who knows Glen knows he would not act like you are saying he did.

We absolutely love the Reuseum!They have been wonderful with our youth. Glen was a fantastic teacher when he taught our Scouts how to build Bristle Bots and Rockets.Over the summer we participated in the Reuseum Camp and all the kids had a blast learning about water quality, tie dying shirts, building their own spin art machines, rockets, doodle bots, and more.We enjoy coming to the Reuseum on Saturdays during Deconstruction where our kids learn how to take electronics apart, the importance of recycling, and giving back to the community.Glen and the folks at the Reuseum are respectful, polite, patient, and kind to everyone. We encourage our friends and others to come to the Reuseum.They also offer traveling programs and they have been an absolute blessing to the community. I love meeting folks who were at a community event and are coming into the Reuseum as well, experiencing Deconstruction and the Reuseum Community.

Absolutely fun and amazing place! A wonderful place for kids and kids at heart to learn new things. Glen is the best and endlessly kind and patient. Love this place!

Love this place! My teen, and preteen boys love coming here and learning how to take a part computers. The staff members are supportive and helpful.

Great staff. I come here a lot and they are always helpful and answer my questions. Would definitely recommend.

Im writing this review really just to combat the review from the person from the YMCA. It would be 1000% times more believable if you said one of the younger guys did something goofy. I dont theknow Glen on a personal level but you dont really have to know someone to know if they would mock a child for a studder. The likelihood of that is non existent. But then you add that he is repeatedly hanging up on you? So I am going to put this pretty blunt, I think you take NNarcotics.I wanted to see the very little thats possible about the person so I went to her previous reviews. The only other one is a review for a Papa Johns where she lost her mind over no extra sauce. Said some less that kind words about the kid working. It made a little more sense after reading that. I vote this lady unstable. The End

Love their selection of quality used items, electronics, laptops and more. Combat fun place for nurf weapons/gear next door. Freak Ally nurf, Group knows?

Eclectic shop full of computer parts, odd electrical components, and quirky people. Imagine if 1990s Bill Gates opened a thrift store. They have everything you need - pieces and knowledge - for whatever solder covered project you have.

I headed down to Reuseum for the first time in 18? Months. I was hoping it was still open. Sure enough it was. I was very glad. Reuseum has a little bit of almost everything. While there I witnessed a lady bring up a used video screen up to the counter and ask if it would work with a Roku. The clerk was knowledgeable, suggested some options and talking her through some of the trocky points. I did not find what I went to find. But I DID figure out another solution as I walked through. Reuseum is awesome!

This place is awesome!! They have really cool stuff. They also came to my office and hauled off old broken printers and stuff left behind from the medical office that was here before us. Thanks guys!! Keep up the great work.

Great place to shop. Excellent prices. So fun to search through what has come in lately.

Great electronics project store. Find most any common switch, power supply, diode, multiplexer, transistor, etc, you need. Almost everything is used/second hand, which makes it fun to search through to see what youll find. Wires and adapters and cords are found here as well many other electronics.

I have been volunteering here for a long time now and I want to say that The Reuseum is a great place. They have all sorts of things for great prices that you couldnt usually find anywhere else. Stuff that you would need to build the project of your dreams! Also during the Deconstruction Lab on Saturdays kids and adults can come in and learn more about electronics and engineering by taking apart stuff. Usually these things would go to waste but instead they are recycled and used to make new things or provide parts for projects. Great place that is non-profit and supports education, as well as provide people with things they need. The staff here are very nice and will help you out with finding components and building things with electronics. There are all sorts of parts for arduino projects, and just general electronics, they have large prototyping boards which are usually quite hard to find too. Great place that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Its a cool store to find used electronics. I went here for a birthday party. I found some cool stuff there.

What an awesome classroom environment! Garry was so helpful, the kids were intrigued, and it was hands on building awsome robots! I had such a good time I cant wait to bring my little boy there and have another class!!I also learned a great place to donate all my old electronics 2, and that some of the interactive toys have the parts that they need, what a what a great place to donate because you know theyre gonna re use and make something really cool out of it! We had about 16 kids in the class and it worked so well! Definitely coming back soon.

Love this place and has VERY useful items you cannot find anywhere else!

I was referred to this business by a friend when I asked about finding an used laptop with Windows XP Pro. When I entered the business and asked I was rudely told it was an older operating system and he didnt sell anything like that. I explained why I needed it and his solution was buy one and then buy the operating system and he would install it pointing at the area where they were in the store. As I started towards the shelves to select one he told me I had to have a mask on. Its not required in Ada country any longer and I politely told him I couldnt wear one. He then told me to leave the store. I guess a virus thats 99% survivable scares him into being rude to customers. I wouldnt grace his doorstep if he was the last business in the country and would NEVER recommend this business. I owned a business for over 25 years and this isnt how to run a business. If Covid19 scares him that much why not offer to provide curbside service or any number of other options? Its not the end of the world after all.

Was a neat place until one day recently. I was a regular visitor, often brought new customers with me to help the store. Now they are on the list due to increasing local business tensions, its a shame, I liked the place.

Perfect for electronic and wiring components, even have proto boards. Good for killing time. Also have some good chem equipment too. Lastly, come here if you need bearings or motors before going online, might have what you need!

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, they have just about anything to get a geek excited and then some. Check them out!

Great place to shop for used technology! Plus they offer classes to kids for free or low cost!

Pretty cool place to get old stuff! Brings me back many years. Good place to donate old computer(s) too. Ill be back!

This is a great place where you can buy and learn. I talked with Glen Martinthe Program Manager. I told him I need to learn Arduino programing for a project I was doing. He put together everything I would need along with a lesson plan for my first project. He would not even take money for the parts he gave me. I could see he loves to teach and Reuseum would be the place to learn.

The workers are very helpful and the shop has lots of good stuff. Its more of a treasure hunt if you go there for components. If I cant find the section by walking around quickly for transistors or op. Amps, etc, I usually ask for the general area so I can spend my time searching for what I need instead of looking through the whole shop. They group most everything together by category, but you need to search for specific components yourself. Make sure you have some time when going here, make it a fun trip.

Cool place for all things electronic!

One of my favorite places in town. Great for engineering minded people.

I found what I needed with a helpful employees assistance. If you find yourself wondering what happened to Radio Shack and wanna squeeze when hearing, you might find it online check this place out. What Youth Ranch is to Macys, Reuseum is to Radio Shack.

The Reuseum is a place I can only describe as magical. A quick browse every week or two can net you some incredible deals. I have gotten a 4k Dell Monitor for $40, a 10 inch sub-woofer for $20, a 6 monitor stand for $20, and quite a few other things.On top of that, the selection of basic (and not so basic) electronic components is insane. They have two walls lined with them, and a vast assortment of ICs.Overall, it is a great place to shop.

Dope place! Lots of parts.

Have used this place for many used electronic parts, power cords, transformers, etc. They almost always have the hard-to--find part and at reasonable prices, with honest, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended. Ron

My brother went in to buy a power supply for a Dell laptop. He got the wrong one and so I went back to exchange for the right one and they told me that they have a no exchange policy even when I had the receipt. I think that they are complete rude asdholes

A great place to find recycled/used, electronics and technology items. you can find hard to locate parts and pieces.Though still one of a kind, i miss the Reuseum at its original location..

This is the first place I go good older electronics. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great geek out. Sort of like what Radio Shack used to be.

Me my wife and 2 kids have been coming to the reuseum for just over 8 months and will continue too. Glenn is a great person to talk to about anything with electronics and great with my kids in the deconstruction lab just a really down to earth person. I make the 1.5 hour drive just to take apart electronics and make it a family day, and relax doing it. Thanks so vary much Glenn, you have helped my youngest realize how much more fun electronics are for him. My oldest will I have to really watch what he wants to build next.

They dont have a restroom for the public

Great place for parts or just looking around. You never know what you will find!

One of the best walk in maker supply stores and maker resources in the country, this place has everything, and the staff knows their stuff!

Went there a couple of days ago. The staff was really great at ... ignoring me completely and answering my questions wishing I would just get the hell out of their dump.

You just never know what youre going to find there. You can be certain of great prices though.

Great place. Full of a ton of different electronics for tinkering. Staff is always great and helpful, they will lead you in the right direction to make your project work.

Always fun to see what new stuff they get in.

This place is really awesome if you want to look at historical electrical items, and lots of new technologies! (One time they had these emergency lights/sirens!) Its a really fun place to just go look around! Staff is very friendly, as well. Lots of things are very cheap, but some (not a lot) just seem a little overpriced to me. Dont let this stop you from coming here, though!

Amazing stuff! They have things like computers, monitors, stereos, cables, you name it. They also have lots of electronic components, fans, motors, wires, meters, power supplies, coils, etc. I got an old reel-to-reel tape machine for $80, and a great gaming laptop for $60. Theyre nonprofit, so you can donate all of your old gadgets and assorted pieces of technology.

I went in hearing good things. They had some neat stuff. The reason I give it a 1 star is they had one person working. He did not seem to interested in helping folks. I noted they had steal rods, 8mm and 12 mm type. I use these for my machines. You can get them out of old printers or off Ebay for like 5 to 10 dollars. After second time of asking about a price the guy threw out a price of $30 stupid.

Great selection of used electronics and amazing prices.

So incredibly impressed by these guys. My three year old took a class put on by them and we were both so happy with it. All of he gentlemen were so, and I mean so, good with the children. We cant wait to take another!

This place is one-of-a-kind. The stuff in the place is very interesting and sometimes useful. The prices are good, and it benefits a non-profit that introduces kids to technology. Whats not to like?

Be careful when you shop here, the help is not knowledgeable enough about computers plus they dont inform you of their policies such as no returns, my fault for not doing my homework.

Like a candy/toy store for adults! If you like to build, tinker or explore, they have just about everything you could ever think of and more! Mechanical, electrical, medical, chemistry glassware, tools, fasteners, pneumatics, hydraulics, work/safety clothing, furniture, structural materials, motors, pumps, computers and parts for just about everything. They constantly get new stuff and everything is bargain priced. If youre a business looking to get rid of old equipment or parts, they take donations too.

I just really love the place! The environment was interesting, but the stuff they had was really cool! The guys behind the counter were awesome! I now go to the store everyday when I have the time, its just great!

This is a cool place to check out if youre into gadgetry or electronic nerdery. If you need a replacement AC power converter, youll probably find it here too. Appreciate that theyll take donations.

Fun to look around and imagine what you could build!

They are always so nice and helpful.

This place is fantastic! Bring all your used electronics. What a great way to help kids stay engaged in technology. I highly recommend using The Reuseum!!

Cool store. When I was making my robot for my class, I went to the Reuseum and found plenty of resistors and electronics I needed. Great store!

Awesome lightly used electronics and components shop. They have downsized into a smaller building but still have quite a bit of stuff to look through. I always buy something to help than keep the doors open.

This place is like heaven for hardware hackers, robotics fans, tinkerers or anyone who needs oddball and hard-to-find parts. From stainless steel screws by the pound, to massive lasers, to indescribable old devices, to old VHS camcorders, to gas masks, Reuseum has something for nearly everyone.😁👽👀👍

Brandon was super helpful when I was in a major jam trying to find resistors. Awesome place.

Not impressed. Donated 3 pc and a laptop and then they charge me $10 for a monitor. They say they are a non profit but I dont believe that for a second.

Describe this place in one word: Me Really Great.

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! They do not stand behind there products!(understandable for their used stuff but I am talking about new in original package) Ive been a regular customer for years and reasonably satisfied but Friday (07/20/2018) morning I purchased a new in the package arduino uno that was defective right out of the package (bad sector in prom). I tried to return it and encountered the most rude, arrogant, jackass behind the counter. First of all he would not believe there was anything wrong with the board. Then after failing to load a program. First he claimed that my software screwed it up. Impossible! you cannot hurt hardware with software. It runs fine in 3 other arduinos and have been using it for 2 years. Then he claimed I did something to it. I treated it far better than he did when he was checking it out. He didnt even use a grounding kit. He treated first as if I was an idiot, then as if I was dishonest. He couldnt even tell the board had a bad prom and claimed it was the ftdi chip. He absolutely refused to give me a new board. If you want an arduino, I suggest Amazon or Ebay.

This store has been my favorite place in Boise for many years. The employees were amazing!

Just discovered this place, and wow, my son and I did not want to leave. If you are at all interested in robotics, be sure to strike up a conversation with the staff to learn what fun things they are up to!

I walked in and asked the guy at the front counter if they had any 486 computers and he very smugly told me Yeah I do but not for sale. Terribly rude staff, dont waste your time here.

This is the only place in town for electronic hobbiests to find supplies.

They ripped me off, i bought a arduino touch screen shield and I asked them if it worked and they told me it did and when I went to test it, it had vertical green lines running through it indicating that its obviously broken

There are a few haters, but honestly this place is a Treasure. I dont know what Id do without it. The bulk parts in the back are gold.

For us people that tinker there is no other place in Idaho like this place.

Miscellaneous used electronics and supplies

Great decoration

They gave me advice on fixing a motherboard for a kitchen aid convection oven and sold me the parts for 40 cents. I couldnt get help any where else. They have every kind of resistor, capacitor, etc,etc.

Amazing
