Following up on our list of online video game stores you can purchase from during the extended community quarantine is a list where you can buy computer parts and peripherals. These stores are trusted by many PC gamers and enthusiasts and have been around for quite some time now. If, however, you’re fine with buying used, we’ve also listed down a couple of choices for you, and some helpful tips to avoid getting scammed.

TipidPC

Alternatively, you could also visit TipidPC and purchase from independent sellers. There are a lot of PC parts and peripherals being sold on TipidPC, some being brand new, and some used. You can filter and browse through the categories, or use the site’s search functions to find what you need.

What’s great about TPC is that the website has a built-in rating system, and you can check out the seller’s profile to see if he’s trustworthy. You can message their profiles on the website, or send the seller a text (numbers of serious sellers are usually on their profile) to start the conversation. Be sure to quickly reach move to Facebook or other online messaging platforms so you can ask for more photos of the item, or a video proof that the item is indeed still working if it’s used. Especially since you won’t be able to meet face to face, ask for a photo of the seller’s government-issued ID, as well as a personal warranty to reduce the chances that you’ll get scammed.

Facebook Groups and Marketplace

You could also try your luck finding parts and peripherals on the Facebook Marketplace and other PC-related groups. Again, be sure to communicate with the seller, ask for a copy of a government-issued ID, personal warranty, and proof that the product is working to minimize your chances of getting scammed.

Do note that these shops are experiencing a huge surge of online orders, and waiting for their replies may take longer than usual. Stay patient, don’t rage too hard, and game on!
