Once upon a time…..
In 1990 Herb Gorden opened a small retail computer store
in New Orleans. This store was the definitive “hole in
the wall” type of store. So small in fact that it had
room only for one employee, Jerome Haden. With the
success of New Orleans first discount computer store,
“Computer Discounters” moved to a bigger location in
1991. Continued success brought multiple locations in
the New Orleans area. In 1999 the company expanded even
further, purchasing a small Mexico monitor refurbishing
company. The newly renamed company – “Computers Of
Mexico” became one of the largest sellers of refurbished
computer monitors in the world. The business plan was to
bring used monitors from the United States, refurbish
them, and then sell them worldwide to primarily second
and third world countries.
In early 2005, the operation in Mexicali, Mexico was
closed due to changes in the used monitor market.
Operations were moved to our 54,000 sq. ft. warehouse in
New Orleans. Monitors were no longer refurbished, just
separated and sorted, and shipped worldwide to be
refurbished in lower wage countries.
In August 2005 the New Orleans warehouse was destroyed
by Hurricane Katrina, and has not yet been replaced.
Since Hurricane Katrina, Computers Of Mexico has focused
on brokering used computer and electronic equipment by
the container or truckload, primarily
for export outside of the United States. We have also
expanded into other consumer and industrial products
that need to be moved outside of the USA.
The strength of Computers Of Mexico is our experience
and contacts in the marketplace. And ask around, our
reputation for service and honesty is unique
within this marketplace. Any products we offer for sale
are either owned by us, or we have a contractual
relationship with the owner of the goods we are selling.
Computers Of Mexico has an extensive mailing list of
buyers worldwide for almost anything. For that “odd”
item nobody wants, chances are we can find a buyer.
If you have only a few contacts, and can’t seem to get
the price you want, try us – we can present your
products to well over 10,000 potential buyers.
If you need to be discreet, we can be too. If you
require product to be moved offshore quietly and
quickly, contact us, we can whisper your product away
without a lot of attention.
And the best part is Computers Of Mexico never charges
any money unless a transaction is completed.
