Factory Direct (www.factorydirect.ca) and Computer Warehouse Outlet
(www.cwo.ca) are the main sellers of refurbished computers and
accessories in Toronto. The advantage of going into a physical store
in person is that you can usually try out the stuff in person in-store
to make sure it works before you buy it.

Other places to get stuff cheap or free are
http://www.redflagdeals.com (especially the forums),
http://toronto.craigslist.com (classified ads), and
http://www.freecycle.org (a set of mailing lists that let you give
away stuff for free, browse offers of free stuff, or request someone
give away something for free, and surprisingly, the system really
works. The Freecycle Network lists are especially good for
electronics, software and video games.)

Cheers,
Jason
