The Santa Ana Goodwill on Fairview has several different features including a Goodwill Retail Store, In person Auctions and a computer store. I have personally never visited the auctions area where they action products in bulk. The Retail Store is one of the larger Southern California Goodwill Stores, it is nicely laid out and divided into two areas. The front of the store is all clothing, they have a wide selection. The back side of the store is household products and electronics. Of all the Goodwill Stores I have ever visited, this location has the largest selection of household items with about six rows and each row having two aisles. The general electronics selection is relatively large, near the front wall of the back of the store and the appliances section is moderately large at the back wall of the back of the store. In between the clothing and the household area so the store is a small furniture area that is cramped together. In a connected building, this location features a Computer Store. The computer store is the largest Goodwill store for electronics limited to Desktop and Laptop Computers, Printers, Video Game consoles and games, Stereos, a few cameras, speakers, computer monitors and sometimes a few TVs/ They have a very large selection of computer parts - great if you are building a computer and need some older parts like hard drives and video cards. The computer store sticker prices are on the high side, often times one of their used Desktops or laptops they have refurbished are sold for the same price or more that you could go to a discount electronics store like Frys and buy a lower end brand new model. If you get to know that Computer Store Employees and buy a lot of products at the same time, or are a regular customer, some will give you a discount or allow you to negotiate a better price. The video game consoles at the front of the store have been tested and checked to make sure they work, but if you buy a video game console from one of the store shelves in the middle of the store, they are general not tested and often do not work. If you are in the area, then this store is worth putting on your list of stores to swing by and visit. In the 13 years I have been visiting this location which is over 50+ miles away, the employes have been very friendly and the computer store employees knowledgable.

electronic items are way too expensive. for example. new router, when on sale is about $20, all accessories r included. goodwill sell $15, plus $3 for power supply, plus ethernet wire, usb wire. total is over $20 for a used router. Also, no refund. wireless keyboard, it has to have a receiver. but the people work there will lie to u that this wireless keyboard does not needed a receiver. new only $15 with wireless mouse. goodwill, $10 for wireless keyboard, $10 for wireless mouse. i thought that people donate to goodwill. they should pass out the good charity to other people by selling with reasonable price. WHY PEOPLE GO TO GOODWILL, BECAUSE THEY R POOR. GOODWILL TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THAT. SELLING USED, OLD STUFFS AT PRICE OF ALMOST NEW . BAD BAD BAD GOODWILL

The layout of this Goodwill is really different than other Goodwills in the area. I felt that there was a lot more to look at was there for an hour or so and I still hadnt looked at every section. I feel that theyre clothing areas are a bit more organized. They had a lot more selection in the handbags / purses section. The sports equipment was a wreck. I felt that the pricing on there instruments were way overpriced. The other part of the Goodwill Computer Store / electronic side was intriguing. Something I will definitely keep in mind in the future if I need any spare parts or used pieces for any projects. As with any good will you pretty much have to hunt and sift through it all..

Pricing is random & pricing is pretty much what the help wants it to be went here for a monitor, found one wasnt priced asked for price reply was $40, when every other monitor were priced @ 14.99 to $29.99, which were double the size & managers arent authorized to make decisions so place is a waste of time all but help offered me a monitor that was 1/2 off, so I thought okay maybe come yo find out monitor was over 10 yrs old that what they were trying to sell so all this place did was waste my time I shop GW, to contribute recycling a good thing, GWs service one I can do without!

The people have always been friendly. I have purchased dozens of computers over the years, mainly due to price. But the quality is severely suffering lately, your computers are constantly "blue screening", failing with fatal errors, PCI slots dont work, and your warranty has remained at a paltry 7 days, just enough time to do nothing. You need to increase your quality and increase your warrant to one year, at least 6 months. Now Wal Mart is competing with you on price and their warranty far exceeds yours, so I will not return to your store until your policies and quality are updated.

This Goodwill is very neat & organized. I found many clothing items that were new. The furniture/home section is full of interesting pieces for decor, very nice artwork. The staff have a great attitude. Good prices. Be prepared to lose track of time.

Go in there knowing what you want, and you should be golden. It was my intention to build off of an older 2nd/3rd gen, and I did exactly that.

Place sucks and over priced. People donate the items and they turn around and sell it for more than what you could find it new in stores
