WHY GEEK SLOP SHOP?

Geek Slop understands geeks (because we are geeks) and their fondness for inventive gear and hard-to-find collectibles!

We take great care to ensure the product arrives to you in the same condition it came to us. At our online geek store, all items are carefully wrapped and padded to help prevent scratches and reduce the risk of damage. We use only the highest quality boxes and seal all corners and seams to reduce risk of water/liquid damage during transit.

We curate the pop culture market for you, evaluating and selecting only the best from hundreds of the most popular manufacturers.

We consider our customers to be part of an exclusive community and as such, we never stop providing service for them. We monitor the value of our customers’ collectibles even after we’ve sold them – and we let our customers know when the value of their collectible has increased or substantially changed. What other online geek store does this!?!

We listen. We listen to our customers. Are we missing something you want? Let us know! Is there something we could improve on? Tell us!
