The Haiti “Mache Technology” located in downtown Port-au-Prince has grown into a small city with a life of its own. It was given the name because most items sold there are in the technology category. For those with small incomes, people come to purchase electronic items which are usually outdated, but at affordable prices. Most items are salvaged items, repaired and resold.

Come and explore more than 3 blocks of used and new electronic equipment, cameras, and other items. Select from over 200 merchants. You’ll find an enormous variety of electronic collectibles, tools, inverters, radios, computer parts, car radios, and more. You’ll see a huge selection of batteries, speaker amplifiers, electronic musical instruments, and all types of tools from screw drivers to power saws.

Younger visitors will enjoy seeing old electronic toys and games. Even though Port-au-Prince has more upscale electronics shops such as RadioShack, and venues such as COMP Haiti, and PC Express, many will flock to this outdoor market to save money and hunt for bargains. Even though your search might be hit-and-miss, if you are patient, and give yourself enough time, you can often find what you are looking for.

The upscale markets are few and far-between, and have stricter hours of operation. Sometimes, if you are just missing a power cord, or need batteries, the Mache Technology is a better solution. Essay
