Questions about getting various things in Kenya (PC Hardware, Sports Equipment etc. )

reddit.com/r/Kenya/commen…

Hi all, I hope the current Covid wave has not hit you and your loved ones and that you are safe. Sorry to bother you with trivial questions like this, but we will move to Mombasa soon and we were wondering if it is possible to get any of the following things directly

in Mombasa or at least in Nairobi and at what quality and price. 1) PC Hardware: I like to build my own PCs and I will need to buy all kinds of parts at some point in time (RAM, PSU, GPU, Monitors etc. ) are there any decent hardware shops selling genuine products in

Mombasa or Nairobi? 2) Sports equipment: I love playing football and I will need to buy new shoes at some point. Are there any shops that sell original shoes? 3) Stuff for babies: We will move with a little baby and we do not want to bring anything that could easily be

purchased in Mombasa. Will we be able to easily find a baby cot, a changing table, diapers etc. in Mombasa? I guess if there is no "western" store for furniture we can get it made by a carpenter, right? Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this. I hope the situation

will improve soon. Have a good day

You'll have limited options and everything will be ridiculously overpriced. If you want to build your own PC, it's better to ship everything from the US or Europe. You have companies that offer the shipping services. There are pricey sports stores

that sell authentic stuff, but used gear is a viable option here. The used stuff sometimes is better and is much cheaper and not that hard to find. No worries here. Plenty of baby stores and, yes, you can get carpenters who'll do good work on custom
