About Epic Deals
OUR EPIC STORY
As with many businesses, Epic Deals was established by our founder, Brad, scratching his own itch.
Brad had a love of the latest tech but couldn’t stand the process of buying and selling via classified sites. After dealing with the final scammer that broke the camel’s back, Epic Deals was born.
So, almost 14 years ago, Brad started building the business from home. It grew quickly and he ran out of space for stock in his small home office. Stock kept piling up – so he expanded his “warehousing” to the couch in the lounge. This was at the same time that his first child was born. Talk about a stressful start to a business.
As the courier parcels continued to take over the house, and with Brad often working right through the night, his loving wife made it very clear that the business needed to move into its own space.
In 2015 the business moved into a small 5 x 5m office (a converted garage) and employed its first real employee.
The business has since grown to be a team of 29 and has over 10,000 devices in our 600m² warehouse. We’ve had the privilege of delivering over 100,000 orders to date!
While there are now many small businesses trying to do what we do, we pioneered the formalised online buying and selling of used tech online in South Africa, and continue to lead, but always searching for ways to make the customer experience better, and to make life more affordable for South Africans.
We are proud to have over 3,000 positive ratings on bidorbuy.co.za, and many of South Africa’s largest companies trust us with buying their used products.
Our team is focused on customer service, and we maintain a “continual learning” environment – we strive to improve daily.
Instead of complaining about the state of our country, we want to be part of the solution. We want to grow our business and employ as many people as we can. Our team also has a heart for the poor and is actively involved in community upliftment and entrepreneurial training programs in the local townships.
For security and operational reasons, we do not allow collections at our warehouse and only deliver by courier.
WE’RE HERE TO KEEP THE SCAMMERS SKINNY
For too long, the scammers have been making millions every year, preying on buyers on the various classified sites.
Our Technical Team
Our Admin Team
THE EPIC TEAM
Wesley
CEO
Wes leads the squad in a truly Epic way—balancing high-level strategy with the kind of genuine warmth that makes everyone feel like they’re part of the inner circle. He’s mastered the art of demanding 110% effort while somehow making you feel like you’re just hanging out with a mate. Driven, creative, and fueled by a scary amount of enthusiasm, Wesley isn’t just running the show; he’s the guy making sure the show is worth watching.
Wessel
Tech Manager
Wessel knows where everything is, even that one weird part nobody’s seen since 2022. He runs the stockroom like a vault, with laser focus and just enough sarcasm to keep things interesting. Whether it’s counting, tracking, or magically finding the unfindable, Wessel keeps it all under control… and somehow still finds time to remind us not to “just take things without logging them.”
Jarred
Procurement Manager
Jarred has a black belt in bargaining and once negotiated a coffee supplier down to throwing in free mugs and emotional support.He can sniff out a bulk discount from 100 yards and still somehow ends up with more pens than anyone asked for. We don’t know how he does it, we just know we can’t afford to lose him
Armandt
Head of Finance
Armandt might come off quiet, and yes, occasionally gives off “I will flip this calculator” energy, but beneath that steely exterior is a heart of gold (and a surprising love for poems and anime). He keeps the numbers sharp, the budgets tighter than a Naruto headband, and somehow still finds time to quote Shakespeare and Studio Ghibli. Just don’t mess up your expense report… he will notice.
Nico
Head of Sales
Nico somehow balances keeping the office running and keeping everyone laughing. One minute, he’s chasing down missing forms, the next he’s roasting someone’s printer skills with Olympic-level sarcasm. He’s the reason the admin side runs smoothly and the reason no one dares leave their lunch unattended.
Veronica
Head of Salvage
Veronica wrangles the wild world of insurance recoveries like a pro. She turns written-off chaos into organised opportunity and somehow manages to make “damaged goods” sound like a business plan. Leading her team with sharp instincts and sharper wit, she’s the reason broken things find new purpose and why no one argues with her about cellular usage.
Dewald
Stockroom Specialist
Dewalt runs the inventory like a high-security vault, with a sharp eye for detail and just enough sarcasm to keep us on our toes. From tracking down parts lost since 2022 to “magically” finding the unfindable, he keeps the chaos under control.
Just a fair warning: he will catch you if you don’t log your parts.
Darrien
Head of Advanced Repairs
Darrien is the guy you call when things get weird, wires get crossed, or no one else knows what that blinking light means. With a toolbox full of skills, a serious microscope, and a brain that runs faster than most processors, he’s the calm in the tech storm. He’s seen it all, fixed most of it, and still manages to crack a very dry joke while doing it.
Tinisha
Product Listing & QC
Tinisha has the uncanny ability to turn even the most random item into something you’d suddenly want to buy. She’s got an eye for detail, a nose for a good description, and a sixth sense for what sells. From specs to spelling, nothing slips past her, except maybe the occasional sigh when someone sends her blurry photos again.
Kamo
Customer Success Specialist
Kamo has the charm to sell sand in a desert and the patience of a saint—especially on Monday mornings. He does it all with a smile, a smooth comeback, and just enough sass to keep things fun.
He’s focused on making the buying experience something to remember for all our valued customers.
MIGUEL
Procurement
Miguel is always on the hunt for the best deals and the best snacks in the office. He’s quick on the emails, quicker on the quotes, and slowly mastering the ancient art of customer follow-ups. With a sharp eye and a good attitude, Miguel’s proving that procurement power doesn’t always come with a senior title; sometimes it comes with hustle and a killer hoodie.
DWAYNE
Procurement Technician
Dwayne is the guy who gets handed the weird, the broken, and the “I swear it worked yesterday” items and somehow makes sense of it all. He’s got a steady hand, a good heart, and just enough sarcasm to survive the daily chaos. Whether it’s testing, fixing, or just figuring out what on earth he’s looking at, Dwayne gets it done, with a grin and maybe a muttered: “Not again.”
Martin
Technician
Martin runs on precision, pride, and possibly caffeine. He pumps out jobs like a well-oiled machine and treats every repair like it’s a personal challenge. Fast, focused, and quietly competitive, Martin doesn’t just aim to get it done, he aims to get it done right. If excellence had a checklist, he’s already ticked every box… twice.
Odirile
Technician
Odirile thrives on hitting targets and keeping the work flowing. He’s all about efficiency, precision, and letting the numbers speak for themselves, because he sure won’t (unless it’s with a perfectly dry one-liner that catches everyone off guard). Calm, consistent, and low-key hilarious, Odirile is proof that you don’t need to be loud to make a big impact.
Ruan
Technician
Ruan might look like Krillin from Dragon Ball Z, but don’t let the resemblance fool you, he’s got his own kind of power level. Calm, focused, and always ready with a solution (or a perfectly timed joke), Ruan tackles tech troubles like a pro. Whether he’s fixing something complicated or just casually saving the day, he does it with the quiet confidence of a guy who’s seen it all, and probably has a Dragon Ball reference ready for it.
Jean
Technician
Juan treats every machine like it’s about to enter a tournament. Whether it’s a sluggish system or a full-blown meltdown, he’s got the skills to bring it back to life, and maybe even make it run better than new. Sure, he specialises in high-performance rigs, but truth is, there’s not much Juan can’t fix. Just don’t challenge him in a game unless you’re ready to lose with dignity.
Etienne
Technician
Etienne brings good vibes and solid skills wherever he goes. He knows his stuff, gets the job done, and somehow manages to make every console he services feel like it’s going on vacation. Whether it’s fixing hardware or cracking a smile, Etienne’s the kind of guy who reminds you that work can be done well and enjoyed, especially if it involves a PlayStation.
Lindy
Dispatch Coordinator
Lindy runs the packing area like a Tetris champion on a caffeine buzz. Nothing leaves without her say-so, and every item is boxed, labeled, and listed with military precision, plus a touch of sass. She keeps the chaos under control with sharp eyes, sharper humor, and the uncanny ability to spot a crooked label from across the room.
Patricia
Data Integrity Specialist
Patricia has the patience of a saint and the skills to match. She helps clients navigate the world of passcodes and iCloud locks like a digital locksmith—with a smile and just the right amount of “don’t worry, I’ve got this.” Whether it’s solving tricky issues or calming down frustrated customers, Patricia keeps her cool and delivers the kind of support that makes people believe in tech magic again.
Arya
Trust Specialist
Arya is our resident tech-listing genius, part strategist, part stand-up comic. She’s the one turning specs into scroll-stopping listings, making every product shine on our site. Armed with a sharp wit and a dangerously fast keyboard, she makes tech sound exciting, all while staying three steps ahead of the launch calendar.
Tanya
Sale Guru
Tanya is the perfect blend of heart and hustle. She approaches every deal with genuine kindness, but don’t let the soft-hearted nature fool you; she is an absolute sales machine. Whether she’s building relationships or closing targets, Tanya connects with people effortlessly and gets results every single time.
