Jimmy Vosika founded ShopJimmy.com out of his garage, selling reclaimed flatscreen TVs on eBay. After discovering the value of the parts inside those TVs, Jimmy quickly adapted the business to sell TV parts on eBay. He soon migrated the business to its own site, ShopJimmy.com, and created a TV teardown system to harvest TV parts more efficiently and reduce electronics waste (e-waste) by recycling almost 100% of each TV.^[4] In 2010, Jimmy nabbed Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award (Upper Midwest, Distribution).^[5]

In August 2012, ShopJimmy acquired Illinois-based competitor Discount TV Parts. Similarly, in January 2013, ShopJimmy acquired Minnesota-based Ness Electronics, a long-time distributor of DLP lamps, TV parts and components, and CE products.
