- Network cards, switches and transceivers
Sell your servers instead of scrapping them
When hardware is decommissioned, selling used servers almost always beats scrapping them: at the end of a lease, during a move to the cloud or when you switch platforms. What's written off in your books still has years of service ahead for other businesses, resellers and labs. Instead of paying for disposal you receive money, and the equipment stays in use rather than ending up as e-waste. Reuse is also the most effective form of recycling: a server that keeps running replaces a new purchase whose manufacture costs energy and raw materials.
What determines the buyback price
In a hardware buyback, the same factors count that the next buyer will look at. The more precise your details, the more precise our quote.
| Factor | What matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Generation | The newer the platform, the higher the value. The processor generation counts, not the purchase date. | A Dell R740 (14G) fetches more than an R730 (13G). |
| Configuration | Processors, memory, SSDs, GPUs and network cards often account for more of the value than the chassis. | 2× Xeon Gold with 384 GB RAM rather than a base build |
| Quantity | We price batches of identical systems differently from single units, so give the quantity per configuration. | ten identical nodes from one cluster |
| Condition | Function, cosmetic state and known faults. Entries from the hardware log help us assess it. | error messages from iDRAC or iLO |
| Completeness | Rails, drive caddies, blanks, risers and redundant power supplies are part of the package. Missing parts reduce the value. | server with rails and all caddies |
Selling hardware: what to put in your list
For a binding quote we don't need an inventory down to the last screw, but we do need these details per line:
- Manufacturer and model, for servers with form factor and bay count, such as “Dell R740xd 24× SFF” or “HPE DL380 Gen10 8× SFF”
- Serial numbers or service tags, where available
- Processors: model and count, such as 2× Xeon Gold 6230
- Memory: module size, type and count, such as 12× 32 GB DDR4-2933 RDIMM
- Drives: type, capacity and count, such as 8× 1.92 TB SAS SSD, plus RAID controllers and network cards
- Quantity, condition and location for the logistics
Selling GPUs
For data-centre and workstation GPUs, give the model, memory size, form factor and quantity, such as “4× A100 80 GB PCIe”. If the cards are still in servers, name the server model too. The cards we sell ourselves are listed under server GPUs.
IT hardware buyback: erase your data first
In any IT hardware buyback, your data protection officer's first question is about the data. So erase every drive before the hardware leaves your premises, or remove the drives and keep them. A recognised benchmark is NIST 800-88, the US standards institute's guideline on sanitising storage media. It matches methods to each media type – overwriting for hard drives, for example, and the drive's built-in sanitise commands for SSDs, because plain overwriting doesn't reach every cell in flash memory.
Record the erasure yourself for auditors and your GDPR documentation. We cannot accept responsibility for data left on devices you send in. Drives that can no longer be wiped are best removed and marked as missing in your list.
Pickup, shipping and payment
From one pallet upwards we collect the hardware from you. Smaller amounts and single components ship insured with our label. Where possible, pack servers in their original boxes or secured on a pallet, and components such as memory, processors and SSDs in anti-static packaging. Once everything arrives, we check each line against your list and pay within five business days.
If new hardware is due at the same time, we credit the buyback value against your order – terms for businesses are on our business customers page. You can put together replacements in the configurator.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most often.
Question not listed?
Do you buy faulty hardware?
Yes, at an adjusted price. Please mention known defects in your list.
What happens to the data on the drives?
Please erase all drives before you hand over or ship the hardware, or remove the drives. We cannot accept responsibility for data left on the devices.
Is there a minimum quantity?
No. Single components you ship yourself; from one pallet we collect free of charge.
Can you offset the value against a new purchase?
Yes. When you upgrade to newer systems we credit the buyback value directly against your order.
