A List of Businesses Who Buy Used IT Assets

Are you thinking about selling your used IT assets, if you are, you might find this brief guide to companies that buy IT assets helpful? Let’s start by quickly defining what IT assets are and how much money used IT hardware can sell for. A used IT asset, can be defined simply as, a previously owned item of IT hardware, that if sold can generate a reasonable monetary return.

“We Buy Used Data Center & Office Computer IT Hardware”

Typical IT assets include computing items like; tower and rack servers, network hardware such as switches, hubs and routers. Other typical IT assets include; desktop and laptop computers and other mobile devices, such as pads and smartphones. Less typical IT assets, include specialized equipment, for example; rack mounted data storage arrays and drive systems, node servers, GPU servers, HPE servers & blade servers.

A blade server for example, is a stripped-down server computer designed to minimize space and energy requirements. Some Hyperscale data centers will use blade servers, mainly to save space and reduce their electricity consumption. Talking about Hyperscale data centers leads us on to the type of companies that tend to buy used IT assets. As a rule of thumb, companies that buy used IT assets separate into 1 of 3 market sectors.

First up, is the reseller of refurbished household computers. These types of businesses usually buy privately owned personal computers and cell phones. Our ITAD company does not purchase used, privately owned, pcs, laptops and pc tablets.

Second, are computer recyclers, a typical computer recycling business will tend to charge you for removal, hard drive shredding, de-manufacturing and the recycling of large numbers of obsolete business computers, old screens and used company laptops.

The third type of business willing to buy used IT assets, is perhaps more commonly known as an ITAD company. ITAD, stands for I.T. asset disposition, and implies a legal, ethical and environmentally responsible means of computer disposal.

It’s perhaps fair to say, most ITAD companies will exclusively recycle, and buy IT assets belonging to businesses and organizations only. Our ITAD company for example; will remove, recycle, and buy used IT assets from businesses, data centers, governmental and military agencies. In fact, our ITAD company buys tens of thousands of rack mountable servers, networking equipment and storage systems from every scale and type of data center. We also buy every make and model of used business pcs, laptops and mobile devices.
