Getting the most value when you remarket used IT equipment

Used technology is a commodity priced by supply and demand, and it depreciates faster than most other assets. Equipment sitting in a storage room loses value every month — and costs you storage fees.

Servers and storage with their drives, rails, power supplies and licenses intact are worth more than stripped units. If drives must be destroyed for security, tell your buyer up front so the offer reflects it.

Exact model numbers and configurations let a buyer price confidently. Vague lists lead to conservative offers.

Larger lots reduce per-unit logistics costs and often earn a better overall return. Even equipment with no resale value can be recycled responsibly in the same pickup.
