IT Equipment Buyback Service

The value depends on several factors: age (equipment <2 years old receives best prices), brand (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Cisco command higher values), specifications (higher RAM, processors, storage = better value), condition (fully working equipment in good cosmetic condition), market demand (current resale market for specific models), and quantity (bulk collections may qualify for better rates).

Note: These are indicative ranges only. Contact us for a specific valuation for your equipment.

We purchase a wide range of enterprise IT equipment including:

• Servers: Rack, blade, and tower servers from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Cisco, IBM
• Storage: SAN, NAS, DAS storage arrays
• Networking: Switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, wireless access points
• Laptops & Desktops: Business-grade computers with good specifications
• Monitors: LED and LCD displays
• Mobile Devices: Tablets, smartphones
• Printers: Enterprise multifunction devices

Generally, equipment should be less than 4 years old and in working condition to qualify for buyback. However, we can offer competitive prices for older or larger-volume equipment. See our full equipment list above for details.

Generally no for buyback–we purchase equipment that can be refurbished and resold. However, we still offer a FREE collection and recycling service for non-functional equipment.

Any residual value from components or materials offsets collection and recycling costs, ensuring you never pay for our services. This includes our 0% landfill guarantee, WEEE-compliant processing, and certificates of destruction.

Even if your equipment doesn’t qualify for cash buyback, you still benefit from professional, compliant disposal at no cost. Learn more about our computer recycling service.

The typical timeline for our IT equipment buyback service:

• Valuation: 24-48 hours after you contact us
• Collection: 3-10 days (depending on location and scheduling)
• Payment: Within 14 days of collection
• Total timeline: Typically 2-3 weeks from initial contact to payment

Urgent collections can be expedited. Major cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Liverpool often receive same-day or next-day service. Contact us to discuss your specific timeline requirements.

We base valuations on several objective factors:

• Current secondary market resale values: What similar equipment is selling for on IT remarketing markets
• Equipment age and condition: Newer equipment in better condition commands higher prices
• Brand and model demand: Enterprise brands like Dell, HP, Cisco, Lenovo typically have stronger resale markets
• Specifications: Higher RAM, faster processors, and larger storage increase value
• Quantity: Bulk collections (20+ units) may qualify for volume pricing
• Refurbishment costs: Labor and parts required to prepare equipment for resale

Our valuations are fair, transparent, and based on real market data–not arbitrary figures. We provide detailed breakdowns explaining how we arrived at each valuation.

Data security is our top priority. Before any equipment resale or recycling, all data storage devices undergo comprehensive destruction:

• -certified data erasure: Software-based secure erasure meeting industry standards
• Video-evidenced hard drive shredding: Physical destruction with video proof available
• Certificates of destruction: Detailed documentation listing serial numbers of all destroyed devices
• GDPR-compliant processes: Full compliance with UK data protection regulations
• ISO 27001 certified: Information security management system certification
• Chain of custody: Complete tracking from collection to destruction
