The office move
Everything in the comms room has to be gone by the end of the month. Two or three servers, a switch, a UPS and a rack nobody wants to carry down the stairs.
Three servers, an old switch, a box of drives and some memory nobody can identify. Most buyers will not quote on that. We will — and we pay the shipping either way.
None of these are big enough for most buyers to answer the phone for. All of them are normal here.
Everything in the comms room has to be gone by the end of the month. Two or three servers, a switch, a UPS and a rack nobody wants to carry down the stairs.
Workloads moved, the hardware did not. A handful of boxes sitting idle in a rack that is still costing you space and power.
Kit pulled out over three years by four different people, stacked on a pallet. Nobody knows exactly what is in the pile.
You are decommissioning on behalf of a client and want the hardware handled cleanly and quickly, with a number you can show them.
A university department or training lab refresh. Older kit, often well looked after, frequently worth more than expected.
One server. One. Still a real order — it ships on a prepaid label and gets the same written offer as a forty-unit lot.
Deliberately light on your side. The whole point is that a small job should not turn into a project.
Front of each box, or a list if you already have one. Two minutes on your phone is plenty.
Written, broken out per item, within one business day. Including anything we cannot offer on, and why.
Prepaid and to your door. Box it, hand it over. Bigger lots get freight we arrange instead.
ACH once it is checked in against the agreed list. Usually the same day it lands.
The most common reason a cleanout never happens is that nobody wants to be the person who has to identify it all. So do not.
A clear photo of the front of each machine tells us the model. That is genuinely all we need to start — the label is right there on the bezel or the pull-tab.
"About twenty drives" is a fine starting point. We count properly at check-in and the offer follows the real number, not your estimate.
Separating servers from drives from memory is our job, not yours. Sorting it costs you an afternoon and occasionally splits things that were worth more together.
Rails, caddies, power cords, bezels, loose optics. They look like packaging during a clear-out. They are worth money.
Rack UPSs, PDUs, KVMs, tape units, a rack nobody can shift. Mention it — some of it we buy, some we do not, and we will say which plainly.
Most of our competitors have a minimum order value, and a small cleanout does not clear it. That is a rational business decision on their part and it leaves a lot of people with no straight answer.
We built the process so a small lot costs us almost nothing to handle — you photograph it, we price it, a label arrives. That is why we can say yes to three servers and a box of RAM.
Not sure it is worth asking? Read what your options actually are first.
Yes. There is no minimum here, and small lots are a deliberate part of what we do rather than something we tolerate. Three servers and a switch ships on a prepaid label we email you.
That is completely normal and not a problem. Photograph the front of each box — the model is printed on it — and attach the photos to the form. We will identify it and price it from there.
Tell us which is which, or just say you are not sure. We only buy hardware that was working when it came out of service, so we will separate the list into what we can offer on and what we cannot, and we will be straight with you about both.
That is a very typical cleanout and exactly what this page is for. List it all in one go; we price each category properly rather than lumping it into one number for the pile.
No. We buy from single-site businesses, schools, labs, MSPs clearing a client site, and IT managers who have simply run out of storeroom. The process does not change with the size of the seller.
For a small lot, you box it and hand it to the carrier on our label. For anything on pallets we arrange the freight, and in selected metros we come and de-rack it ourselves.
Then we will tell you that plainly and in writing, and you have lost nothing but one email. We would rather say so than take up your afternoon or ours.
ACH once the shipment is checked in against the agreed list, typically the same business day it lands. Wire on request. We don't pay cash, and ID is required prior to payment.
Send photos or a rough list — any quantity, anywhere in the USA. Written offer back within one business day.
