COMMON TRIGGERS

Why surplus shows up.

  • 01Lease end or facility consolidation
  • 02Cloud migration (AWS, Azure, GCP) reducing on-prem footprint
  • 03Hyperscaler refresh cycles (generational hardware turnover)
  • 04Bankruptcy, M&A, or business unit divestiture
  • 05Capacity rationalization after virtualization or workload migration
  • 06Datacenter relocation, colo exit, or provider consolidation

WHAT WE DO NOT BUY

Honest limits.

We are upfront about what falls outside our buyback. Knowing this in advance saves everyone time.

  • Equipment without serial numbers or asset tags
  • Sub-1U gear in unknown working condition (we may route to recycling partners)
  • Equipment under active OEM lease or financing without payoff documentation
  • Hardware older than ~10 years unless specifically requested by a buyer

HOW IT WORKS

From inventory list to payment.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you have

    Submit the form below. Upload an inventory list, share photos, or just describe what you have. Single items and full facility decommissions both welcome.

  2. 02

    We review and quote

    Our team reviews the equipment against current market comps. Most quotes come back within 48 hours. We will tell you what we can buy, what we cannot, and why.

  3. 03

    We confirm logistics

    Once you accept the quote, we coordinate pickup, packaging, and data sanitization if applicable. We work with your facilities and IT teams directly.

  4. 04

    We take it in

    Equipment moves through documented chain of custody from your dock to ours. Serial numbers are reconciled at pickup and again at intake.

  5. 05

    You get paid

    Payment terms are Net 7 on standard deals, Net 30 by arrangement. Certificates of Destruction and Recycling are issued when applicable.

For this category

  • Data sanitization follows NIST 800-88 standards. On-site wipe or off-site destruction available; per-drive Certificates of Destruction issued.
  • Chain of custody includes serial-number reconciliation at pickup, in transit, and at intake.
  • Pickup coordination assumes forklift-accessible loading dock. We work with your facilities and IT teams directly.
  • For full facility decommissions, we coordinate with electrical, structured cabling, and freight in a single project timeline.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions we hear often.

We follow NIST 800-88 Purge guidelines. HDDs are typically wiped using a multi-pass overwrite or degaussed; SSDs are wiped using the manufacturer secure erase command or physically destroyed via shredding. You can choose on-site sanitization before transport or off-site at our intake. Per-drive Certificates of Destruction are issued with serial numbers documented.
Yes. Live decommissioning is common during phased migrations. We coordinate with your IT team to power down only the units being pulled, label cables before disconnection, and work in shifts that fit your change-management windows. For production-adjacent work we recommend a walkthrough before scheduling.
Yes. Certificates of Destruction are issued per drive for any data-bearing media, with serial numbers and destruction method documented. Certificates of Recycling are issued by our R2-certified recycling partners for any equipment routed to disposal rather than resale.
Active warranty does not block resale — most enterprise hardware has transferable support contracts. We document the warranty status in the bill of sale and notify the buyer. For equipment under active OEM lease, we need the lease payoff or transfer documentation before purchase.
For pre-pulled equipment on pallets: typically 5–10 business days from quote acceptance to pickup. For live decommissions: 2–6 weeks depending on scope, change-management requirements, and crew scheduling. Emergency decommissions (lease cliff, bankruptcy) can sometimes move faster — tell us your timeline up front.
Each unit is priced individually based on current market demand, age, condition, and completeness (rails, caddies, modules, optics). Newer flagship hardware (current-gen GPUs, late-model storage) carries premium pricing. Older hardware is priced based on parts demand or sold as a lot. We share the per-unit breakdown on request.
Both. A single server is welcome; a 50,000 sqft facility decommission is welcome. The economics differ — small lots may carry pickup costs against the quote, while large jobs typically include pickup in the offer.
