  • 03End-of-support or end-of-life cliff (firmware, security patches)
  • 04Branch network consolidation or office closure
  • 05Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 upgrade cycle
  • 06Merger or acquisition consolidating duplicate network stacks

WHAT WE DO NOT BUY

Honest limits.

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

  • Consumer-grade routers and switches (Linksys, Netgear home gear)
  • Equipment with custom firmware that cannot be reset to vendor defaults
  • Locked equipment where licensing cannot be transferred (we will tell you which)
  • Counterfeit or unverifiable units — we check serials against vendor databases

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

  • Configuration wipe to factory defaults is performed before resale; documentation provided.
  • Licensing transfer paths are verified before purchase. Smart Licensing accounts must be released by the seller.
  • For Cisco gear, we verify serial numbers against the Cisco database to confirm authenticity.
  • Stack modules, power supplies, rails, and rack-mount kits add value — include them in the listing.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions we hear often.

SMARTnet contracts are tied to the original purchaser and cannot transfer with resale; they expire at the existing term. For Smart Licensing accounts (DNA Center, Catalyst, Meraki), the seller must release the licenses from their account before we resell. We document this in the bill of sale and confirm the release before payment.
Meraki hardware is dependent on cloud licensing. We buy Meraki gear, but the price reflects that the new owner must purchase fresh licensing to activate it. Sellers should release the equipment from their Meraki dashboard before pickup.
We check serial numbers against Cisco databases and inspect units physically for tampering, counterfeit indicators, and consistent labeling. Any unit failing verification is removed from the lot and disclosed.
Current-generation hardware (Catalyst 9k, Nexus 9k, modern PA-series firewalls) typically commands 30–60% of original purchase price depending on condition. End-of-life hardware drops sharply — often 5–15% — because of firmware and security patch limits. End-of-support is the cliff where value falls fastest.
Both. Optics, line cards, and stack modules carry meaningful value individually — sometimes more per unit than the chassis. Bundle them with the parent unit when possible, but standalone lots are welcome.
Yes. For multi-site branch network teardowns we coordinate freight from each site to a central intake, or to a designated buyer location if specified. Pricing factors in the multi-site logistics.
A list of model numbers and quantities is enough to start. For final purchase we need serial numbers (or we collect them at pickup), confirmation that licensing is released (where applicable), and a signed bill of sale.
