What we buy
If it was installed in a rack, there’s a good chance we’ll make an offer on it. We buy current-generation hardware, kit that’s several refreshes behind, and equipment that no longer powers on.

Condition
Working, faulty, or dead — send it all
You don’t need to test, sort or grade anything before we look at it. Tell us roughly what condition it’s in and we’ll price accordingly. Guessing conservatively costs you money; being straight with us doesn’t.
- Fully working, in service until last week — the top of the market, priced on current trade values.
- Untested or unknown — we test on goods-in and price on the audited result. Most kit lands better than customers expect.
- Known faulty — still worth real money for parts, especially servers, controllers and GPUs.
- End of life, no resale value — recovered for materials under our T11 exemption. We’ll tell you when this is the case.
