Data Center Equipment Buyback

We buy the equipment that typically comes out of a refresh, consolidation or site closure. Offers depend on age, configuration, condition and current resale demand, and not every item will have buyback value. We tell you which ones do before you commit to anything.

You choose how to be paid. Take the value as cash, or apply it as a credit that reduces what you pay for the relocation. Either way, equipment that was a disposal problem becomes money back in your budget.

Credit is often the simpler route when the move and the refresh happen together, because the value of the old equipment offsets the cost of moving the equipment you keep.

Send us a list of what you are retiring: make, model, configuration, quantity and condition. Photos help us price it accurately. We review the list and send an offer, so you see what each item is worth before you decide. When you accept, you pick cash or credit, and we collect the equipment with the move.

Because buyback is part of the relocation project, there is no separate pickup to schedule and no second vendor to coordinate.

Every item you move costs money: planning time, de-install, packing, crating, truck space and, for international moves, freight and customs paperwork. Equipment that is past its useful life still incurs all of those costs if it travels with the rest of your estate, and it then has to be disposed of at the other end.

Selling it first removes those costs from the project and puts the proceeds back toward the move. A smaller move is also a simpler move, with fewer assets to inventory, fewer crates to build and less to verify at the destination.

Buyback equipment is inventoried and labeled like everything else that leaves your site. It is logged at pickup and tracked through handoff, so your records show where each asset went. The equipment you keep is anti-static packed, crated where needed and moved on air-ride trucks under the same sealed chain of custody.

Retired servers and storage often still hold drives. Before any buyback equipment leaves your building, we agree with you on how data-bearing drives will be handled under your security policy, and that agreement is written into the runbook.

ITAD, or IT asset disposition, is the process of retiring IT equipment in a controlled way: inventory, data handling, resale or recycling, and records. Our buyback program covers the resale part of ITAD for data center equipment, and for items with no resale value we arrange IT asset recycling so nothing is left behind in the room. For a full teardown project, see our data center decommissioning services. If you are an ITAD company, recycler or reseller shipping pallets of used equipment, see our salvage and used IT equipment hauling.

If you are comparing ITAD providers, ask how they record data-bearing devices, what you receive at the end and whether the resale value comes back to you. In our program it does: you choose cash or a credit toward your move. Data center disposal is easier to defend to an auditor when the paper trail is part of the plan from the start.

We scope the buyback and the relocation together. First we review the equipment you plan to retire and send an offer. Then we plan the move around the equipment you are keeping, with the retired equipment collected on the same schedule. The written scope shows both sides, so you can see the value of the buyback next to the cost of the move.

The offer is based on what you send us and on condition, configuration and resale demand. If the equipment arrives in a different condition from the list, we tell you before the offer is adjusted.

The more detail you can provide, the closer the first offer will be to the final one.

Buyback works with relocations across the 48 contiguous states and international moves to Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. Selling what you do not need before an international shipment also shrinks the freight, crating and customs paperwork you pay for.
