Why the next six to eight weeks matter
The timing behind a strong Q4 bid
Retired IT loses value every quarter it sits on the floor. Three reasons the window between now and fiscal year-end usually gets the strongest bid of the cycle.
01
Capex clearance
Decommissioning the current generation before year-end frees next cycle's budget and keeps depreciated hardware off the asset register for the coming reporting period.
Budget cycle02
Clean books
Enterprise finance teams prefer retired IT to leave the balance sheet in the same reporting period as the refresh purchase. The cleaner the cut-off, the simpler the audit position.
Audit posture03
Market timing
The first eight to ten weeks of the new year typically see early sellers clearing inventory, which softens the clearing price for anyone who waits. Indicative; pattern reported per engagement.
Secondary market
Year-end window is open now.
Send the list this week to get an indicative in 1–2 working days and a firm offer inside a week.

Situations we buy from
Seven engagements that make up the bulk of what we quote
If your situation matches one of these, we've seen it dozens of times. Send the asset list and the context — we move faster when we know which lane you're in.
Data-centre exit & closure
Full on-prem DC decommission after an exit decision — rack-level teardown, asset tag reconciliation, chain-of-custody-logged removal, drive sanitisation, floor-space handover.
DC EXIT · FACILITY CLOSURE · HANDOVER
Hardware refresh programme
Rolling fleet refresh that drops the outgoing generation onto the floor. We quote the retiring estate against incoming-generation purchase cycles so capex is offset in the same fiscal window.
REFRESH · CAPEX OFFSET · TRADE-IN
Post-cloud-migration tail
Workload moved to AWS, Azure or GCP — the on-prem estate still sits there carrying depreciation. Recent-generation servers, GPUs, storage and networking recover meaningful residual value if disposed within six to twelve months.
CLOUD MIGRATION · AWS · AZURE · GCP
M&A IT consolidation
Post-merger integration or divestiture separation. Duplicate infrastructure across two estates collapses into one; the surplus becomes the lot. We handle multi-site pickup and reconciled chain-of-custody across the combined footprint.
M&A · DIVESTITURE · INTEGRATION
Colocation exit
Lease-end at a colo facility or a move from Equinix / Digital Realty / NTT / ST Telemedia / Yondr to a different provider or back on-prem. Pick-up before the SLA deadline avoids holdover fees.
COLO EXIT · PROVIDER MOVE · LEASE-END
Leased server return
Operating-lease or finance-lease exit. We quote against your return-condition requirements, handle de-identification and data sanitisation, and settle before the asset reverts to the lessor.
LEASE RETURN · OPERATING LEASE · FINANCE LEASE
Surplus & overstock
Unused inventory sitting on the shelf — ordered-but-never-deployed, project cancellation surplus, excess spares, vendor-managed inventory rolloff. Boxed or unopened units typically price at the top of the condition band.
SURPLUS · OVERSTOCK · NEW-OLD-STOCK
Branch-office & lab teardown
Satellite-office IT consolidation, lab shutdown, or failed-project surplus. Smaller per-site volume than a full DC exit, but typically repeated across multiple locations — we schedule combined pickup across the footprint.
BRANCH · LAB · MULTI-SITE
AI / GPU cluster retirement
Cluster retired after a model-training run, test-bed teardown, or capacity migration to current-generation accelerators. We quote per-card and whole-system — recent-generation AI hardware (H100, H200, A100, L40S, MI300X) typically carries the highest residual value on the decommission.
AI CLUSTER · GPU · ACCELERATOR
Something else?
Branch-office consolidation, lab teardown, failed-project surplus, bankruptcy liquidation, insurance write-off recovery — all quotable. Send the context and the list.

Not on this list?
Send it anyway. Recent chassis, specialised appliances, legacy gear — we've handled most enterprise classes over the years.
Model or asset class not on the list?
Send it anyway. Most enterprise classes are quotable, and we flag the ones that aren't honestly.
Any lot size — we flex to the engagement.
Single rack or a full data-centre exit. Send the list and we'll tell you honestly whether it's in scope.
How a deal runs
Six steps. No surprises in the middle.
1
You send the list
A spreadsheet works best — make, model, quantity, condition, and configuration where known. Photographs or asset-management exports also work.
Day 0
2
Indicative range
First-look indicative range inside one to two working days. The range reflects the configuration detail provided; more detail narrows the range.
Day 1–2
3
Firm offer on inspection
For lots where configuration detail is incomplete, a short physical inspection or a sample-inspection call converts the indicative range to a firm bid. Held for seven days.
Day 3–7
4
Terms signed
Pickup date, documentation list, payment method and timing all set in the signed offer before anything moves.
Pre-pickup
5
Pickup
Scheduled per engagement. Local team on-site. Chain-of-custody manifest signed at every transfer.
Day 5–14
6
Settlement & documentation
Payment per agreed terms. Per-drive Certificate of Sanitisation for every data-bearing device. Chain-of-custody manifest closed.
Post-pickup
Ready to start Day 0?
Day 0 is the day you send the list. Everything else runs from there — indicative in 1–2 days, firm offer in 5–7.
C✓
Documentation
Compliance standards met wherever necessary
Two deliverables, standard on every engagement. Anything beyond — discussed per engagement.
Drive sanitisation
Aligned to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Purge. Per-drive Certificate of Sanitisation issued for every data-bearing device in the lot.
Chain-of-custody
Manifest signed at each physical transfer — from source facility to pickup vehicle to processing site. Closed at settlement with reconciliation summary.

What raises your offer
Simple detail work on your side moves the bid materially
+
Clear asset list
Make, model, exact SKU where possible, quantity, condition band. Serials on high-value items.
+
Server configuration detail
CPU model, RAM total, drive count & size, presence of GPUs, RAID / HBA / NIC cards.
+
Working status flagged honestly
Working · untested · for-parts. For-parts still have component value — include them.
+
Rails, caddies, bezels, PSUs
Small parts that add meaningful value. Missing them doesn't kill the offer. Including them lifts it.
+
Warranty & licence status noted
iDRAC Enterprise, iLO Advanced, DNA licences, FortiCare, transferable OEM warranty — all real value lines.
+
Group the whole lot
Single engagement across the full decommission typically prices better than piecemeal sales.

Frequently asked
What enterprise sellers usually ask us first
Do you take title or broker the sale?
We take title in the signed offer. The firm bid is a commitment — not a listing — and the asset is ours from the point of pickup. You get a single counterparty, not a chain of brokers.
What's the minimum lot size for international pickup?
There is no fixed floor. Full data-centre decommissions, single-rack exits, and small lots of three to five recent-generation enterprise units are all in scope. If the lot is below a reasonable logistics floor we say so before you commit time to a list.
How fast is the indicative response?
One to two working days from receipt of the asset list. The firm offer on inspection — or on sample-inspection — typically follows within five to seven working days from the indicative.
Who handles pickup logistics?
We do, from the facility where the gear sits. Scheduling is agreed in the signed offer along with payment terms. The local team manages the on-site transfer and the chain-of-custody manifest.
What documentation do we receive?
Per-drive Certificate of Sanitisation for every data-bearing device, chain-of-custody manifest signed at each transfer, and an engagement summary on request. Documentation format is matched to the jurisdiction and, where applicable, to the sector regulator in your market.
Do you buy for-parts or non-working units?
Yes. For-parts units still have component value — CPUs, DIMMs, drives, RAID cards, HBAs, PSUs, backplanes, rails. Include them in the lot rather than sending them to shred; the delta on component recovery is usually meaningful.
Do you handle warranty-active equipment differently?
Transferable OEM warranty and active support contracts can raise the bid. Flag them on the list — model, warranty end date, and whether the support contract transfers. Non-transferable warranty is neutral; it doesn't reduce the offer.
What about licences, firmware, and management controllers?
Note iDRAC Enterprise, iLO Advanced / Scale-Out, HPE SmartStorage, Cisco DNA Essentials / Advantage, FortiCare, and comparable licences on your list. These are real value lines on the firm bid.
Can we get a reference from a prior customer in our region?
On request, with written consent from the referenced customer and under NDA. Reference work takes a few working days to coordinate, so please flag it early if it matters to the procurement review.
What happens if inspection reveals materially different condition?
The firm offer is calibrated to actual condition. If inspection reveals materially better configuration than the list suggested, the firm bid moves up. If weaker, we explain the delta and you decide whether to proceed at the revised firm number or walk — no cost.
Ready to send the list?
