How can I protect my IT equipment in transit?

Standard packing materials is simply not sufficient to protect your IT assets during the shipping process. We are happy to provide shipping materials for your IT assets and shipping insurance free of charge.

A good rule of thumb is to leave no wiggle room for any parts whatsoever. CPU and RAM trays should be taped together, servers should be packed in form fitting polyurethane foam, and GPUs should have custom foam boxes. For more information consult our IT packing instructions page.

How to Sell Computers

In the modern data center, technology advances at breakneck speed. Because of such rapid advances, when and how to sell old computers, servers, CPUs becomes more and more complicated.

The good news is that for every data center that removes a server from active use to replace it with a newer model, there are hundreds of other businesses for whom that retired server might be a perfect fit.

In general here are some tips on how to sell your old computers:

• Selling in bulk is optimal
• Break retired hardware down to its base components to sell individually
• Use an e-waste recycler: recondition parts and extract the precious metals used (plus guarantee data destruction)
• Sell enterprise-grade switches, routers, firewalls, and management engines

Where to Sell Computers

All IT resources should be seen as a corporate asset, even when they are planned to be replaced with something bigger, faster, and newer. Selling used computers can offer a valuable revenue source, as long as the company chooses the most effective method for completing the transaction.

Where a company chooses to sell used computers is just as important.

A few selling options can include:

• Local buyers – Depending on the region and willingness to possibly sell to competitors, companies can reach out to supply chain and purchasing vendors directly. And no third party means the possibility of more profit.
• Online auctions – Using eBay or something similar, companies can set their price, break auctions down individually by product or type, and watch as bidders drive profits. This can be risky depending on market demand.
• Utilize trusted technology liquidators – exIT Technologies is an example of one of these firms, as we specialize in the sale and re-purposing of a wide range of IT resources.

Where to sell used IT equipment

Where to sell used IT equipment really depends on exactly how much IT equipment and what type of IT equipment.
