Best Opportunity to Sell & Buy Used Dell or IBM Servers

If you want to sell used IBM servers or buy used Dell servers, the place to turn is an IT asset disposition firm. An IT asset disposition firm, otherwise known as an ITAD can help you with these types of needs, as well as any type of IT used asset sale or purchase.

If you have a need to sell used IBM servers because you already upgraded your servers and have been storing the servers, take a glance to see if there are any other IT assets that may be collecting dust that you would like to sell! The truth is, if you do have assets just sitting there, they are depreciating in value, so it’s best to check with an ITAD to see what their value may be.

On the other hand if you need to buy used Dell servers, certainly reach out to an ITAD. While many people think of an ITAD when it’s time to sell equipment, many times they do not think of an IT asset disposition firm when it’s time to buy used assets.

Whether you are buying or selling used IT assets from/to an ITAD it is always best to have several questions prepared when calling. By having a set of questions ready to go you will be able to determine from the onset if this is the type of firm you want to not only work with, but build a long-term relationship. One question you can ask in either case, whether buying or selling, is what is the company’s experience with the specific type of equipment? This is important because if the firm has experience then you know they will either be able to deliver a competitive quote for the merchandise if they are buying from you, or if they are sell used servers, then you know they are familiar with the product, have sold it before and so chances are they will be able to locate that type of equipment for you since history has proven that they can. Discuss customer service protocol with them – will you have one point person that you can contact when you need to talk about any issues that might arise? One other question may be the history of the company; if the firm has been in business a long time chances are likely they will still be in business if your transaction is going to be one, two or several months down the line!

Basically when you have a need to buy used IT assets, contact an ITAD. They will be able to help you purchase needed equipment, or help you with any type of liquidation.

Looking to Buy or Sell Used Servers ??

You have servers to sell or at the very least dispose of.  They are taking up valuable space in your storage area and you are never going to need them again.  You also realize that with each passing week and month that the servers are depreciating in value.  What you need is a firm that will buy used IBM servers. And that type of firm is known as an IT asset disposition firm.

An IT asset disposition firm may advertise in various ways saying phrases such as we buy used servers, we buy used IBM servers, we buy laptops, we buy PCs, we buy phone systems, we buy networking gear and the list goes on and on.  Basically an IT asset disposition firm, otherwise known as an ITAD, specializes in the purchase and sale of used IT equipment.

When looking for an ITAD to buy used IBM servers it may seem to make sense to find a firm that says we buy used servers. And while that does make sense there are several more tips to consider when choosing an ITAD.

  1. Look for a firm that will put everything in writing.  If they won’t that is a red flag.  What you don’t want on moving day is for there to be surprise charges.
  2. Look for a firm that has experience with the manufacturer of the product you are buying or selling.  The more experience a firm has with that specific manufacturer the more accurate the quote will be.
  3. Look for a firm, and this really goes without saying, that you feel confident will come through for you; one that you feel comfortable with.  Go with your gut feeling – isn’t it always right?!
  4. Look for a firm that is concerned with the environment and is happy to discuss their recycling practices.  When the IT assets leave your hands, yes it’s true that ultimately it is no longer your responsibility.  But a step you can take to make sure things are handled properly is to discuss recycling on your first call.  By doing this you will know whether your equipment will be handled in the proper way once the assets are sold to the ITAD.

When you have to sell used IBM servers, don’t just look for any old company that will buy used IBM servers or one that says we buy servers. Look for one that will put the agreement in writing, one that is experienced, one that you feel confident with, and one that cares about the environment. By following these tips you should have a very smooth transaction.
