How to Sell your Used IT Equipment and Maximise your Budget

Many of our clients are surprised to learn that IT refurbishment specialists like Techbuyer pay customers for their used IT equipment. This is a welcome alternative to paying somebody to take IT parts away, either to be recycled or sent to landfill. This is a win-win situation: maximising IT budgets, whilst reusing quality technology instead of sending it to landfill.

During my nine years at Techbuyer, I’ve worked with hundreds of organisations across the world, offering the best prices and maximising their IT budgets. In this blog, I take you through our simple Buy Back process, which is the best way to generate funds from any used or excess IT and data centre equipment. You can also watch our video below.

1)    Get in Touch

First thing’s first - tell us what you would like to sell. From used servers, hard drives and CPUs, to laptops, desktops and workstations, we buy over over 50,000 IT parts every month (over £2.5 million worth) from businesses like yours.

If you’ve bought from us before, we also buy back used Techbuyer equipment whenever you decide to move onto a different IT system.

2)    IT equipment evaluation

Next, we assess your IT equipment and generate a free quote within 24 hours.

3)    Collections

We can arrange a collection for your IT hardware. Once we’ve collected your devices, they are stored directly into our state-of-the-art engineering facility where only security vetted staff can enter.

4)    100% of data sanitised

Every single data bearing IT part that we buy is fully data erased, which ensures all company data is destroyed. With world leading software from Blancco and White Canyon, we sanitise 100% of data from over 10,000 hard drives every month and provide full certification throughout.

Data erasure is the most secure and environmentally friendly data destruction solution available in the market. For businesses that need it, we also offer a secure HDD and SSD shredding service.

5)    Fast payments

Finally, we always offer the best prices and provide payments no more than 2 weeks from delivery.

Once we have bought, fully tested and data erased used IT equipment, we refurbish it into quality refurbished IT solutions. This enables impressive cost savings for our clients whilst providing the same performance as new.


Our global team has over 15 years of experience in buying, refurbishing and selling IT equipment, whilst protecting company data at every stage.
