For Sale by Owner
You can always try selling your items on your own! There are numerous websites available, but bear in mind that you are solely liable for everything! You’ll need to list the machine, pay any associated account or marketing fees, answer incoming calls, and demonstrate it to potential purchasers. However, you have complete control over the final sale price this way.
Trading In
Are you looking to replace some of your too little equipment? Some machinery stores will gladly accept your old machine as a trade-in. This may help you save money on your new device, but you’ll have to accept the dealer’s claim of a reasonable trade-in value.
Trading In
If you’re lucky, you might be able to find a dealer who will sell your item on consignment. A contract will be drawn up, and the machinery dealer will be in charge of selling your machinery. The dealer, on the other hand, will try to sell their own goods over yours. That way, they won’t have to give up a portion of the income. This may cause your unit to take longer to sell.

If the assets aren’t resellable, you can get a scrap price or have to pay to have them recycled (such as in the case of broken monitors containing hazardous materials). Your assets are then refurbished for resale by the ITAD provider and brought to market.

What Is IT Asset Disposal and How Does It Work?
Absolute IT’s team of skilled data security engineers takes care of the entire disposal process for you, saving your team time and stress. But, how does IT asset disposal operate in practice? What steps do we follow in our facilities once your redundant assets have been collected?
The following is a summary of the steps we take while obtaining IT assets:
1) Collection at the customer’s location
The asset data for the item is recorded and stored into an asset database here, allowing each unit to be safely tracked.
2) Asset segregation
When the assets arrive at our facility, they are separated into data-bearing and non-data-bearing categories. After that, the units are safely held while their market value is determined.
3) Estimation of market value
After data has been erased, some assets under three years old can be renovated for resale. All assets are evaluated for this possibility before being assigned to scrap processing if there is no market value or equipment testing if refurbishment is a possibility.
4) Refurbishment assets
The first stage in equipment testing is determining whether or not an item is functional. If it doesn’t, it’s sent to be scrapped. If it works, the data is safely wiped before the asset is readied for resale or donation to a charitable organization.
5) Disposable Assets
The asset markings are removed initially for assets that are not eligible for remarketing. Second, all hard disc drives, hard disc drives, tape drives, and other data-bearing devices are removed and secured in cages. A secure HDD shredding procedure is used to physically destroy the storage devices. The remaining components, such as copper, polymers, ferrous and nonferrous metals, are broken down to their basic bits and recycled.
