How to sell surplus IT hardware in bulk

Selling surplus IT in bulk is simplest when you sell to one buyer who takes the whole lot. Build an asset list, send it to a wholesale desk for a firm offer, agree terms, and arrange pickup. No parting-out, no marketplace, no per-unit haggling.

USA & Canada One buyer — we take title Drives wiped to NIST SP 800-88 Indicative range, firm on inspection

1. Build an asset list

A spreadsheet beats photos. Capture make/model, quantity, and condition for each line. For servers and storage, add configuration; for components, add manufacturer part numbers, packaging and date codes.

2. Sell to a trading desk, not a marketplace

A marketplace means listing, shipping and haggling unit by unit. A wholesale desk buys the whole lot, takes title, and carries the resale risk — you get one transaction and the gear gone.

3. Handle data up front

For anything with drives, confirm sanitization. We wipe every data-bearing device to NIST SP 800-88 with destruction on request, so the sale is clean for IT and compliance.

4. Agree terms, then ship

Pickup, timing and payment are set in the signed offer before anything moves. Logistics scale to the lot, from pallets to a full decommission.
