A used Cisco UCS C220 M5 (1U) commonly trades in the roughly $300–$1,200 range depending on CPUs, memory, drives and condition. We buy C220 M5 nodes in bulk across the USA and Canada, take title, and resell globally, with drives wiped to NIST SP 800-88.
The C220 M5 is Cisco's 1U M5-generation rack server on Xeon Scalable. It is past end-of-sale and declining, and Cisco's licensing model (UCS Manager / Intersight entitlement) tends to suppress standalone resale versus equivalent Dell/HPE units — clean, unencumbered nodes price better.
Value is set by the CPU pair, memory, drives and how clean the licensing/management state is. Run your spec through the estimator for an indicative range — we firm it on inspection.

On this platform, value is spread across the chassis and what's inside it — the processors, memory and drives often carry more than the bare unit:
Relative contribution to a typical configured unit — illustrative, not a quote.
Hardware sheds value every quarter it sits. Selling earlier in the curve recovers materially more:
Illustrative depreciation pattern for this class of system — not a quote.
The C220 M5 is past end-of-sale and in decline, but it still moves in bulk because the installed base needs compatible nodes and spares. Cisco licensing and management entitlement weigh on standalone resale more than on Dell/HPE, so the cleanest, most complete units recover the most. As with most EOL gear, selling sooner beats waiting for the curve to flatten.
