TAP TO PAUSE
PAUSED — TAP TO RESUME
Retired IT equipment has a strange status on the balance sheet: it's already written off, so nobody feels its value draining. But the secondary market does — resale prices for enterprise hardware decay continuously, and each refresh cycle that passes pushes your stored generation further down the curve.
Meanwhile the pallet isn't free to keep. It occupies space, it carries data risk the whole time it sits, and the eventual disposition costs the same whether the equipment is worth something or nothing.
The move is simple: decommission, sanitize, and remarket on a schedule, while the hardware still has a market. Value recovery offsets program cost — and with a value-share structure, the proceeds come back to you with settlement reporting.
Send us a rough inventory and we'll tell you what the market says it's worth — before another quarter melts off.
