Have your laptops bought back at a fair residual value

Want to sell your written-off or old laptops?

How does buying laptops work?

The process of buying laptops and the price indication can be described in 6 steps. See below how buy hardware in his work.

1. Inventory of type and quantity of laptops

The process begins with a detailed inventory of the laptops, Chromebooks, and notebooks your company plans to sell. We ask you to draw up an inventory list with specifications such as make, model, age, technical condition and any defects. If you do not have an inventory list, you can download a blank copy from our website and complete it. This information enables us to make an accurate valuation and ensure that the rest of the process runs smoothly.

2. Valuation of the laptops (residual value assessment)

We then assess the value of the laptops. Based on the inventory provided, we determine a provisional residual value. Factors such as age, technical specifications, physical condition and market value play a role in this. In general, laptops that are no older than five years and in good condition have a higher valuation. We offer competitive market prices and an all-in service, so that you are assured of a fair offer.

3. Quotation and agreement

After the valuation, you will receive a no-obligation offer from us for the depreciated laptops. If you agree, we will draw up a purchase agreement in which all agreements regarding the sale, such as price, transport and any additional services, are recorded. This ensures transparency and clarity throughout the entire process.

4. Logistics and transport

We offer a low-cost ICT pick-up service for companies throughout the Netherlands. Within 10 working days, we will pick up your old laptops and other IT equipment at your location. Or you can choose to deliver them yourself (by appointment) to our location.

5. Securely delete data

Secure and certified data erasure is a crucial part of our process. We are Blancco, ISO and WEEELABEX certified. We ensure that all data is permanently and irretrievably erased. Afterwards, you will receive a detailed report and an official destruction certificate of data erasure, so that you are assured of a correct and secure processing of your confidential information.

6. Processing, reporting and payment

After collection or delivery, the laptops are taken to our processing department, where they are carefully inspected and tested. Devices that are still suitable for reuse are prepared for a second life. Defective laptops are recycled in an environmentally friendly way, whereby usable parts are reused and harmful substances are disposed of responsibly. You will receive a detailed report of the processed equipment, and the final proceeds will be transferred to your company within 30 days.

Laptop Purchasing and Corporate Social Responsibility

Laptop purchasing stimulates reuse and reduces electronic waste. In this way, it contributes to a circular economy. By giving old laptops and computers a second life, the production of new equipment is reduced, which leads to lower CO2 emissions and savings on scarce raw materials. Companies can also choose to donate the proceeds of the sold hardware to a charity, giving the old equipment a social value.

Turn in old laptops for money

Turn in old laptops for money is certainly possible. Does your company have old or written-off laptops that are no longer in use? Then get maximum return from your written-off IT equipment and contribute to a more sustainable world.

How is the compensation for returning old laptops determined?

There are a number of conditions that apply which partly determine the compensation and value of old laptops, such as:

  • Age: Laptops that are less than five years old and have current specifications tend to retain a higher residual value. Older models can still be turned in, but the compensation for this is often lower.
  • Condition and specifications: Laptops must be in good technical and cosmetic condition and preferably complete with battery, adapter and cables. The lack of these components can reduce the trade-in value.
  • Quantity: The number of laptops can also affect the sales price. This is often higher for a batch (so at least 10 pieces) than for several different types of laptops.
  • Market movement: The demand and supply of outdated and used laptops fluctuates and this affects the purchase price.
  • Other services: Sometimes additional services apply, such as on-site data destruction, transportation or packaging. These services may incur additional costs.

What are my old laptops worth?

Frequently asked questions about buying laptops

What is my old laptop still worth?

The value of your old laptop depends on factors such as brand, model, specifications, age and condition. Working laptops with recent hardware are worth more than outdated or defective models. We can make a valuation based on this information.

How much is a laptop worth after 5 years?

On average, a laptop retains around 10-30% of its original purchase price after 5 years. High-end models from well-known brands can be worth a little more, while budget models depreciate faster. The market value is influenced by the condition of the device and the demand for parts or refurbished laptops.

Who buys laptops?

Laptops can be purchased by specialized IT purchasing companies such as e-waste-Nederland.nl, refurbished suppliers, recycling companies and business hardware buyers. These companies assess the value and determine whether the laptop is reused, refurbished or recycled.

Where to sell old laptop as a private individual?

Individuals can sell their old laptops via online platforms such as Marktplaats, eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You can also offer your laptop to specialized companies that purchase second-hand hardware or have it recycled by a recognized e-waste processor or the municipal recycling center or chemokar.

Handing in old laptops: is there a minimum number?

We do not have a minimum number for handing in old laptops. However, the higher the number (of the same type, for example), the more attractive the bid will be. In addition, the transport costs will be higher for single pieces.

Is our data deleted on old laptops?

Data security is an important and necessary part of our approach. All hard drives are professionally and certified erased according to strict guidelines and work processes. We provide an official certificate of data destruction if desired.

Can you collect the old laptops?

Yes, we offer an ICT pick-up service for companies within the Netherlands, provided that the number of laptops delivered meets our minimum quantity. You can also make an appointment to bring them yourself. IT equipment can be delivered yourself from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00.

Which brands and models do you accept?

We accept laptops from all major brands such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Asus, etc. The value depends on the model, year of manufacture and the technical and cosmetic condition.

Are defective or broken laptops still worth money?

Mostly, broken or defective laptops have no value anymore, but it depends on the degree of damage. Does the laptop not work anymore or is there a scratch on the mouse pad for example.
