1. Inventory of type and quantity
The process begins with a detailed inventory of the old servers your company wants to sell. We ask you to draw up a clear list with specifications such as brand, age, model and technical and cosmetic condition. Are there also broken servers present? Then any defects should be mentioned. If you do not have an inventory list, you can download a blank version from our website and fill it out.
2. Assessing the residual value of servers (valuation)
We use this inventory list to make an accurate valuation. You will receive a preliminary valuation from us by email. Factors such as age, technical specifications, physical condition and market value play a role in this. In general, servers that are not older than five years and are in good condition have an attractive compensation. We offer fair, competitive purchase prices and an all-in service.
3. Quotation and agreements
If you agree to the purchase proposal of the used servers, we will draw up an agreement in which all agreements regarding the sale, such as compensation, transport and any additional services, are recorded. This ensures transparency and clarity throughout the entire sales process.
