Why selling pays off
Retired devices lose value every month. Selling them promptly achieves better prices, saves storage space and avoids disposal costs. At the same time, resale extends the service life of the devices – a plus for your sustainability goals.
The right time
Plan the sale as part of your hardware refresh. Devices sold straight after replacement usually fetch better prices than devices that come out of storage months later.
What affects the price
Model and year, specification such as processor and storage, visual and technical condition, quantity and uniformity of the stock, and accessories such as power supplies.
Preparation: remove locks, create a list
Remove devices from MDM systems and release activation locks. A device list with model, serial number and condition speeds up the quote – feel free to use our template. Download the device list template
Don’t forget data erasure
Insist on certified erasure with proof for each device. A simple reset is not proof.
Conclusion
Plan early, choose a specialist partner and insist on certified erasure, and you turn old devices into budget – securely and sustainably.
