IT buyback
What are IT remarketing and ITAD?
IT remarketing is the professional resale of used corporate IT: instead of leaving devices in storage or disposing of them, they are tested, securely erased with certification and remarketed through dealer networks. ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) is the wider process of safely retiring IT assets, with documented erasure, valuation and recovery. MB-Smart combines both through Corporate Device Buyback: we buy your devices, provide evidence of erasure and return them to use.

How are lease returns valued?
We value lease returns by model, specification, condition and quantity, with the assessment documented in a test report for each device. This gives lessors and their customers a clear basis for end-of-lease settlement, alongside erasure certificates for every device. Larger return batches are handled together, with handover dates aligned to your processes.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
Do you buy from private individuals?
No. We work exclusively with businesses, public authorities and organisations.
Do I need to reset the devices first?
No. We erase every device with certified software. The only important thing is that devices are released from management systems (e.g. MDM, Apple Business Manager, Google or Microsoft accounts) – we help you with this.
Do you also buy faulty devices?
Yes. Faulty devices are repaired, harvested for spare parts or recycled through a certified process.
How does payment work?
After testing and confirmation of the final price, by bank transfer against invoice or credit note.
