Remarketing & Buyback

Turn retired IT hardware into budget, not a disposal bill.

We buy or resell your used laptops, desktops, servers, storage and networking equipment. Every device is wiped following NIST 800-88 guidelines and graded before it is sold, and you choose how you are paid: an upfront purchase or a share of the resale value. Equipment from European and UK sites is processed in our own facilities in Berlin and the UK.

Valuation within 24 hours. Upfront purchase or revenue share. NDA on request.

ReCircle Tech team testing and grading used laptops for resale

Wiped before it is sold. No device is resold until its data is wiped and verified, with a certificate for every serial.

How you get paid

Two ways to recover value, one paper trail.

Pick a fixed price up front, or share in what the hardware actually sells for. Either way your data is wiped first and every device is documented.

Common questions

Remarketing and buyback FAQ

Upfront buyback or revenue share: which is better?

Upfront is the simplest: a fixed price agreed before collection. Revenue share can return more on larger or newer estates, because you share in the actual resale price. We can show you both on the same valuation.

How quickly do we get a valuation?

Usually within 24 hours of receiving your asset list. The more detail on models and specs, the more precise the number.

What happens to our data?

Every device is wiped following NIST 800-88 guidelines and verified before it is resold, and you get a certificate per serial number. Drives that fail are physically shredded.

What equipment still has value?

Business laptops and desktops a few years old, current servers, storage, networking and GPUs usually do. Older equipment can still offset the cost of collection and recycling.

Can the value cover other costs?

Yes. Buyback value can be set against data destruction, decommissioning or collection costs on the same project.

Where do you operate?

Directly in Germany and the UK, with collection across Europe. Further afield we work through our partner network.
