When looking for a vendor that buys used laptops, some factors to consider are pricing, convenience, and professionalism.

An equipment dealer that specializes in buying used laptops may be able to offer more per unit than you would receive selling the used laptops in lots combined with desktops, servers, printers, and other computer related equipment. This extra value for your used laptop computers can help offset the cost of new units. Vendors that buy used laptops typically pay for shipping so you have no expenses.

Data Cleansing: Intellectual Capital and Sensitive Data. Because you need to ensure intellectual capital and sensitive data is removed from used laptop harddrives, vendors that specialize in buying used laptops are accustomed to your sensitive data needs. Options to remove sensitive data include a re-install of the OS, one-pass disk wipe, and multi-pass DOD compliant disk wipe.

Your time is also very important. Vendors that specialize in buying used laptops can make packing and removal of your used laptops easy and quick. Packers can be made available to help facilitate packing, if necessary.

Last, when dealing in used equipment, you want to work with a company that is professional where you can be assured of payment for your used laptops and that is cognizant of your needs.
