There are thousands of users upgrading their smartphones every other year just because they want the latest one, but on the other hand, we have millions of families that can even afford a good laptop. Repurposing our old equipment or letting them have more owners until they stop working is an excellent way to reduce manufacturing costs, overconsumption of resources, and waste.
Selling your old equipment is an excellent way to go green while retrieving some money back, but there are a couple of things to consider.-
- Time. - You don't need to waste your time because it will never come back. Take your time to upload some cool pictures and list your IT assets, but please don't wait until a new model release because electronics value decreases over time.
- Money. - As we previously mentioned, selling your equipment on platforms like eBay or Amazon will charge you some additional fees. If you have over $1,000 in equipment, selling those devices to an ITAD company would be the easiest and most profitable option.
- Risk. - Although the internet is a valuable tool, it is not as safe as you think. Some websites are secure, but others are just scammer-ridden and will make you lose a lot of money, so stay alert when selling your equipment.
- Transparence. - The information about your listing must include brand, model, specs, actual condition, real photos, memory, etc. When selling an item, there's no better way to do it than being honest.
Getting rid of our IT assets can be a real challenge since they represent a risk to the environment and our company's reputation. GreenTek Solutions can give you a hand whenever you are looking to sell your excess IT equipment. Get in touch with us and get a free quote!!
