Many companies regularly face the same question: what to do with servers, switches, firewalls or UPS systems that are no longer needed following an upgrade? Often, the equipment still works perfectly well, but is being replaced by more powerful systems. Rather than taking up valuable storage space or being disposed of prematurely, it is worth taking a look at the actual residual value of professional business IT equipment.
At IT-Planet, we are your reliable partner when it comes to purchasing IT hardware, whether it's individual devices, larger quantities or different brands. We offer a fast, uncomplicated process at fair prices and ensure that your devices are reused sustainably.
In many companies, decommissioned servers, switches, routers and UPS systems sit in storage for months or even years. Not only do they take up valuable space, but they also frequently incur additional costs.
When you factor in the cost of proper disposal, further expenses arise. At the same time, the volume of electronic waste is growing, even though many business devices still have a significant residual value or could be reused.
Another important aspect is data protection. Before IT hardware leaves the company, it must be ensured that sensitive company data is protected. This is precisely why many companies are reluctant to pass on their old equipment and instead leave it unused in storage.
Yet there is a significantly more cost-effective and sustainable alternative: IT buy-back.
Many decommissioned business devices still retain a considerable market value even after several years. In particular, servers, storage systems, network components, firewalls, UPS units and VoIP hardware continue to be in high demand on the second-hand market.
Instead of paying for disposal, companies can sell their used IT hardware and thus recoup part of their investment. At the same time, the hardware is reused, resources are conserved and electronic waste is avoided.
With IT-Planet, you’ll receive a fair valuation of your equipment based on the current market value and benefit from a straightforward purchasing process – regardless of whether you wish to sell individual items or entire IT inventories.
We also deal in used hardware and are happy to purchase your old devices. Through our service, you will receive a non-binding offer and can easily submit your hardware using the purchase form.
The focus here is on complete stock or large quantities of equipment. This allows the purchase to be handled efficiently, and companies benefit from a structured sales process.
However, other IT equipment can also be requested.
We purchase network equipment and components from various manufacturers:
We are also happy to purchase devices from other IT manufacturers. If your device is not listed in this category or manufacturer list, we will be happy to provide you with an individual quote.
In order for us to check your hardware correctly, the following criteria must be met:
Careful, professional packaging is particularly important for a successful purchase. This prevents transport damage and ensures an accurate evaluation of your IT hardware.
IT equipment is decommissioned in companies for a wide variety of reasons. Large quantities of hardware become available particularly frequently when:
It is precisely in these situations that large quantities of professional IT hardware often become available, and recycling this equipment can make good business sense.
You have two options when purchasing your hardware.
Direct purchase:
We purchase your used devices at a fixed price. You send us the most important product details such as manufacturer, item number and condition. We then prepare an individual offer for you. Once you accept this, you will receive the agreed amount directly.
Trade-in when purchasing new hardware:
Alternatively, you can trade in your old IT equipment when purchasing new items. You hand over your used hardware to us and receive an attractive discount on your new devices.
Selling your old IT hardware offers numerous advantages, both for your company and for the environment. Above all, our service and IT remarketing offer you a sustainable approach.

Personal advice and support:
Alongside the financial aspect, the handling of stored company data is the most important issue for many IT managers. Even if servers, storage systems or firewalls are no longer in use, they may still contain sensitive information. Therefore, the handover of hardware should always be carried out with the necessary sense of responsibility.
If servers, switches, firewalls, UPS systems or other business IT equipment are taken out of service in your company, this does not necessarily mean the end of their economic usefulness. It is often possible to resell larger stocks of hardware profitably whilst freeing up storage space at the same time.
With IT-Planet as your reliable partner, you benefit from a straightforward process and professional refurbishment of your devices with our full-service IT purchasing. Whether you sell your hardware directly or trade it in when purchasing new devices, you are investing in sustainable IT solutions. Simply send us a list of your used devices using the purchase form and we will get back to you with an offer. We are happy to advise you.
In addition to purchasing your devices, we also offer a wide selection of new or used IT products such as switches, routers, UPS systems and accessories from various manufacturers such as APC, Cisco, HPE Aruba and Eaton.
The value of your IT hardware depends on the device type, brand, model, condition and age. IT-Planet carefully checks whether the devices are still functional, complete and well maintained. The current market value for used IT is also taken into account. This means you quickly receive a fairly calculated offer.
