Companies that buy used hardware?

[mikecel79]

Anyone know any companies that will buy used hardware? We've consolidate our 3 buildings across the US into 1 and we now have a few backup drives we no longer need. We have a Tandberg TDS 1420 (20 tape SLR changer), 2 SDLT220 drives, 1 HP SureStore 8 DLT7000 changer, and an Seagate AIT 4 tape changer. Were looking to unload all this stuff and was wondering if there is a place that buys used equipment like this.

I would donate it to a non-profit organization and write it off. Any large non-profit that collects a lot of data could use the DLT changer as a backup device. Another way to go would be to ebay it.

FS/FT?

My company is hoping to make some cash off the sale of this hardware so they won't want to donate it. I thought about donating it to a non-profit organization but they wouldn't go for it.

Check your local yellow pages - here in Tucson we have a couple of places that make that their business. The one I know is Computer Renaissance.

Used Stuff

Giving away to non-profits is still your best bet. Your tax deductions would be greater than any cash received.
