Equipment removal

IBM Express Asset Recovery Solutions

Turning PC equipment into cash is fast and easy. IBM Express Asset Recovery Solutions now offers a PC buyback service that can help you or your clients recover value and close the books on IBM and non-IBM PC equipment -- regardless of how few machines need to be disposed.

Getting started:
If you're ready to help your clients get money back for their used systems and peripherals, or if you have equipment of your own that may have market value, get a buyback quote to start the process. Provide a detailed description of the PC equipment to check buyback pricing, and submit the order. Once the assets are packaged and ready to be shipped, IBM Express Asset Recovery Solutions offers services that include pickup at any designated location, or the equipment can be returned using a third-party carrier. After IBM Express Asset Recovery Solutions confirms that the equipment matches the product description submitted online, we'll send a check within 30 days -- it's that simple! And even better if the client has more than 25 systems to return, you will be well on your way to earning your 3% Fee!

Disk Overwrite:
For your convenience, IBM offers an optional disk overwrite service that sanitizes disk drives to Department of Defense (DoD) 5220-20-m 3-pass standards, rendering the data virtually irretrievable.
