Do you have off-lease computers that you want to sell at a good price? With the prices of desktop and laptop computers coming down, it’s not as easy as it seems. Most buyers are interested in purchasing brand new computers rather than used ones. However, there is a thriving market for off-lease computers because they are often as good as new ones just from the factory, with or without refurbishing. Off-lease computers should not be confused with refurbished computers, although they may mean the same thing sometimes. An off-lease computer is one that has been leased by a company directly through a manufacturer (such as HP, IBM and Dell) or a leasing company for a period of typically two to three years. Once the lease period is over, it goes back to the owner, who refurbishes it and sells it to a new customer.Since a leased computer is generally serviced regularly and not tampered with, it usually does not need refurbishing. If you can make your potential customer understand this, and many actually do, selling it would be a lot easier. However, it is still a good idea to check the computer thoroughly to make sure that it is in perfect condition. If there are any components that are not working, then you should consider replacing them. If the computer needs refurbishing, then you should also consider that.Sometimes companies sell their off-lease computers on an “as is where is” basis. But if the majority of your computers are in good condition and you want to get good value, then it may not be a good idea. Instead, you should separate the good ones from the bad ones, sell the former at the best price you can get and dismantle the latter to sell their component parts separately. This way, you can get more value for your computers.One thing you must never neglect to do when selling any used computer, whether off-lease or refurbished, is to make sure that all the data contained in it is destroyed securely and permanently. Imagine what could happen if the computer falls in the hands of the wrong people. You could be in for a lot of trouble, such as becoming the victim of financial fraud or identity theft.Deleting files and folders using the tools available on your computer doesn’t work since they can be easily recovered using recovery tools. Some recovery tools can retrieve data from even a badly damaged or burnt hard disk. Therefore, you must get help from certified data destruction professionals, who have the necessary hardware and software tools. They usually work in a safe and secure environment to ensure that nothing goes wrong.If you are looking for good value for your off-lease computers, then get in touch with OceanTech.
