Sell Used IBM Servers

Comsources is your strategic partner for managing costs across the entire IT hardware lifecycle.

Sell used IBM servers | ComSources LLC

IBM servers are known for their quality, power, and durability. However, as computer and server technologies advance, older brands and systems slowly become redundant. Many companies are left with entire IBM systems that are still in perfect working order, but they don’t realize they are still worth money to other companies. 

There are secondary markets where your IBM servers can recoup some of your investment. Here at ComSources LLC, we purchase your used IBM servers and recycle or resell them in a sustainable and compliant manner. 

Used Server Brands We Accept

At ComSources, we accept a wide range of used server brands, ensuring you can sell your equipment regardless of the manufacturer. Our accepted brands include but are not limited to:

Dell
Cisco
Lenovo

Secondary Markets to Sell IBM Servers

If you are upgrading or keeping unused equipment, now is the time to sell any lingering IBM server. You get some money back for your initial investment and recover value from your older or unused IT hardware. Whenever you are upgrading hardware, consolidating data centers, or closing a business, redundant IBM servers can quickly accumulate on racks and lose their value over time. Instead of letting them go to waste, you can resell them to regain space and boost your IT budget.

Most companies underestimate the value of their used IBM equipment. Such servers are built for life and performance, so there’s often a large secondary market for them. When you work with a trusted IT asset disposition partner, you can enjoy a safe, transparent process. At ComSources LLC, we wipe all data according to and exceeding industry standards, evaluate your IBM equipment, and offer you competitive compensation for it. 

Selling off IBM servers isn’t just about getting rid of obsolete hardware. It is a great way to earn money and reduce the environmental impact of its disposal. You can then invest in more modern servers that deliver better performance for your business.

ComSources LLC offers you a fast, transparent, and easy way to sell your used IBM servers. Please call us and provide the details on the models, quantities, and condition of your IBM servers. We then evaluate the equipment and make an offer based on the current market value.

Once accepted, we handle all the logistics. Upon receipt, we conduct a quick, comprehensive audit of your IBM equipment. If everything is okay, the transaction proceeds to the next phase, where we securely and in compliance with privacy legislation erase the data from your equipment. ComSources LLC follows industry-standard data erasure protocols, including certification, which gives sellers peace of mind knowing that their sensitive data will never fall into the wrong hands.

Once the audit is complete and the data securely deleted, you receive payment. We offer fair payment terms and emphasize that there are no additional hidden charges.

Which Models Do We Buy?

ComSources LLC purchases a wide variety of used servers and IBM models. We are purchasing entire systems (not parts or hard drives), including many from the IBM System x/x-Series, IBM Blade servers, IBM pSeries, IBM iSeries, and IBM zSeries lines.

Among the System x models, ComSources buys IBM x3250 through its generations M2, M3, M4, M5; as well as other rack units like x3550 (M1‑M5), x3650 (M1‑M5), x3750 M4, x3755 and x3755 M3, x3850, x3850 M2, x3850 X5, x3850 X6, x3950, x3950 M2, x3950 X5 and x3950 X6. 

The blade server models include HS20, HS21, HS22, HS23, HS40, HX5; also LS20, LS21, LS22, LS41, LS42; JS20, JS21, JS22, JS23, JS43; QS20, QS21, QS22.

Older architecture lines are also welcome, such as IBM pSeries servers and IBM iSeries servers like 9406‑520, 9406‑800, 9406‑720, along with IBM zSeries mainframe servers.

The Benefits of Reselling Your IBM Servers

When you resell your IBM servers, you recoup part of your initial investment, which can partly fill the gap for the purchase of a new server. Additionally, you are not letting productive hardware go idle; instead, you are freeing up money to invest in new technology or other strategic objectives. Older models retain their resale value in the secondary market, especially when handled by professionals who know how to refurbish and remarket them.

Your business increases your operational efficiency. When you remove outdated servers, your premises have more physical space, and you reduce your maintenance costs. Your IT team can work on your current server systems without having to carry outdated inventory.

When you work with ComSources LLC, you can be assured that our solutions are secure, particularly in terms of data security. By recycling with us, you receive certified and secure data destruction, guaranteeing that any confidential information remains protected and does not fall into the wrong hands.

From an environmental perspective, reselling recycled computers reduces e-waste and promotes sustainable business practices. 

Lastly, you will be dealing with an experienced reseller, which makes the process more straightforward. When you attempt to sell IBM servers and hardware on secondary markets, you must manage listings, negotiate with customers, and handle logistics. With ComSources LLC, you can leave it to us to do everything for you, quickly and with peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I get a quote for my used IBM server?

A: If you are looking for a quote, send us your inventory details, model, quantity, condition, and location. We’ll analyze this and respond within a few business days with an offer. Terms are flexible and are based on condition and market value.

Q: Do you handle logistics, such as packaging and shipping?

A: Yes. After you’ve accepted an order, ComSources LLC provides packaging services and will arrange freight pickup or shipping. For larger or more involved projects, on-site packaging and de-installation can be arranged. Fees for these services are prepaid by us or deducted from your payment; they are never billed separately.

Q: What about data destruction and security?

A: Data protection is our highest priority. All storage media are erased securely using ADISA‑approved software supporting many recognized data wiping standards (e.g., NIST, DoD). We will issue a destruction certificate.

Q: How long does payment take?

A: Once your hardware is received and has passed the audit (verification of condition and quantity), we pay our customers. The audit process usually takes less than 30 days for most shipments. Timing may depend on factors such as size, model complexity, or shipping issues.

Q: Are there any charges or fees beyond the listed price?

A: There are no additional charges. All of our services (e.g., onsite shipping, packaging) are quoted in advance or deducted from your payment. There are no surprise charges. The quote you agree to spells out what will be deducted.
