How it works

From your asset list to getting paid.

Selling your retired IT to us is deliberately simple: send a list, get a written offer in CAD, we collect and destroy the data, and you're paid — with a certificate for every drive and a documented chain of custody the whole way.

How it works

Four steps, and you get paid.

1

Send your list

A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos. No formatting needed.

2

Get a written quote

A firm offer in CAD against your PO, priced to the live secondary market.

3

We collect

Collection arranged GTA-wide and nationwide, on a documented chain of custody.

4

You get paid

Data wiped, a certificate of destruction issued, settled in CAD.

In a bit more detail

What each step actually involves.

1. Send your list

A spreadsheet, an asset register, or just photos of the racks or shelves. The more detail — models, specs, quantities, condition — the sharper the quote, but a rough list is enough to start.

2. Get a written quote

We price against the current secondary market and send a written, line-item offer in CAD against your PO. No automated instant-price engine — a real desk looks at real gear so the number is fair. No obligation until you accept.

3. We collect

Once you accept, collection is arranged across the GTA and nationwide on a documented chain of custody, worked into the deal. We handle the loading; for sensitive exits, on-site or witness destruction can be arranged.

4. Data wiped, you get paid

Every data-bearing drive is sanitized to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 (or physically destroyed if it can't be wiped), a certificate is issued per drive, and you're settled in CAD.

What you receive

The paperwork, every time.

Written CAD offer

Line-item, against your PO — a real number from our desk.

Certificate of destruction

Per drive, with the method and verification recorded.

Chain of custody

Documented from collection to settlement, for your auditor.

Data security

Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.

The whole process exists to make one thing safe: selling retired IT without your data going anywhere. That's why destruction and documentation are built into every step.

Questions

The short answers.

How do I start?
Send your asset list — a spreadsheet, inventory or photos — through the quote page. That's step one; we take it from there.
How is the quote calculated?
Against the current secondary market for your specific models, specs and condition — a written, line-item CAD offer, not an automated instant price.
Is there any obligation?
No — the quote is free and there's no obligation until you accept it.
Who arranges and pays for collection?
We arrange collection across the GTA and nationwide, worked into the deal rather than billed on top; the details are confirmed in your written quote.
When and how do I get paid?
Once the gear is collected and data destroyed, you're settled in CAD against your PO, with certificates issued.
What if some units are faulty?
That's fine — note the condition on your list. Faulty units still hold value in their parts and we price accordingly.
Do you serve businesses across all of Canada?
Yes — we're based in Brampton, Ontario and work with businesses nationwide, with collection arranged across the GTA and the rest of Canada. Business hubs like Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver are all served.
