Sell used networking in Canada

Enterprise networking keeps its value on the secondary market.

Switches, routers and firewalls hold strong resale value long after a refresh — and the transceivers and line cards inside them often more than the chassis. We buy it all, clear any stored configuration, and pay you in CAD. Here's what we buy.

Cisco

Catalyst and Nexus switching, ISR/ASR routing, Meraki and firewalls.

Examples: Catalyst 9000 / 3850 / 3650 · Nexus 9K / 7K / 5K · ISR / ASR · Meraki MS/MX · Firepower

Juniper & Arista

Data-centre and campus switching and routing.

Examples: Juniper EX / QFX / MX / SRX · Arista 7050 / 7280 / 7500

Firewalls & security

Next-gen firewalls and security appliances, config cleared.

Examples: Fortinet FortiGate · Palo Alto PA-series · Cisco Firepower / ASA · Check Point

Optics, cards & chassis

The dense value inside — pluggables and modules in volume.

Examples: SFP / SFP+ / QSFP / QSFP28 transceivers · line cards · supervisors · power supplies
What we take

A wiring closet or a whole network.

  • Full network refreshes — the old estate as new kit lands — switching, routing and security together
  • Loose optics & modules — transceivers, line cards and supervisors in volume
  • Firewalls & appliances — with stored configuration cleared before resale
  • Reseller & ITAD stock — surplus and client-estate networking, on NDA
A business and bulk service. Quantity of a single SKU — a stack of the same switch, a tray of one transceiver — sharpens the offer most.
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.

Data security

Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.

Networking gear can hold stored configuration and credentials. We clear device configuration before resale, and any data-bearing media is sanitized to standard with a certificate.

Data security & compliance →

NIST 800-88 & IEEE 2883Each drive sanitized to the standard for its media type; drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner.
Certificate of destructionPer-drive certificate and documented chain of custody — the paperwork your auditor asks for.
Configuration clearedStored configs and credentials wiped from switches, routers and firewalls before anything is resold.
What drives your offer

How we price it — and how to get the best number.

Send an accurate list and you get an accurate price. What moves the offer on a networking hardware is specific: the exact make, model and generation; the specification (processors, memory, capacity, ports or media); condition and completeness; the quantity and how matched the lot is; and current demand on the secondary market. Data-bearing media also has to be destroyed, which we build into the deal rather than charge for on top. The more precise your list, the sharper and faster the written CAD number comes back.

Why Maxicom

Why sellers choose Maxicom.

We pay, we don't charge

Value recovered and paid in CAD against your PO — not a disposal fee. That single difference is the whole point.

We buy at the source

Direct from businesses, decommissions and the trade — so prices are keener and stock has a known history.

Honest about data & certs

NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate per drive. No R2, e-Stewards, ISO or NAID AAA badges we don't hold.

We take the whole lot

Mixed conditions, faulty units, whole estates — one deal, not cherry-picking the easy items.

We respect the trade

Resellers' and ITADs' stock moves through our network on NDA, never back into your own market.

Documented, audit-ready

A written line-item offer, chain of custody, and certificates — the paperwork your auditor and privacy officer expect.

Questions

The short answers.

What networking brands do you buy?
Cisco (Catalyst, Nexus, ISR/ASR, Meraki, Firepower), Juniper (EX/QFX/MX/SRX), Arista, Fortinet, Palo Alto and Check Point — switches, routers, firewalls and optics.
Do you buy loose transceivers and line cards?
Yes — SFP/QSFP optics, line cards, supervisors and power supplies in volume are some of the best-value items we buy.
Is stored configuration wiped?
Yes — device configuration and credentials are cleared before resale; any data-bearing media is sanitized to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate.
Do you buy faulty or end-of-life networking?
Yes — faulty and EOL units still carry value in their optics, cards and components. Note the condition on the list.
Can you take a whole network refresh?
Yes — from a single closet to an entire campus or data-centre network, on a documented chain of custody.
Do you buy from resellers and ITADs?
Yes — resellers, ITADs and MSPs sell us surplus and client networking on NDA, and buy refurbished stock back from us.
How should I prepare my asset list?
However is easiest — a spreadsheet, an asset register, or clear photos. Useful details are make/model, key specs, quantity and rough condition. A rough list is enough to start; we'll ask if we need more.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes — NDA is standard for trade, M&A and sensitive exits, and available on request for any engagement. Your sources, customers and reasons for selling stay confidential.
How and when do you pay?
In CAD against your purchase order once the equipment is collected and the data destroyed. Payment terms are confirmed in your written quote — no vague promises up front.
Do you provide a chain of custody and certificates?
Yes — a documented chain of custody from collection to settlement, and a certificate of destruction per data-bearing drive. It's the record auditors and privacy officers ask for.
