Components & chip buyback — sell boards, ICs and modules

Maxicom buys electronic components and chips across Singapore and Malaysia — ICs and FPGAs, motherboards, GPUs, power supplies, boards and modules, loose or on the board. In a region defined by electronics manufacturing — Penang, Johor and Singapore's own advanced-manufacturing base — excess stock, end-of-line inventory and pulled parts accumulate constantly. We grade on yield and pay in SGD.

The component level is where trading value concentrates. Excess stock, pulled parts and end-of-line inventory all carry value — we buy the lot and price it on grade and yield.

Below the system level, ICs, memory, GPUs and boards are their own market — one we buy into heavily.
Why components

A market that outlives the equipment

Components trade on a different clock to systems. An FPGA, controller, memory module or GPU holds value long after the equipment it came from is obsolete, because it feeds repair, remanufacturing and design-continuity demand worldwide. For manufacturers, contract assemblers, integrators and recyclers, that means excess, end-of-line and pulled components aren't scrap — they're inventory with a market. We buy that inventory, grade it on part number and expected yield, and pay in SGD.

What we buy

Components we actively buy

Part number, grade, demand and expected yield set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:

ICs & FPGAsAMD/Xilinx, Intel/Altera, controllers and programmable logic
Boardsmotherboards, backplanes, riser and daughter boards
Powerserver and workstation PSUs, PDUs, VRMs
GPUs & modulesgraphics and accelerator cards, populated boards
Memory & storage chipsmodules and loose flash/DRAM
Passives & connectorsin volume, where commercially viable
Excess inventoryend-of-line and surplus component stock
Pulled / untestedpriced on grade and expected recovery
The regional picture

South-East Asia's electronics heartland

This region makes electronics as much as it uses them. Penang is a long-established semiconductor assembly and test hub; Johor and the wider Malaysian corridor host electronics manufacturing and EMS operations; and Singapore anchors advanced manufacturing and design. That ecosystem generates a steady stream of excess, end-of-line and pulled components — and it's precisely the supply we're built to buy. We work with manufacturers, distributors, integrators and recyclers across both markets and settle promptly in SGD.

Data security

Components carry no data — but we still document

Loose components and boards hold no user data, so grading is clean. Where components arrive attached to data-bearing hardware, any storage is sanitised to NIST 800-88 or destroyed with a certificate first, on a documented chain of custody — so a component sale never carries a hidden data risk.

How it works

How selling your components and chips works

  1. Send your list. A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos — make, model, rough condition and quantity.
  2. Get a written quote. Priced in SGD against the live secondary market, line-item where it helps.
  3. We collect. Free across Singapore, arranged across Malaysia, on a documented chain of custody.
  4. Data wiped, you get paid. Certificate of destruction, settlement in SGD once your inventory is reconciled.

Data security

Nothing moves until your data is destroyed

Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.

Who we work with

Who sells to us

Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.

Trade welcome

Resellers, distributors and traders

Are you a reseller, distributor or trader sitting on surplus, overstock or end-of-line IT? That's our favourite call. We buy bulk lots outright, price to the live secondary market, and move fast — see how we handle trade stock →
FAQ

Your questions

Do you buy loose ICs and FPGAs?
Yes — loose ICs, FPGAs, controllers and chips in volume are core supply. Send part numbers and quantities (or photos) for a written SGD offer.
Do you buy excess or end-of-line component stock?
Yes — manufacturer and distributor surplus and end-of-line inventory is exactly what we're built to buy.
Do you buy populated boards?
Yes — we recover the valuable components and grade the remainder; send the boards and we price the lot.
How do you price components?
On part number, grade, demand and expected yield against the live market. Untested stock is priced on expected recovery.
Do you work with manufacturers in Penang and Johor?
Yes — we buy from manufacturers, EMS operators, distributors and recyclers across Singapore and Malaysia and arrange collection.
Is there a minimum?
It's a business/bulk service — volume lots price best. We don't buy single hobby parts.
Do you buy design-change or obsoleted stock?
Yes — parts obsoleted by a product revision are common supply and we price them on demand and yield.
How are we paid?
One written offer for the lot, settled promptly in SGD.

About Maxicom

Maxicom Singapore Pte Ltd is an independent IT buyback and recycling company based at 51 Goldhill Plaza, Singapore, serving businesses across Singapore and Malaysia. We recover the value inside retired business IT, destroy data to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883, and route reusable hardware back into service — paying businesses for equipment that other recyclers charge to take.
