IT refresh buyback — offset your upgrade with the fleet you're retiring

Refreshing your servers, laptops or data-centre hardware? The kit you're replacing still holds value. Maxicom buys back your outgoing fleet across Singapore and Malaysia, times collection to your rollout, destroys the data to standard, and pays in SGD — turning a sunk cost into budget for the new estate. Singapore's tight three-to-four-year refresh cycles make this one of our most common engagements.

The scenario

Make the old fleet pay for part of the new one

Every refresh generates a wave of retiring hardware that's easy to treat as a disposal problem. Handled as a buyback, it's a budget line instead. We value the outgoing estate up front so you know the offset before you commit to the purchase, then collect in step with your deployment — no gap where old and new both sit in the building — and destroy every drive with a certificate. For finance teams, that's a quantified recovery that lands in the same cycle as the spend.

No gap, no double-handling

The hardest part of a refresh isn't the buyback — it's the choreography. We coordinate collection to your deployment schedule so the outgoing units leave as the new ones land, avoiding the classic problem of two fleets on the floor and a store-room full of old kit waiting on someone to deal with it. For multi-wave rollouts across Singapore and Malaysia, we phase collection to match.

What you can refresh with us

Endpoints to whole estates

Refresh buyback isn't only laptops. We buy back endpoint fleets, servers and storage from data-centre refreshes, networking from fabric upgrades, and GPUs and accelerators from AI and compute refreshes — often several of these together as an organisation modernises. One valuation, one coordinated collection, one settlement in SGD.

What we buy back

What we take in a refresh

A business and bulk service for corporates, IT teams, banks, schools and data centres across Singapore and Malaysia, timed to your refresh schedule.
How it works

How selling your your outgoing fleet 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.

FAQ

Your questions

How does refresh buyback work?
We value your outgoing fleet up front so you know the offset, then collect in step with your new deployment, destroy the data with a certificate, and pay in SGD.
Can you value it before we commit?
Yes — send the outgoing spec and quantities and we provide a written SGD offer you can factor into the refresh budget.
Do you time collection to our rollout?
Yes — we coordinate collection to your deployment so there's no gap with old and new kit both on site, including phased multi-wave rollouts.
Is data destroyed?
Yes — every device is wiped to NIST 800-88 with a certificate before resale, or physically destroyed where required.
Laptops, servers or both?
Both — endpoint fleets, servers, storage, networking and GPUs, in one coordinated deal.
Do you cover Malaysia?
Yes — Singapore and Malaysia; collection arranged across Malaysia and phased for multi-site refreshes.
Do you handle MDM release for laptops?
We can only resell devices you're authorised to release; clear them from your MDM or management first and we'll advise on the process.
How are we paid?
A written offer in SGD, settled after collection and reconciliation, ideally within the same budget cycle as your purchase.
