Maxicom buys used, surplus and end-of-life business IT across Singapore and Malaysia and pays you for the value inside it — servers, laptops, storage, networking, memory and components. Singapore's density of regional headquarters, banks and data centres means fleets and racks are retired here constantly; we turn that outflow into a written offer in SGD, with data destroyed to NIST 800-88 and free collection across the island.
Singapore is where multinationals base their regional IT, where banks run some of Asia's densest server estates, and where refresh cycles turn over quickly — so a typical clear-out is rarely one clean category. It's a server room here, a laptop fleet there, a store-room of mixed switches, drives and spares. This page is the single door for all of it. Tell us roughly what you have and we route each class to the right desk, grade it against the live secondary market, and come back with one written number in SGD.
Because we operate at the source and resell into a regional and global secondary market, we pay for what a scrap dealer ignores — the memory, processors, drives and boards that hold most of the value. You get a documented, PDPA-aligned disposal and a payment, instead of an invoice and a shredded asset.
Model families are global — Dell, HPE, Cisco, NVIDIA, Xeon, EPYC don't translate — but the price is set by condition, generation and quantity. A sample of what we actively buy:
Rack, blade and tower servers from Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Supermicro and Cisco UCS are our largest category by value — dense with the CPUs, memory and drives the secondary market wants. Whole rooms or single racks, working or faulty; our server-buyback desk grades them by configuration.
Data-centre accelerators — NVIDIA H100, H200, A100, L40S, DGX systems and GPU servers — are the highest-demand hardware we handle, and Asia's build-out through Johor and Singapore keeps them moving. We buy them discreetly and price to live demand; our AI & GPU desk handles these confidentially.
Enterprise storage from Dell EMC, NetApp, Pure Storage and HPE, plus loose enterprise SSDs and HDDs, combines real recoverable value with the region's highest data-destruction bar. Every drive is sanitised or destroyed with a certificate before resale — see our storage desk.
Switches, routers and firewalls from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Fortinet and Palo Alto, plus optics and line cards, hold value long after a refresh and clear steadily. We wipe every configuration and buy whole fabrics or loose units through the networking desk.
Server memory (DDR5/DDR4 RDIMM and LRDIMM) and processors (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC) are our hero supply — the highest value per kilo in retired IT. Loose or still in the servers, tested or pulled, our memory-and-CPU desk grades them against the live market.
Business laptop and desktop fleets — Dell, Lenovo, HP and Apple — from corporate, finance, government and education estates are both a data liability and a recoverable asset. We wipe every device with a certificate and price the fleet; see the laptop-buyback desk.
Monitors, UPS units, POS terminals, IP phones and structured cabling retired alongside the core estate carry value in volume and are worth clearing in the same deal rather than separately. Tell us what's in the room and we fold it into one offer.
Below the system level, GPUs, boards, power supplies, optics and modules are their own market — ICs and FPGAs especially. Excess, end-of-line and pulled stock all have value; our components-and-chip desk grades on part number and yield.
The honest answer is that it depends on what you have — and specifically on what's inside it. Used business IT is worth what the secondary market will pay for its recoverable components (memory, processors, drives, GPUs, boards) plus its value as complete, working equipment, set against condition, generation and quantity. A rack of current-generation servers, a fleet of well-specified laptops or a tray of DDR5 is worth a great deal; older or faulty gear is priced on parts and grade but rarely worth nothing. The one thing that never sets the price is weight.
That is why we don't publish a rate card — we price from your list. Send an inventory, a spreadsheet or just photos, however rough, and we route each class to the right desk, grade it against current demand, and come back with one written offer in SGD, itemised where it helps you compare.
Two forces drive the supply. In Singapore, a concentration of banking, government, telco and multinational IT means large, well-maintained estates cycle out on predictable refreshes — and MAS-regulated firms in particular retire hardware under strict data-governance rules that favour certified disposal. Across the causeway, Malaysia's Johor and Iskandar corridor has become one of South-East Asia's fastest-growing data-centre regions, with build-outs, migrations and early refreshes generating waves of decommissioned servers, storage and networking.
We sit between that outflow and the regional secondary market. That's why we can pay competitively for volume from both markets — and why the trade (resellers, ITADs, refurbishers) sells to us too.
| Scrap dealer | OEM trade-in | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you get paid? | A little, by metal weight | A credit toward new kit | Yes — cash value for what's inside, in SGD |
| Range of gear | Anything, but valued as metal | Only the brand you're buying | Any make, mixed lots, one deal |
| Data destruction | Not reliable | Varies | NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 + certificate |
| Collection | You deliver | Sometimes | Free across Singapore; arranged in Malaysia |
| Paperwork | None | Basic | Manifest + chain of custody + disposition |
Every engagement runs on a documented chain of custody: a collection manifest, sanitisation to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883 with a certificate of destruction, and an asset-by-asset disposition. In Singapore that supports your obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 and, for financial institutions, the MAS Technology Risk Management guidelines; in Malaysia it supports the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 as amended in 2024. You keep the evidence; we take the liability off your floor.
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.
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.
Send your inventory — a spreadsheet, a list, or photos — and we'll come back with a written offer in SGD.
