Server buyback — sell your used and decommissioned servers

Maxicom buys used, surplus and decommissioned servers across Singapore and Malaysia — Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS, Supermicro and more. We pay for the value inside (CPUs, memory, drives and boards), wipe every drive to NIST 800-88, and pay in SGD. From a single rack in a CBD comms room to a full row coming out of a Johor data centre — send your list and we'll price it.

A scrap dealer weighs the chassis; we value what's inside it. That's why our numbers beat scrap and OEM trade-in credits — and why we still collect free in Singapore and wipe every drive with a certificate.

Memory, processors and drives carry most of a retired server's resale value — the parts a scrap yard never pays for.
Why servers

Why servers are the highest-value estate you can sell us

A modern enterprise server is a dense bundle of the exact components the secondary market wants most: registered DDR4/DDR5 memory, current and prior-generation Xeon and EPYC processors, enterprise SSDs and NVMe, and boards with real reuse value. When a bank in Raffles Place refreshes, or a colocation tenant in Jurong or a hyperscale operator in Iskandar decommissions a row, that hardware still has years of service left in it for a buyer elsewhere. We recover and remarket it, which is why we can pay for a decommissioned server rather than charge to take it.

The alternative routes leave money on the table: a scrap dealer pays metal weight, and an OEM trade-in gives a credit locked to buying more of the same brand. We pay cash value, in SGD, for any make.

The regional picture

Singapore density, Johor growth — servers cycle out fast here

Singapore packs an unusual concentration of enterprise compute into a small footprint: financial institutions under MAS oversight, government and GLC systems, telcos and a mature colocation market all refresh on tight cycles. Next door, the Johor–Iskandar corridor has become one of the region's hottest data-centre build zones, and with new capacity comes migration, consolidation and the first waves of decommissioned kit. Both produce a steady flow of well-maintained servers with real secondary value — and both are within our collection footprint.

What we take, and who it's for

A business and bulk service for server rooms, data centres and IT teams across Singapore and Malaysia. Whole-lot deals move fastest and price best.
Data security

Every drive wiped before a server moves

No server leaves your control with data on it. Drives are sanitised to NIST 800-88 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe) with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody; unwipeable drives are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. For MAS-regulated firms we can align to your internal TRM controls and support witnessed destruction — the evidence your auditor needs, built into the deal.

How it works

How selling your servers 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

Which servers do you buy?
Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS, Supermicro and most enterprise brands — current or several generations old, working or faulty.
Do you buy servers with the disks removed?
Yes. Many customers pull or destroy their own drives first — that's fine. Tell us the configuration and we price accordingly; we can also wipe or destroy the drives for you with a certificate.
How is the price worked out?
We grade the CPUs, memory, drives, generation and condition against the live secondary market. There's no fixed rate — send the configuration and we send a written number in SGD.
Do you handle decommissioning?
Yes — for whole rooms we de-rack, label and remove on a documented chain of custody. See data-centre decommissioning.
Is my data safe under PDPA and MAS rules?
Yes. Drives are sanitised to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate before resale, on a chain of custody that supports your PDPA obligations and MAS TRM controls.
Do you cover the Johor/Iskandar data centres?
Yes — we buy from operators and tenants across Singapore and Malaysia and arrange collection for the Johor/Iskandar corridor.
Do you take faulty or incomplete servers?
Yes — boot-failed, part-populated and mixed-condition units carry component value. Tell us what you know and we price it in.
How quickly can you collect?
On acceptance we schedule collection to your access window; whole-room jobs are coordinated to your change-control timeline.

What are your servers worth?

Send your server list or a rack photo and we'll come back with a written SGD offer and a collection date.
