A person’s outdated PC is another person’s treasure. You may no longer have use for an obsolete PC but someone else might, and that’s why you may want to consider reselling as an option. As a general rule, the shorter you make PC refresh cycles, the more costs you can recoup at the end.
Organizations selling PCs at 36 months typically recover 3–5 percent of the original cost of the PC, but beyond 36 months organizations often end up paying 5–10 percent of the cost of a PC just to have it disposed of properly. Your best bet is to get a company to help you put together a hardware asset management plan so you can forecast future PC purchases, take advantage of volume discount programs, and get the most money back for your older computers.
