Any advice on companies that buy-back hardware?

We have a bunch of hardware that is still somewhat new, but no longer is needed.
Any advice on a place to sell it back to?

Tech Defenders has beem doing this for a while! Don't get burned by a fly-by-night company that doesn't provide certification or indemnification.

ebay,,
lookup the cheapest of the same models you have(dont forget to watch if shipping is included or not, alot of times they make the list price cheaper, but make it up in shipping) dont pay attention to those.
sell yours cheaper than the cheapest (with free shipping)
i wont even sell shit if its not worth more than 200 bucks.
you can ask for more if you install windows and have working systems.

eBay or r/homelabsales type places

I’ve worked with several companies that buy used hardware, but honestly the fastest solution was eBay Business or Facebook Marketplace for companies. I got rid of servers and switches in just a few days.

You would not be selling it "back" to anyone. Often ebay and craigslist are good options for finding buyers for your used haradware. There are also local auction companies that can take the hardware off your hands and pay you cents on the dollar after taking their cut.

Have you had any luck selling on ebay yourself?

Some. Usually the issue is shipping. That's a whole thing.

According to all the 100gbe equipment I've purchased recently this is the most common option.
