There are a wide range of companies offering used computer equipment. You need to apply due diligence selecting a source company for used gear.

Research and references are essential – as well as the ability of the company to deliver. If a deal appears to be too good to be true – it just might be –especially in an on-line auction with product offered “as is.”

In the end, the rules for success when buying new or used computer equipment are the same.

• Know your technology requirements to avoid paying for unnecessary upgrades.
• Take time to check out prospective vendors so you select a provider that can be counted on for quality equipment and responsive technical support.
