so, who wants to be the buyer

Break the flow and change the habit by switching to open-source operating systems and software. If the old way of working isn't taking a business anywhere, a new way to get things done is required. 2nd hand hardware offers a genuine refresh; by giving a device a second chance, the business fatigue caused by bloated, standard systems is cleared out. Shaking up the software—using a complete open-source stack—removes the burden of the old workflow. That is the true meaning of refreshing with old hardware.

During a transformation phase or while training staff for a new chapter, betting on low-risk, 2nd hand hardware paired with open-source systems makes sense. It is the smartest way to implement open-source into business processes, from productivity suites to ERPs. Utilizing 2nd hand laptops or mini-PCs allows for the development of self-contained workflows or dedicated machines for specific tasks without the high cost of new equipment. It is a low-cost entry into a high-performance way of working.

The target of buyer for 2nd hand hardware;

• The power user: One who knows exactly what these machines can do and seeks an open-source environment where hardware is pushed to the absolute limit. Eleven proprietary systems likely just slows the machine down; for those who know best, this is the way to reclaim that performance.
• The urgent need: One in a dire situation who requires functional tech immediately. Help is provided to get the device running without the brand-new price tag. One spill of the water, and them gonna call; gotta back to work fast.
• The deal seeker: One who seeks the best value. This endeavor acts as a conduit to hardware as-is for a fair price. No cut is taken and no profit is made from the hardware; only upfront processing costs are charged to ensure quality and delivery.
