DiggThere are also quality vendors though that provide authentic tested used servers and routers to clients while walking them through any recertification process and service eligibility. There certainly are also bad players, particularly on auction & classified sites that will try to dupe IT buyers for a quick buck, but that business model burns out. The key is to find a good used IT partner.
I’m confident that our company’s commitment to customer satisfaction and ethical business has been a part of our successful growth and revenue gains here at Vibrant. The repeat business of our clients is testament to our ability to meet their needs and expectations, all at a discount price.
One must be very careful pruchasing used and refurbished wequipment from these vendors. Many are reputable, but many more are not. Several small companies have been burned by uncrupulous operators who purchase equipment, strip them of their most valuable parts, replace them with commodity and/or defective parts and then resell them to unwitting buyers looking to save considerable money. Later, when they attempt to obtain service contracts from the OEM, they learn how they’ve been duped and face considerable further investment in order to make the equipment certifiable. Sometimes this isn’t possible and the original investment is lost. It is always better to buy refurbished hardware directly from the OEM or from a vendow they certify.
