How To Sell Cisco Equipment In The UK

If your business has Cisco equipment gathering dust in a storeroom or data centre, we’re here to help you turn that hardware into working capital. 

At VDR Resale, we make it easy for companies across the UK to sell Cisco equipment securely, quickly, and without hassle. 

Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or clearing out old kit, we buy a wide range of Cisco networking hardware and offer fast payment, national collection, and a process that works around your schedule.

What Cisco Equipment Can You Sell?

We buy a broad selection of Cisco equipment, whether recently decommissioned, surplus from an upgrade, or still boxed and unused. 

Most businesses come to us with switches, routers, IP phones, access points, and firewall devices. 

We regularly purchase items like Cisco Catalyst switches, ISR routers, and VoIP phones, and we're just as happy collecting individual units as we are clearing out full racks from enterprise environments.

Even if your hardware isn’t brand new, it could still have significant resale value. Many companies are surprised by how much their used Cisco kit is worth, especially when it's been well-maintained. 

We also accept items in open box condition or gear from cancelled installations. If you're unsure about the value of specific products, our team will give you an honest answer and a competitive quote.

How Does the Cisco Equipment Selling Process Work?

We've made the selling process as straightforward as possible. We’ve refined it over many years working with IT teams, procurement departments, and facilities managers across the UK. 

Everything starts with a quick conversation or message to our team; from there, we handle the rest.

Step 1 – Request a Free Valuation

We’ll first ask for a list of the Cisco hardware you'd like to sell. You don’t need to prepare anything complicated. Please send us a breakdown of what you’ve got, including part numbers. If you’re clearing out a large site or handling decommissioning work, send us your full inventory, and we’ll sort through it.

Once we’ve reviewed your list, we’ll provide a valuation based on current market rates and the condition of the equipment. Our quotes are honest and realistic. We know the value of Cisco gear inside out and always aim to give you the best return possible.

Step 2 – Arrange Secure UK Collection

When you accept our offer, we arrange collection from your premises at a time that suits you. We operate nationwide and can handle collections from single locations or multiple sites. 

Our couriers are experienced in handling sensitive IT hardware and ensure everything is transported securely. If you need help packing your Cisco equipment, let us know. We can advise or even assist where required.

Step 3 – Testing and Data Handling

Once we receive your equipment, our technicians check everything over. We test the hardware, confirm its condition, and ensure any devices that may hold data are wiped to meet security and compliance standards. 

You don’t need to worry about data protection; we handle all of that in accordance with current legislation, including WEEE and GDPR requirements.

Step 4 – Receive Fast Payment

After inspection, we finalise the purchase and send your payment. Most clients receive funds within days of collection. We don’t drag things out or make you chase for updates; our team stays in touch and keeps you informed from start to finish.

Who Buys Used Cisco Equipment in the UK?

Used Cisco equipment is in demand across a wide range of industries. As a resale and refurbishment specialist, we work directly with companies that want to buy quality hardware without the cost of buying new. 

This includes IT service providers, system integrators, telecoms firms, and even schools or local authorities seeking affordable infrastructure upgrades.

When you sell to us, you're not just offloading old hardware; you’re helping another business improve its network with reliable, refurbished technology. 

We also ship internationally, so there is a strong secondary market for Cisco products in Europe and beyond. That’s part of why we can offer such competitive rates.

What Affects the Value of Your Cisco Hardware?

A few things determine how much your Cisco equipment is worth. Condition plays a significant role; clean, complete, and tested items generally command better prices. Original packaging or an open box condition can also increase resale value. 

Market demand for specific models, especially those still supported by Cisco or widely used in enterprise setups, will make a difference, too.

We also consider volume. If you're selling large quantities of the same model, that can affect pricing either way, depending on how saturated the market is. Ultimately, our goal is to give you a fair price that reflects the real-world value of your gear.

Is It Safe to Sell Cisco Equipment That’s Been Used?

Absolutely. Selling used Cisco equipment is safe and encouraged, provided it's done through the proper channels. At VDR Resale, we take compliance and data security seriously. 

We follow all relevant regulations regarding asset disposal, data protection, and environmental handling. That means you can trust us to wipe any sensitive data and dispose of non-working units responsibly.

We also provide documentation where needed, which can be especially useful if you're part of a larger IT department or managing an audit trail. 

If you have concerns about what happens to your hardware after collection, we’ll walk you through our process and provide complete transparency.
