Buying used computers from auction has its advantages and dis advantages. With technology constantly being upgraded it’s hard and expensive to keep up with it. Used computers sold on Ebay by private sellers usually mean the seller has upgraded and the computer they are selling could be faulty or simply just does not have the memory or hardware needed to operate correctly or at a good working speed. Buying ex lease or computers from insolvency auctions is a safer bet, most of these computers were in good working order and are just being sold because either the lease has expired or the company has declared bankruptcy and their stock and supplies have been put up for auction to recoup money owed to financial lenders or government authorities.
You may find that some of these computers are missing their hard drives or the operating system has been wiped to protect the previous owner’s privacy. These can be easily reinstalled at very little cost to the buyer but you must take that into consideration. On a plus you may get extra programs already installed like Office which can save you money. So weather you are looking to upgrade your home office or setting up a new business on a budget it is worth checking out Used Computers at liquidation and insolvency auctions.
