Sell a Corporate Laptop Fleet
GTR Supply buys corporate laptop and desktop fleets in bulk, from a single refresh cycle up to a whole site clearance. Fleet stock is worth more than assorted consumer machines because it arrives as consistent models in consistent configurations, which is how the organisation bought it in the first place, so group your list by configuration rather than by serial number. Locked machines are bought. Company enrolled machines are bought. Neither needs releasing, unenrolling or unlocking before you contact us, and that alone stops a lot of fleets sitting in a store cupboard for a year. Every system is securely wiped and a certificate of destruction is available on request. Note on your list whether chargers and docks are included, so what arrives matches what was described. Tell us as well if drives have to stay with you.
What we take
Laptops & Desktops we buy.
- Corporate fleet laptops in consistent configurations
- Locked machines and machines still enrolled in company management
- Small form factor, micro and mini tower desktops
- Mobile and desktop workstations
- All in one systems in bulk quantities
- Machines with the drives already removed
- Chargers, docks and monitors alongside the machines
Buying rather than clearing? See the Laptops & Desktops we supply by the lot.
What your list needs
Write these down.
- Model, and manufacturer, per configuration
- Processor generation, not just the family name
- Memory fitted per machine
- Storage size, and whether the drive is still in the machine
- Screen size on laptops
- Quantity per configuration, which is the field that carries the valuation
- Whether chargers and docks are included, noted as a fact rather than a promise
Missing some of it?
Send it anyway and write unknown against the gaps. An honest gap is easy to price around. A wrong specification found at collection is what forces a valuation to be revised.
Not certain what is on the pallet? See the 10 families of Laptops & Desktops that circulate on the secondary market and how to tell them apart, each with the part number prefix or the physical marker that identifies it. That page is identification help for writing this list rather than a stock list.
What moves the number
Up, and down.
Condition is only part of it. Most of what decides a valuation is how the lot is put together and how accurately it is described, and both of those are still in your hands when you write the list.
Moves it up
- A high count against a single configuration
- Recent processor generations, which have a longer usable life ahead of them
- Chargers and docks included with the machines
- Consistent cosmetic condition across the batch
- Drives left in the machines, where your data policy allows it
Moves it down
- A fleet listed machine by machine rather than grouped by configuration
- Cracked screens, missing keys, broken hinges and damaged casing
- Swollen batteries, which have to be dealt with before anything else can happen to the machine
- Older processor generations, which reach the end of their commercial life sooner
- Asset tags and engraved markings that have to be removed before resale

Common questions
Selling Laptops & Desktops, answered.
Do you buy laptops that are still locked or enrolled in company management?
Yes. GTR Supply buys locked machines and machines still enrolled in company management, and you do not need to release, unenroll or unlock anything before contacting us.
This is worth saying plainly because it is the reason a lot of fleets never leave the building. A refresh happens, the old machines go into a store cupboard, somebody discovers they are still enrolled, the person who administered that system has left, and the whole batch sits there depreciating while nobody wants to own the problem.
Note the enrolment on your list so it is priced in from the start rather than discovered later. That is the only thing we need from you on it.
If you can release the machines and would prefer to, that is fine too. It is simply not a condition of us buying them, and it should not be the thing that delays the clearance by another year.
What do Grade A and Grade B mean?
Grade A is near new, with minimal cosmetic marking and no damage that draws the eye. Grade B shows visible wear consistent with normal corporate use, such as scuffing on the lid or palm rest and light marking on the casing, but is fully functional. Both grades are fully tested.
The important point is that grading across this industry is not standardised. One supplier's Grade B is another supplier's Grade A, and the terms carry no agreed definition, so a grade quoted without a stated standard behind it tells you very little.
When you are selling, this cuts in your favour. You do not need to grade the fleet yourself, and you should not try to. Describe the condition in plain words, note anything obviously broken, and let the grading happen here.
What does help is separating the visibly damaged machines onto their own line rather than averaging them into the batch.
How should I group a mixed fleet on the list?
By configuration, not by machine and not by serial number. One line per build, with a count against it, is the format that produces a fast and accurate valuation.
A configuration means the model, the processor generation, the memory, the storage and the screen size. If 120 machines share all five, that is one line and a count of 120, and you are done. If the fleet splits into four builds, that is four lines.
This matters because consistency is what makes a fleet lot worth more than assorted machines. A single image deploys across a whole batch, spares are interchangeable, and accessories match. A list that hides that structure behind 300 individual rows makes it invisible.
Put the oddments at the bottom as one line described as assorted, with a count. GTR Supply will still take them. It is the grouped lines that carry the number.
Should I remove the drives before the machines leave?
Only if your own policy requires it. Every system is securely wiped and a certificate of data destruction is available on request, so removal is not something we need you to do.
Where it is required, say so on the list rather than doing it quietly, because a machine with no drive is a different item from a complete one and the valuation has to reflect that. Machines with the drives already out are still bought.
Some organisations need something in between: certificates issued against specific serial numbers, or drives destroyed physically rather than wiped, or drives pulled and retained on site while the rest of the fleet leaves. All of those are workable, and each changes how the collection is organised, so each needs agreeing before the valuation is finished rather than afterwards.
If you have a written disposal policy, send it with the list. Working from the document is faster than working through it question by question.
Guides
Clearing Laptops & Desktops is mostly a description exercise. These cover what a buyer is actually pricing and what the words on a quote mean before you agree to any of them.
Clearing more than one category?
Most decommissions are mixed. Send the whole list and we will value it as one lot rather than making you split it up first.
