How configuration choices affect the CAD figure
- ♦ Higher RAM total (256GB+) typically adds 25–40% premium over base.
- ♦ All-NVMe storage adds 30–50% premium vs spinning-disk-only.
- ♦ Higher CPU SKU (Gold vs Silver, Platinum vs Gold) adds 15–30% premium.
- ♦ iDRAC Enterprise / iLO Advanced licensed adds 5–10% — networking-management value.
- ♦ Original drives present adds 15–25% — buyers prefer kit they don't have to source drives for.
- ♦ Working / tested status with SMART data adds 10–15% over untested.
- ♦ Bulk lot of 20+ identical SKUs adds 15–25% — refurbisher economics.
- ♦ Recent purchase (within OEM warranty) adds 10–20% — transferable warranty value.
- ♦ Mainframe-adjacent or proprietary configurations subtract 20–40%.
- ♦ Heavy modification (custom firmware, locked OEM-keying) subtracts 30–50%.

Server buyback in Canada — frequently asked
Will you buy older Gen8 / Gen9 servers?
Yes — older generations still have refurb-market value, especially in North America where price-sensitivity drives demand for proven kit. Indicative CAD value will reflect the depreciated residual.
Where do I sell my Dell PowerEdge servers in Canada?
Maxicom Canada buys back Dell PowerEdge servers across the R-series, T-series, and MX-series (13G through 16G generations). Indicative CAD residual for working/tested Dell PowerEdge R740 (2× Xeon Gold 6230, 192GB, mixed drives): C$900–1,800. Final quote depends on configuration, volume, and current-week secondary-market demand. Email purchase@maxicom.ca with your asset list for a quote within 2 working hours.
What's the residual value of a 5-year-old HPE ProLiant in Canada?
For a 5-year-old HPE ProLiant DL380 in working/tested condition, indicative residual runs C$400–900 depending on Gen9 vs Gen10, configuration, and condition. Older Gen8 kit runs C$200–500. The market pays a premium for original drives present, working/tested status with SMART data, and bulk lots of 20+ identical SKUs. Mainframe-adjacent or proprietary configurations subtract from base.
Do you buy Sun / Oracle SPARC servers in Canada?
Yes, but typically at lower residuals than x86 enterprise kit because secondary-market demand for SPARC is niche. Indicative CAD residual for working/tested Sun / Oracle SPARC T8-1 / T8-2: C$300–900. For SPARC kit that doesn't move in the secondary market, destruction-only is supported with the standard NIST 800-88 + IEEE 2883-2022 evidence pack.
Best price for used HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 in Canada?
Indicative CAD residual: C$1,200-2,400 for working/tested DL380 Gen10 (2× Xeon Gold 6248, 256GB RAM, 4× NVMe drives). Older Gen9 runs C$700-1,400; Gen11 (current generation) runs higher than Gen10. Final quote depends on exact CPU SKU tier (Silver vs Gold vs Platinum), RAM total (256GB vs 192GB vs 128GB), drive count and type (NVMe vs SAS, 24-bay vs 8-bay), iDRAC Enterprise / iLO Advanced licensing, original drives present, and bulk-lot volume. 20+ identical SKU lots add 15-25% premium.
Where to sell used IBM Power System servers in Canada?
Maxicom Canada quotes IBM Power Systems and legacy IBM x-series. IBM Power demand is niche but stable in North America — typically C$1,500-8,000 per Power 8/9 unit depending on configuration. Lenovo ThinkSystem (the successor to IBM x-series after the Lenovo acquisition) carries similar residuals to comparable Dell / HPE SKUs at C$800-2,500 per unit. Submit asset list with serial numbers and configuration to purchase@maxicom.ca for current-week quote.
Does Maxicom buy SuperMicro and Inspur server brands?
Yes — both. Supermicro AI-server platforms (4× H100, DGX-class equivalents) are particularly strong refurb residuals because of the integrated GPU configurations. Inspur and Huawei enterprise servers also accepted; demand varies by SKU and destination market. Submit asset list with serial numbers, make/model, and configuration. Indicative quote within 2 hours.
How do you price 4-socket vs 2-socket servers?
4-socket flagship servers (HPE ProLiant DL580, Dell PowerEdge R940 / R940xa, Cisco UCS C480) carry higher absolute CAD residuals than 2-socket equivalents but typically lower percentage-of-original-CapEx residual because the secondary-market demand is more niche. Indicative range for working/tested DL580 Gen10: C$2,500-5,000. The 2-socket workhorse SKUs (DL380 Gen10, R740) are higher-volume in the secondary market and carry stronger relative residuals.
