IT Asset Disposition FAQs
It seems like too much trouble to sort through equipment that is already depreciated. It seems easier to just send it to a recycler. Can S3
really make money for us?
Let us do the work for you. We are able to find value in items that would otherwise go to a recycler. Once we sell those items for you, we simply earn a percentage of the sale, so there is no risk to have S3 evaluate your assets once they have been taken out of use. S3 has shown a 20X increase in resale value
for our clients with no upfront costs.
How do we ensure our sensitive data on hard drives is destroyed?
Absolutely. Ulist is designed for purchasing between departments/divisions/locations, or on a simpler level, items can simply be transferred. Regardless of the sale price of an item, whether it is 0 or $100,000, UList will create reports to show all transactions.
What other services do you provide?
S3 is in the business of helping businesses reduce costs and waste generation, reuse assets, and generate revenue from valuable assets. We also provide:
We don't recycle everything. We have a liquidator who buys our used equipment. How is S3 different?
Liquidators are in the business of buying items for as little as possible and then selling them for as much as possible. S3's business model is different. We
are your partner. We sell your items FOR you, and our fees are simply a percentage of the sale price of your items. That means that we are going to do our
best to get you as much as possible on the sale of your items. In addition, businesses often use liquidators because of the ease and speed that you can get
rid of items. S3 provides the same level of convenience, yet we are able to generate significantly more money for you based on our shared reward business
model.
How does S3 sell our items?
A Instead of holding an in-person auction that may only attract local buyers, S3 sells items on several online platforms in order to generate as many bids as
possible. Our items are marketed to buyers all over the world which increases the bid amounts, compared to a small, closed auction. S3 is also an eBay
Trading Assistant, having sold thousands of items on eBay's Business and Industrial sales site. All of the items that we sell for our clients have been deidentified, and our sales never indicate what business the item came from.
How do we get the items to S3?
S3 can pick items up, or our clients often choose to deliver them to us. Alternatively, S3's staff often works on-site at our clients' locations to process the
items if there is suitable work space. We will work with you to determine the most efficient method.
Can we see a chain of custody of our assets once they are in S3's possession?
All of our clients' items are entered and tracked in our secure and proprietary asset management system, S3 Surplus Sales Manager® (SSM). Clients are
given password protected access to this real-time, web-based system to see the status of their assets at any time. SSM provides extensive reporting on revenue generated by originating department, recycling volumes, timeframes, and many other elements of our service to help you manage your business.
