Key factors
- Model and year - business lines hold value best.
- Configuration - CPU, RAM, SSD; for servers, CPUs, drives and PSUs.
- Condition - faulty units still have component value.
- Completeness - chargers, caddies, cartridges.
- Lot size - uniform lots get better unit prices.
- Page count for printers and MFPs.
- Market demand and exchange rates.
