Whether or not this is a recession, we're banking on increased interest in discount refurbished big-iron datacenter equipment here. The pitch of "we can save you 30-90% off list price" is a lot easier to make when IT managers are trying to figure out how to stretch their budgets to meet demand. I'm sure some buyers will reach out to eBay, but those that need a trusted seller as well as technically experienced engineers and sales reps, will go to the more professional refurb resellers like us. I'm looking forward to reading the series. The last couple of recession periods have marked big increases in spending on used IT hardware.
