Used IT and business technology
Business IT leaves on a refresh cycle rather than at the end of its life. Laptops, workstations, switches and server hardware come out of service while entirely serviceable, usually because a lease ended or a standard changed.

LotLoop is new and this category has no live listings today. Tell us what you are looking for and we will go and find it — buyers can post a request for equipment that is not yet listed.
Two questions decide a used IT purchase: whether the data is gone, and whether the hardware is still supported. Both are answerable, and neither should be assumed.
What this category covers
- Laptops, desktops and workstations
- Monitors, docks and peripherals
- Switches, routers, firewalls and access points
- Servers, storage arrays and rack hardware
- UPS units, PDUs and cabinets
- Printers, scanners and point of sale hardware

What to check before you buy
Data erasure
Ask what was done to the drives and whether a certificate of erasure exists. This protects the seller as much as the buyer and a professional seller will have an answer ready.
Licensing
Operating system and software licences frequently do not transfer. Establish what is licensed, what is not, and what you will have to buy.
Support and firmware status
Check whether the model is still supported and still receiving firmware and security updates. Unsupported network hardware is a liability rather than a saving.
Battery and consumable condition
On laptops and UPS units the battery is the consumable that decides real-world value. Ask for cycle counts or replacement dates.
Completeness
Confirm chargers, rails, caddies, transceivers and cables are included. Individually trivial, collectively the reason a cheap rack is not cheap.
How buying works on LotLoop
Every listing is reviewed by a person before it is published — nothing goes live automatically. Sellers are businesses, checked against their Companies House record, and the result of that check is shown on the listing. You can buy at a fixed price, make an offer, or request an inspection first.
The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds the seller’s transfer until collection or delivery has been verified. This is not escrow and we do not describe it as such: it is a delayed transfer against an evidenced handover.
Sellers pay 0% commission, permanently. The LotLoop commission sits on the buyer’s side and is 0% for the first six months after public launch. Payment handling is charged separately to the buyer.
Questions
Is data wiped before sale?
Ask the seller through the listing and request the erasure certificate if one exists. Do not assume it has been done, and do not buy storage hardware where the seller cannot answer the question.
Does software transfer with the hardware?
Usually not. Treat licensing as a separate cost and confirm what is included before buying.
Who sells IT equipment on LotLoop?
