Memory is only getting tighter. Micron's CEO recently said 75% of the company's 2027 output is already spoken for, and next year's memory prices look much higher than this year's (source: Ars Technica, Oct 1, 2026).

You can already see it on store shelves. New laptops keep shipping with less RAM and storage while costing more.

Why this matters for your old equipment

When new hardware gets more expensive, good used devices and the parts inside them become more valuable. Memory, storage drives, and other components we harvest from retired machines help keep working devices running longer and get our clients top dollar on buybacks.

That means schools, businesses, and government agencies sitting on older fleets may be holding more value than they think, especially if those devices are sitting unused in a storage room.
