Where to bring the machines
We are at 11503 Jones Maltsberger Rd, north of the airport, south of Wurzbach Parkway. Maps will find the building. What it does not tell you is which door, and with a trolley of machines that is the part that matters.
Park at the front. Straight down the hallway inside, Suite 1138 — the last door on the right. There is a rear drop-off that is staffed during business hours, which is the easier option if you are carrying more than one box.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Directions, parking and what to bring →
The paperwork on a business sale
We buy from businesses on the same terms as individuals, with two documents attached to every sale.
-
A Bill of Sale
What changed hands, and when. This is what an asset register needs.
-
A Certificate of Data Destruction
A printed record that the drives we took were securely erased. What it documents is here.
Both come with every business sale. On a personal sale the certificate is issued on request, and it is free either way — but you do have to ask for it.
The standard we work to
This matters more here than anywhere else on the site, so it is stated plainly rather than buried.
The Certificate of Data Destruction documents that we securely erased the device, following the NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization. It is a documented, verifiable erase performed by the people who bought the hardware, with the serials recorded on both documents.
It is the same process we run as recyclers. Buyback Geeks is the buyback division of Alamo Geeks LLC, a computer recycling company first, and our recycling clients’ asset-disposal reviews have accepted the same certificate.
Office lots and clear-outs
A room of retired desktops is the one case where we come to you. On-site collection is available for business lots and office clearouts — it is the single exception to bringing the hardware to us, and it exists because loading a van is not a reasonable thing to ask of an office manager.
Everything else is unchanged: the same logging at collection, the same erase, the same two documents, and payment in cash or by company check.
Call (210) 710-2020 with a rough count of machines and we will tell you whether it is a collection or a drop-off. The full process is on the business decommissioning page.
What is actually worth retiring to us
Office fleets are usually a mix, and only part of the mix is worth anything.
-
Worth bringing
Desktop towers, Windows business laptops, drives that pass a health check, memory, and any workstation graphics cards — those are usually the most valuable single item in the room.
-
Not bought
Printers, networking equipment, Chromebooks, Apple products, tablets and phones. Monitors are bought, but there is no instant quote for a display — describe them and we email a quote, usually within 1–2 hours.
-
Failed drives are not purchased
And a drive kept back rather than sold lowers the offer on the machine it came out of. Both are worth knowing before you sort the room.
Anything on the not-bought list still gets recycled free on the same visit, so a clear-out does not need a second destination.
Common questions
Do you erase drives before reselling them?
Every drive we buy is securely erased at no charge. What that actually does is worth two minutes if the data mattered.
Can we keep our drives and sell the rest?
Yes, and plenty of offices do. The offer on the machine is lower without its drive, which is the honest trade-off rather than a penalty.
Do you handle machines that held patient or client records?
We buy the hardware and erase it, with the serials documented. We do not hold a compliance certification, so if your policy requires one, check that before committing the machines to us.
How are we paid for an office lot?
Cash or company check, the same as any other sale.
