New And Used Hardware

Is New Or Used For You?

At Computer Merchants, we take a creative approach to solving your IBM and Sun system needs. So it’s possible that you may not need to outlay large amounts on new equipment each time you upgrade.

For one reason or another, IBM and Sun users both in Australia and overseas are upgrading their systems all the time. This means we can regularly accessa good suuply of used equipment in perfect working order.

We can pass this equipment on to you at far less than buying new.

Of course, there are certain situations where new equipment may be part of your requirements, and in those instances Computer Merchants can also provide you with the right new product and advice at the best possible price.

Regardless of whether you choose new or used, whether you rent, lease, sell or buy, you can be sure you will save money, you will have flexible financing options, and you will enjoy an outstanding level of customer service.

When You Choose New

Most of our customers probably think we deal only in used IBM equipment.

And yes, while that has been a major part of our business since we began in 1979, providing new IBM solutions for our clients has become a growth area of our business.

Should new IBM equipment be part of your requirements, Computer Merchants has the experience, the contacts and the purchasing power to deliver what you need, and more.

Save Money

Through our network of sources and resources both nationally and internationally, we can access new IBM equipment at highly competitve prices.

We know the IBM product like the back of our hand. Because we can advise you on what’s right for you,

• we can save you the runaround,
• we can save you the confusion,
• we can save you the worry.

You’ll enjoy the peace of mind of a full manufacturers’ warranty, and the reassurance of knowing that Computer Merchants are always at your service.

When You Choose Used

Computer Merchants offer you the flexibility to structure your finances to suit your business and your budget.

Buying used IBM or Sun computers and peripherals carries little risk - reliability is high because few computer components ever wear out. Furthermore, Sun and IBM hardware maintains its value better than similar equipment so when it comes time to upgrade again, you’ll find you have a marketable commodity you can turn into ready cash.

Should you need to add to your existing system in the short term because of a peak, overload or special project situation, renting your IBM or Sun equipment on a short term basis could be the ideal solution. Rental payments are usually considerably lower than those for an equivalent new unit. You also have the option to purchase at a later date if you wish.

If your needs are longer term but your cash flow does not allow you to purchase the system outright, leasing may be the solution. Computer Merchants offers a flexible range of options - you can even add our used Sun or IBM equipment to an existing IBM lease.

Peace Of Mind, Everytime

All our used equipment is guaranteed acceptable for Maintenance. If while under Maintenance your equipment develops a fault or is not operating like a new unit at any time, it will be fixed at no cost to you.

Very few second hand goods carry that kind of assurance.

Second Hand, Not Second Best

The important thing to understand about choosing to buy, lease or rent used equipment is that you are not getting second best.

When you consider the intrinsic quality and reliability of the Sun and IBM product, and the peace of mind offered by our Maintenance guarantee, you are getting a used system which is expected, and indeed guaranteed, to work like new.
