Dear Users,

Here’s another update on our new offerings and the exciting events that has been happening at ebasisbay.com.

We have been working hard for you! The portal will be upgraded with a fresh look and features by mid June. We wanted to make sure your journey to our portal was a pleasant and satisfying experience.

The makeover is not merely cosmetic as faster and higher performance servers will be supporting the “new & improved” portal to ensure better access and efficient transactions. In addition, we have beefed up our infrastructure to ensure more proficient yet stringent accessibility.

There are also added features to serve you better such as the site map, as well as the feature to allow you to renew your listing on your own. As for the enterprise trading section where you may request for quotation of products or post item for sale, we have made it more user-friendly and hassle-free.

Oh yes, and we would like to remind you,

Why buy Used / Refurbished / Pre-owned Computer Hardware (Part 1)

To give you a better insight or help you decide on why buy used / refurbished / pre-owned computer hardware, look no further. We have compiled a list for you:

+ Purchase Price

Buyers can save as much as 70% for the same performance when buying used / refurbished / pre-owned equipment. You can find the greatest savings for the basic applications! Equipment can be bought based on cost vs performance fair price according to market forces.
Buyers who are not able to anticipate their future needs can now purchase hardware or upgrades consistent with their current needs. As opposed to being forced to purchase latest versions of equipments.

+ Retained Value

Systems beyond the early years have already heavily depreciated and will tend to hold steady market price.

graph 1

Based on the graph, we can see that computer hardware does not preserve its original value and depreciates quickly before the end of their functional life.

+ Performance

If the buyer does not require the latest and greatest features, then performance is similar for new and refurbished equipment. Hardware generally has the highest probability of failure during very early period as seen in the graph below.

graph 2

The current equipment can also be improved by installing firmware hardware / operating system.

+ Configuration Options

Furthermore, equipments can be modified to have larger hard drives, higher capacity memory and other advanced features available from third-party vendors.

Look out for more reasons on Why buy Used / Refurbished / Pre-owned Computer Hardware on our next issue! Part 2 will be about reliability, software maintenance, warranty and hardware maintenance.

Without your support, the ebasisbay.com portal will not be successful. We need you to help us to help you. Hence, we appreciate any form of feedback be it constructive criticism, bad criticism or better yet give us a pat on the shoulder if you think we deserve one!
