# Computer buyback program

Sourcegraph teammates have the opportunity to purchase their previously used device after they have gone through a [device upgrade](../../../benefits-pay-perks/benefits-perks/spending-company-money.md#laptop-upgrade). The entire buyback process, including a full wipe, should be completed within two weeks of receiving a new device.

Tech Ops will source the current trade-in or fair market value of the device and offer a 50/50 purchase price to keep the device as a personal device (please no haggling). Tech Ops will then work with the teammate to finalize payment and perform a factory reset on the device through our endpoint security software. For legal reasons, resets must be performed by Tech Ops and be full factory reset.

## Steps for processing a purchase:

1. Submit a [buyback request form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScOHJDHYHdmbggRni0NWcg-vn_h0XYc6GrdM4RYlcjxhtirEg/viewform)
2. Tech Ops will inform you of the total cost and your portion
3. Submit payment (via check or Paypal)
4. Sign a document accepting ownership of the device ‘as-is’
5. Schedule a time with Tech Ops to perform the device wipe
