They don’t want it back! Like luxury cars, the market for $50k computers is shallow. No company is buying it.
So you need to find someone with a credit card willing to drop $10k on an old computer. Why would someone do that?
Hell, in my professional life I’ve purged devices with $5m of depreciated value because the replacement cost of a new thing was less than the operational cost of keeping the old thing running.
