I sent them a low offer of 1500
I don't think that counts as a low offer, if they're going to let it go in that way they'll bite your hand off. Depends on their policy, I do a lot of IT returns from people WFH and the companies are paying more for transport than the kit is worth because they have to sanitise it for security, data protection and commercial confidentiality purposes, and keep control of the disposal path for CSR reasons. Obviously if it's already in their office and you're offering to take it away it simplifies the logistics, but you're still possibly asking them to divert from policy.

I think you overestimate the company's IT policy... They don't have one. It'll go in to the other pile of desktops and be underutilized on basic CAD stuff, but still, I'm pretty sure they don't understand IT depreciation and they think it's still worth 3k. Besides, I'll not pay them 1.5 in cash, only if they agree to take it from my final pay cheque pre-tax which, if I understand correctly, is too small an amount to make them liable for CGT.

Cheers, I sent them a low offer of 1500, will see if they bite. I don't think they're planning on a direct replacement for me so it'll be surplus to requirements, but then again I'll just be using it for extra-curricular work and the odd but if WFHing so can't justify much more.
