Used HFT Trading Servers

[gkadir]

Hi guys,

Is there any place one can buy used HFT servers or something comparable?

I am thinking HFT/trading firms do change their hardware quite often and may sell old gear somewhere.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Wasn't able to find anything suitable hence why I asked if traders knew of any specialist used place online/offline

What do you want? Servers are too slow for the fastest market making algos. They use FPGA.

Is the industry still looking for FPGA programmers?
