1. Your business signs up
Aceon collects the business details, inventory type, and preferred handling workflow so partner inventory is tracked cleanly from the beginning.
For repair shops, recyclers, hackerspaces, refurbishers, and IT teams
Turn donor-drive inventory into a clean business workflow instead of a shelf full of maybe-later parts.
Aceon helps shops, recyclers, hackerspaces, refurbishers, and IT teams turn qualifying donor-drive inventory into completed sales. Launch partners currently earn $20 CAD in Bitcoin per completed qualifying sale, and the platform is Bitcoin or Monero only for now.
- $20 CAD in Bitcoin per completed qualifying sale
- Bitcoin or Monero only platform for now
- Built for real donor-drive and parts inventory
- Simple business signup and intake process
- Launch partner workflow now opening in Vancouver
How it works
A straightforward way to test the donor-drive business model with real partners.
2. You send or drop off inventory
Drives and related parts are reviewed to identify items that look suitable for donor-drive resale rather than routine scrap.
3. Aceon evaluates and lists qualifying items
Aceon handles the appraisal, listing workflow, sale handling, and the messy operational bits that usually prevent this inventory from being monetized properly.
4. Completed sales generate partner payout
For the launch model, qualifying completed sales pay the partner $20 CAD worth of Bitcoin per sale.
Launch partner terms
- Current pilot model: $20 CAD in Bitcoin per completed qualifying sale
- Platform payment posture for now: Bitcoin or Monero only
- Intended for business inventory, not casual one-off public submissions
- Qualifying inventory is reviewed by Aceon before listing
- Payout timing and sale qualification are confirmed through partner onboarding
Who this is for
Businesses that keep ending up with potentially useful drives.
- Repair shops: drives removed during repairs, upgrades, or client-declined work
- Hackerspaces and labs: mixed legacy inventory, weird stock, and donor-potential parts
- Recyclers and refurbishers: devices too valuable to toss but too fiddly to process manually
- IT teams and resellers: pulls, spares, and aging storage inventory that may still sell into a niche market
The point is to create a real operating lane for inventory that falls into the awkward gap between “obvious trash” and “easy retail product.” That gap is where donor-drive inventory tends to live.
Why businesses bother
- It turns dead shelf inventory into something monetizable
- It avoids one-by-one listing chaos internally
- It creates a repeatable path for future intake
- It lets a specialist handle evaluation and sales workflow
- It is cleaner than improvising every batch manually
Business signup
Apply to become a donor-drive partner.
Tell Aceon who you are, what sort of inventory you have, and how you want the pilot relationship set up. This is the right place for businesses like The Hackery and similar Vancouver-area partners to start.
What this signup is meant to do

- Give Aceon a proper intake lane for this business model
Pilot-friendly businesses usually have
- A steady trickle of odd storage inventory

- Enough trust in Aceon to test a simple shared model
- A desire for cleaner, repeatable handling instead of ad hoc sales
FAQ
Questions a new inventory partner is likely to ask
Who is this for?
Businesses and organizations with donor-drive or related storage inventory — for example repair shops, recyclers, hackerspaces, refurbishers, and IT teams.
What does Aceon do?
Aceon reviews qualifying inventory, prepares listings, handles the sales workflow, and runs the process that most partners do not want to manage manually themselves.
How does partner payout work?
The current launch model is $20 CAD in Bitcoin per completed qualifying sale, with final details confirmed during onboarding. The platform is Bitcoin-or-Monero-only for now, and optional wallet fields can be provided during signup.
Does every drive qualify?
No. This is a reviewed inventory lane, not a promise that every single drive or part will be listed or sold.
Can I start with a test batch?
Yes. In fact, that is the sensible way to start. A small real batch is usually better than pretending everything is solved before the first intake.
Is this for urgent data recovery clients?
No. This page is for donor-drive and inventory partners. Urgent recovery cases should still go through Aceon’s normal phone or case-intake path.
